Weddingbee

Puerto Rico was beautiful. It was humid, we had some scattered showers, but overall it was beautiful. I especially loved Old San Juan.

We stayed at The Water Club which was located right on the beach in San Juan. The people there were so kind and just very warm.

July 12th / Wed
Bought a snack before we got on the plane. I love sour candy. I’m a sucka for it.

We’re here! Puerto Rico! HO!!!!!!

Ok let me tell you about The Water Club. We arrived in PR at 1. Check in time was supposed to be at 3, so we left our suitcases at the front desk and walked around outside to kill some time. We got back at 3 and our room wasn’t ready. They told us to come back in 45 minutes so we went up to the roof bar to kill some more time. We came back down after 45 minutes and our room STILL wasn’t ready. They offered us free drinks if we went up to bar again and told us that they would come and get us. Mr. Ladybug was getting pissed.

So we go back up and after another 45 minutes, someone comes and gets us. They take us to our room and it’s NOT the Ocean View room that we had paid for. It’s a partial view. So they apologize and take us up 3 levels and give us yet another partial view. Are you fucking kidding me?! Now I’m pissed! Mr. Ladybug took the time out to plan this whole trip for me and paid extra for an ocean view, and I felt that they were jerking him around. It’s one thing if I take advantage of him (cause he’s my man) but it’s another thing when someone else is doing it. By now I’m livid!

We go downstairs to talk to Fernando at the front desk. He tells us that if we go directly to their website that they offer 4 different views but that if we went through Orbitz or anywhere else to book a stay that they only offer 2 choices. And even though we selected “Ocean View” it’s really a partial view and that we’re getting what we paid for. Mr. Ladybug fucking went off because by now it’s 5 o’ clock people. We got there 4 hours ago and we haven’t done shit.

So then we ask to speak to the manager, Bob. To sum this up really quickly, Bob offers to comp our dinner that night at Tangerine. Whoop-dee-doo. Usually we’re all for boutique hotels but this one stunk. I think the hotel is great for the young and single, but for couples I don’t think it’s that great. I thought the hotel setup was really nice. Very modern. It was rated the top 5 Carribean hotels to stay at in 2003 by Conde Nast Traveler, but then again things must have been different 3 years ago. Mr. Ladybug thinks we should have stayed at the El San Juan instead. C’est la vie. Oh and don’t eat at Tangerine. It sucked ass. Thank God we didn’t pay for it.

This was a statue in the lobby that I thought was absolutely beautiful.

The view from the hotel lobby.

I thought this was pretty cool. When you get in the elevator there’s no ceiling and the back wall of the elevator is glass with water running behind it.

Please ignore the man with the corny pose in the photo. He is not my husband. haha…

The bar on the roof.

Can I just say that I was obsessed with this statue.

I kept staring at it and standing on the seat to get a better look. It looked so tortured. It was beautiful. I actually wanted to steal it but I think they would know that something was up if they saw a 5′1 Asian girl during checkout time carrying a very big marble statue that looked similar to the one that went missing 4 days ago on their roof. Shit. I DESERVE IT! You fucked us over on the ocean view room you bastage! I was a lady. I contained my klepto urges.
