Modern ThanksGiving

I haven't actually posted my thanksgiving celebration and I have a load of photos from it. but let me give you a lil background of how we found this nice place.We both decided that we want out thanksgiving to be totally peaceful and just pure relaxing, so we looked for hotels in every hotel sites we know, and we both keep coming across this hotel The Modern on hotels.com, expedia, orbits etc. and its on the most recommended on all those sites so since everything was so last minutes since we were both so busy working, so finally we decided to just give it a try.

So on thanksgiving we packed out bags and went to the hotel, and we were both so please that it turned out just like the picture. Here are the photos we took on our mini vaca.

Right next to the Modern is ilikai hotel, and there's a bridge that wouls lead you the beach.

this is their front desk, pretty artistic, i like all those broken surf board hehe.

and this is the lobby, I like the ambiance, it's really simple the lights are dim and they have a super cute book shelf that serve as a door to something~ I'll tell you about that later.

This is our rooms number, this is another thing that makes the place different, the numbers are written in words instead of numbers, pretty classy.

we tried to get a higher floor with a king but unfortunately because we booked it on the very last minute, we only get to stay on the third which i don't really mind anyway. this is our room, clean very minimalistic.

room service menu book and guide book

we went to the frist floor were the pool is, and this is their lobby.

I like the bohemian style of the furnitures, funny that i actually saw a tag on it that said maid in the philippines O_O,well I guess it's cheaper price and same quality.

this is the pool, I really love the wood floor and those pool bench that's in the pool... I was so excited to use them.

view of the pool from the wooden stairs~ as you can see It's very simple, and you can see a good view of the ocean and people's boats hehe.

there's also an eating are near the pool and a bar.

Shower area.

right next to the pool is the very classy and relaxing resturaunt Morimoto's, yes! he's the guy from iron chef.

I really love the style of it, hubby liked the huge charcoal bowl, he wasnt one for out house now hehe

He think it's perfect for smores with friends.

Now! here's my fave part of the hotel... the private beach bar

so you go up the wooden stairs and you  see this relaxing spot. Lucky me that It's always empty

there's a small pool upstairs ( not really for swimming ) and they put some white sand and plants and cool benches too.

This was taken from my fisheye lens for my iphone, so it's not as capable as my real fisheye lens but anyway this is what the private beach bar looked like.

Another thing that I absolutley love about the place is the beds, there's literally beds everywhere~ i just love it, this is really what we're looking for a place to relax and you pretty much encouraged to relax because there's beds everywhere you go.

These are the benches,and if you looked on the far back you'll see a hamic, and that one the hubby really liked. ^__^

i love the bedssss >__<

see beds on every corner of the pool/hotel and the view is nice too.

just relaxing~ not thinking about anything else but how awesome that day was.

so this is the view form the pool.

remember the book shelf in the lobby~ so this is why it's special, because at night it turns into a door to a bar.

and they have corals for decorations in the bar, it's pretty neat.

MY over all experience was just amazing! I absolutley loved the place, I was actually surprized that it became the perfect place for me to relax and becuase we got it for cheap we didn't expect much from it, but I'm pretty happy we tried it. I would definetly come back here again. ~ maybe christmas ^___^ and valentines day  hehe
