I first heard about the
Pearl Hotel whilst mingling poolside at
Tiki Oasis just last summer. I immediately thought it was the kind of place a girl like me would belong. And so it was!
After the
Zoo, we found our way over to The Pearl (as mentioned in my previous
post). While heading down the road, you might miss it in a blink. This place must have once been an old run down side-of-the-highway motels you see in any town. However, the Pearl's owner saw its potential as a beautiful new and hip side-of-the-highway mid-century mod inspired hotel! This 25-roomed hideaway is a new favorite and I will definitely return for their summer
Dive-in movie! Yes, they have a giant projector screen above the pool, so you can lounge or swim about while watching popular old movies from the past. They also have a hip little lounge where you can play a variety of board games or cards. I have every intention to get in on that action, but we were having too much fun at the bar playing
Space Team on our
iPhones. Seriously. Space Team is totally geeky, but a lot of fun to play if you have 2-4 friends. Try it!
After a solid power nap, Kevin and I spruced up a bit and walked on over to the bar. I wore my favorite stand by and perfect traveling dress,
the Nice Dress from the
Mandie Bee line.
Not only is the food delicious at the Pearl, (and we only ate the veggies) the cocktails are to die for! We have to thank the bartender, Emily, for providing super service and delicious concoctions. She made me a blackberry-something-something lemon drop with honey? She said she made it up as she went. That's cool! If you're a sucker for tasty craft cocktails like me, you'll have to at least stop by their bar for a drink. You will not be disappointed. Promise!
The rooms are very nice and fresh. The cutest thing about the room itself is the permanent room mate. This was our room mate, Ace. Who knew a beta fish would be good company?!
We managed to order too much champagne and fell asleep at an unreasonable hour, but woke up with the security of knowing checkout time was at noon and not something silly like...say, 11.
With Love & No Regrets,
Mandie Bee
