and completely redesigned and redecorated guest rooms. The hotel and guest rooms are definitely unforgettable – the views from the guest room balconies will make you think you have just landed on a Caribbean island. Definitely choose a gulf front room if

if you’re hungry, as they have many dining options serving creative Florida cuisine with Pan-Asian specialties. The chef even has an herb garden for all of the restaurants that is located right on the property and they also grow tomato plants and key lime trees! You can’t get any fresher than that! After dinner, you’ll want to visit the Tiki bar to savor a glass of wine or specialty cocktail under the stars by the light and warmth of the outdoor fire pit while enjoying the ocean breeze. Tell Bobby we said hi and be sure to order a skinny margarita as he makes about the best one I’ve ever had! For a little later night entertainment,
check out the new lobby sushi and cock- tail bar, Korals. The $2.5-million redesign expanded the lobby to include nearly 1,000 square feet of additional space, floor-to- ceiling windows overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, and a sushi bar with a Bisazza tile mural backdrop. As you enter the lobby, you won’t believe your eyes as you gaze upon a custom-designed, 11-foot tall, three-foot wide, 3,600-pound aquarium column, which showcases live tropical fish. With all this luxury, how can they pos- sibly be eco-friendly you ask? We learned that Marriott International aspires to be the global leader in demonstrating how re- sponsible hospitality management can be a positive force for the environment and create economic opportunities around the world.
