Honestly, it looked like it came straight out of a magazine. We were there for an event at the hotel, which was held at one of the steak houses. The whole atmosphere was amazing. It felt like you were walking straight off the beach and into this beautiful, upscale hotel. Everything was so well done, from the decor to the overall ambiance. It was definitely a place that made an impression!

We stay at luxury properties around the world and this is NOT one of them. For $1000+ a night out…read moreof season....we expected quite a bit more. We were so disappointed by the condition of this hotel and the apparent attempt at repeatedly padding the room service and bar bills. We stayed for two weeks due to an insurance claim that left us without a livable home. We booked the suite because we both had to work from the room instead of out of our two home office. I must say that the valet, bellman and room service staff were exceptional, but I had to repeatedly ask for reverses on bills, rooms to be cleaned and more. Each time we ordered room service for breakfast we got more than we ordered or items were missing and were charged for it. I had to show management photos of issues for them to address it and though they put an english speaking person answering the phones, the double food and charging still continued. Austin, the server, had to repeatedly remove extra food, adjust bills, etc. The task of getting receipts was daunting and I had to ask management repeatedly to secure the room service bills to ensure that the credits were accurately billed. The bar needs to be watched as well. We are there twice for dinner and I order a glass of Pablo Rojas. When I checked the bill I was charge $24 instead of $18. When asked, the bartender stated that there were two on the menu. He never asked me which one wanted. This seems to be a common practice. The housekeeping was lacking. The room was infested with sugar ants and when I complained, I was told that they are difficult to manage because of the sugar on the coffee bar but did not rectify the issue. When we checked in I was walking the room with white socks and they ended up filthy.. I had to request that the floors be cleaned. There was also hair in the shower upon check in. We repeatedly had to request that our room be cleaned even though the assistant manager checked with me at check-in and we agreed that it would be cleaned every day at 10:15am. I never heard from him again. The coup-de-gras was our floor leaked and was getting the carpet wet. The first time I complained I was told that engineering has checked it out and that there were no pipes under the floor to create a problem. The carpet was left wet. I complained again and engineering came to our room twice again that evening and agreed that the floor was leaking, but they did not know from where. We lived with a wet carpet the entire time ( no shop-vac, carpet cleaning,). I had to ask management to replace our coffee cups with clean mugs instead of rinsing out and replacing. Housekeeping does not keep any clean glassware of mugs. They just rinse and return. I finally kept disposable cups and styrofoam coffee cups in the room....the sanitation is disgusting.

Don't let the exterior fool you. After parking I walked into the venue and I was blown away. I had…read morebeen looking for a venue for my company's holiday party and had made a couple of appointments to tour venue and the Loft was the first place AND last place I saw. Before I went in, I spoke with Wes who owns the business along with his wife. Wes was very helpful and informed me of an upcoming event at the Loft where I can see the venue in person and get a tasting of caterer they work with - Potions and Motions (who were great). When I arrived for the event, Wes greeted me and gave me a tour of the venue. I was immediately impressed by the set up, light fixtures, and the flexibility of the space. What sold me was the flexibility, as we could bring in our own DJ, caterer, and valet. We of course went with Wes' recommendations who where amazing! On the night of the event, Wes and his wife worked with us with some last minute decoration changes and we are so grateful they did. Everything looked so elegant, even with our minimal decorations. Our holiday was a smash and we have to thank Wes and his wife. Wes helped me with DJ, catering, and valet vendors which made it so easy to plan our party.

This post is long overdue but I had a wonderful time when I visited the Morikami Museum & Garden…read more The museum is small but well curated and organized. There is a snack cafe on the way out to the gardens where you can purchase drinks & light food items. There is also a museum store and a theater inside the museum. I do recommend that you visit the museum as early as possible to have the best experience with fewer people and cooler temperatures. However, the real showstopper here is Roji-en (Garden of the Drips of Dew) - the 16 acre Japanese garden with over a mile of accessible walking paths to explore and enjoy. The original museum building (the Yamato-kan) measures approximately 2,000 square feet and is set inside the garden. There is a huge pond in the garden as well, and plenty of nooks and crannies to discover/ When driving into the museum grounds, you experience part of the 200-acre Morikami Park, which includes pine forests, nature trails, and picnic spaces. You can definitely continue to enjoy your day surrounded by nature in the park once you've toured the museum & garden. Open: Tuesday -Sunday 10am-5pm Adult entry: $18 Plenty of parking in the large parking lot Arigato!

It is a wonderful day trip, you can have lunch at the cafe on the outdoor patio and enjoy a variety of Asian dishes, boba tea, and other cold treats. There is a short movie that tells visitors about the inspiring life of George Morikami, the man who created this place and dedicated hundreds of acres back to Florida. There was an exhibition on Japanese Bridal Kimonos, Japan's efforts in American wars, and a model 16th century tea house with a very informative diagram explaining the traditions and build out. The gift shop had so many cool things bookmarks, Japanese candy, art, keep sakes, clothes, and so much more. Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens is unforgettable.

She absolutely ruined my wedding, said we had the venue, tables, chairs, all night until 12am yet she had her servers taking tables apart at 845p DURING the event. Instead of finishing the decor we discussed she found it more important to show other STRANGERS inside my event, even though when I previously came to see the venue I was turned away because there was an event going on. Completely unprofessional. Didn't have ANY cold drinks for my guests when they arrived at 2pm despite us dropping off all the beverages the day before. Yelling at guests, yelling at her own servers and bar tenders because she failed to get them ready for the event. She had no appetizers out during cocktail hour, my mother had to take her to the fridge to show her the appetizers that she BROUGHT TO HER that morning. Gave them to her directly yet she yelled at my mother saying we have no appetizers then didn't even apologize for being wrong. If she was a real woman of church she would have atleast offered some type of refund. Terrible place. Do not be like me and give her the benefit of the doubt, go elsewhere. The venue is beautiful but not worth all the drama lucy starts.

This is a beautifully laid out rooftop bar and lounge that sits on the corner of Atlantic and federal highway, with a beautiful view of the beach and water, and cant forget the palm trees. They have 3 unisex bathrooms and fire pits laid out for the chiller days. We ordered some short rib tacos and a cheese plate to go with our drinks. Our waiter, Glenn was fantastic, very attentive and constantly came over to our section. Food came out quickly and was just what we needed to enhance our experience. The live music was the real key for me here, The act was fantastic, he had people dancing and singing along, took requests and put his own flair some classic songs. As I stated this place was a great place to check out on a sunny day, I cant wait to come back for more.

He instantaneously knew what we needed and even what accessories I should wear from 1 inspiration photo and from my wedding dress. His enthusiasm about every detail is something every bride dreams about. He may have enjoyed this process more than I did and that's a hard thing to do because I breathed wedding details in every spare moment that I could for 14 months (I'm sure my then fiance loved this). I can't picture anyone except Skip and his terrific team at Daniel Events putting this event together and working alongside our wedding venue & planner to make this an event that we will never forget. It's been 2 weeks and every photo or video sent to us (whether from guest or photographer) looks so beautiful. I would recommend this vendor to anyone that is looking. They will work with whatever budget you have and the result will be amazing!
