You know that gratification you get when everyone is jealous you are going someplace exclusive? I live for that stuff. When I was telling some colleagues that I was going to spend some quality time at the Phoenician, I got the green-eyed monster staring back at me.
Not to sound like a total snob but this is not the first time I've been to a hoity-toity resort. The service here is five star - everyone is helpful, friendly, and professional. The wine and cheese plate that was sent at turn down service was delicious - they had humbolt fog (my favorite goat cheese ever!)
The landscaping is impeccable. Each leaf is better groomed than I am. Speaking of grooming - I love the Remede products in the bathrooms and lip balm with SPF. They think of everything.
After I arrived in my ridiculously spacious room, I hightailed it to the pool - more specifically that over 18 pool that is a sanctuary from the playful kids splashing and rough-housing all around.
Unfortunately, my fantasy had to come to an end. The moment I left the grounds, I started plotting my next visit.
