Hooray for summer! Summer time means vacation time in the Dias household. We always look forward to going somewhere and do something during the summer days. This year we were able to go on a 7-day cruise to Eastern Caribbean and we had a blast! After we got back from our cruise getaway, we spent another three days in Miami, Florida and stayed at one of the luxurious hotels in Miami.
Summer vacation has always been a great time for quality family bonding. So whether you are looking for a blast of sunlight to recharge your soul or a chance to slip into your bathing suit for bodysurfing, snorkeling or paddleboarding, Trump International Beach Resort will help you make the most out of your stay in Florida.
We were so thrilled to be given the opportunity to received a two-night complimentary accommodation at Trump International Beach Resort. Upon our arrival, the parking valet team and the front desk staff were extremely helpful and were very accommodating. 
Welcome treats for us was impeccable! They spoiled us really well. We stayed in an immaculate and spacious one bedroom suite with a private balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The suite is more than 1,000 square feet with a very spacious bedroom features a plush king-size bed with an ample size walk-in-closet, a separate living room area that has a queen-size sleeper sofa, ottoman, and sitting area.



An elevated collection of amenities, including a spacious bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, a deep-soaking tub and a vanity area.



Imagine a place where you can wake up to a beautiful sunrise every morning from the comfort of your master bedroom. Totally stunning!
Located just north of Miami Beach in Sunny Isles Beach, this lavish resort features a private and pristine beachfront; a delightful grotto-style pool complex with two pools, fountains, waterfalls, and cabanas; a full-service spa and fitness center; two restaurants; three lounges; tennis, a business center; and 22,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. The entire place were exceptionally clean and very well maintained.







We spent our second day (Father's Day) lounging on the beach where they provided us with beach chairs and umbrellas.


Gili’s Beach Club is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and lounge located directly on the property’s pristine, white sand beach.


We had a lovely and scrumptious lunch at Gili's Beach Club. We were very impressed with the quality of food, exquisite presentation, and service. Appetizer and desserts were complimentary. Aside from Gili's Beach Club, there are several dining options at the resort, including: Gili's Pool Bar & Grill, Neomi’s, Fusion Lounge, and in-room dining.
At Trump International Beach Resort, they do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you for making our stay an unforgettable and incomparable experience.

Yay, with the summer sun just around the corner its time to make a splash this season and not to mention it's that time of year again to start making plans for your epic summer vacation. So where are you heading this summer? My family's summer getaway would not be complete without a visit to America's Favorite Waterpark, and that's Schlitterbahn!
If you've never been on to any Schlitterbahn water park, you need to give it a try this summer. They have four waterparks in Texas and one in Kansas. I personally love the Schlitterbahn New Braunfels because they have the best waterpark rides and their resort has a wide variety of accommodations and offers great amenities like unlimited waterpark access during your stay.
If you happen to visit Schlitterbahn New Braunfels, keep in mind these Three Waterpark Survival Tips:
1. Swim shoes or flip flops
Schlitterbahn parks are among the largest in the nation, and that means that invariably there will be some hot spots without shade or outdoor carpet. Wear some sort of water worthy shoe.

2. Suncreen
Water rides remove the best in sunscreen. Apply, ride, repeat.

3. Pack a lunch
Schlitterbahn allows ice chests, but no glass or alcohol. Make sure to pack some favorites but leave room for park specialties like funnel cake and turkey legs!
Taking kids to a waterpark can be a lot easier - and you can be frugal too. Schlitterbahn saves mom's budget by offering free parking, free life jackets, and families can bring in an ice chest of food! Food prices are reasonable and healthy options abound.

My family and I just got back from our short spring break ski trip to Colorado, and we had a fantastic time skiing at Mt. Crested Butte. Three days later, we headed back to Denver and spent a night at The Curtis while waiting for our flight back to Texas.
If you happen to visit the Mile High City of Denver, I would highly recommend The Curtis Hotel for either business or for pleasure.
Located across from the Denver Center for Performing Arts and just blocks from the bustling 16th Street Mall, The Curtis — a Doubletree by Hilton is the place to “Stay Happy” in the downtown Theater District. There are more than 40 restaurants within five blocks of the hotel and plenty of shopping and entertainment to keep guests busy. The award-winning Curtis is also convenient to Denver’s eight professional sports teams, world-class zoo, the Denver Art Museum and History Colorado.
Inside, the lobby sets a playful pace, with bold contemporary features and furnishings in a retro palette.
There is interactive video art of classic childhood games by local artist Gary Emrich.
The Five & Dime store brims with treats from the past serving classic sodas, candies and travel games as well as signature Curtis amenities.
The ground-floor frivolity is just a prelude to the playfulness above, which encourages guests to “Stay Happy” when they stay at The Curtis.
Upon arrival guests will get to enjoy their signature chocolate chip cookie. You can feel that this welcoming gift is only a taste of the warm, personal service you will experience at DoubleTree by Hilton.
With 16 stories to go around, The Curtis features 13 themed guest room floors – including a mysterious 13th Floor – each with eye-catching pop art inspirations and installations. The themed floors include: Perfect Pair Floor, One Hit Wonder Floor, Fun & Games Floor, Sci-Fi Floor (the pet friendly floor), Big Hair Floor, Floor of Champions, Chick Flick Floor, Dance Floor, Dun Dun Dunnnnn!, TV Mania Floor, Mad About Music Floor and Pedal To The Metal.
This whimsical room is chic, contemporary and decorated with bold attention to detail. It's decorated with modern furnishings and eclectic pop art décor.
Each guest room amenities include a flat-screen television, Beetle Speaker System with ZipConnect for iPods and MP3, complimentary high speed wired and wireless internet access, iron and ironing board, coffee maker and coffee, and HHonors points for Hilton members. Not to mention, on-site guests have access to a Precor-equipped fitness center, valet and self parking, and in-room dining. The Curtis also has 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet facilities, including two ballrooms, state-of-the-art A/V equipment, and a business center to cover all your business travel needs.
Bathrooms are supplied with Tarocco from Baronessa Cali bath products and amenities that have a lovely fresh orange scent. The bed was super comfortable, the room was immaculately clean, and inviting.
Our experience during our stay was beyond our expectation. The Curtis also offered us a complimentary welcome tray for a couple of times and personalized notes. That was really sweet of them!

We can't explain how charmed we were with this hotel! It's quaint, eclectic, unique, and a hotel like no other. The service was impeccable, staff did an outstanding job and the accommodation was excellent. My family and I would highly recommend this place to everyone!
So why not come and play at the Curtis – a DoubleTree by Hilton! They guarantee a completely humorous and modern hotel experience in downtown Denver. Rest your bones. Stretch your smile muscles. Stay at The Curtis. And always Stay Happy.
