My beautiful girlfriend Anna and I recently took a trip to South Beach Miami and wanted to share a bit of why we loved it so much! Part of what makes a vacation amazing is the accommodations. So where does a lesbian couple stay on vacation if they want to be in the heart of everything and have an ocean view suite with a romantic Jacuzzi tub? Well I’m sure there are tons of great hotels, but what we found in the Colony Hotel Miami South Beach was exactly what we were looking for on this vacation.

When we arrived we found the art deco lobby and bar a fun setting with an old school elevator that was a total trip! It had the accordion type metal bars inside this gigantic heavy metal door. Almost like a flash back to 1930's upon entry!

We stayed in the Paradiso, an Ocean Front Suite with an amazing view. When we walked into the room we literally cheered! I ran around giggling and pointing like a little girl who just found out that barbie was actually a lesbian!

The modern room was decorated in whites and chocolates, just how I like it. The floor-plan was open with the perfect ocean view from both the bedroom and the front sittingroom. Flat screen tv’s are always a nice touch, as were the French doors separating the two rooms.

The bathroom had a nice sized Jacuzzi tub with jets galore! ;) The only thing that didn’t work was the mini-fridge…but we are creative and figured out a work around.

We stayed at the Colony for two nights and literally only left the room to eat. We slept, took baths in the wonderful Jacuzzi tub, enjoyed people watching from our kick-ass view (women playing volleyball on the beach in bikinis was a plus) while sipping coffee in our huge California king bed.

It was so nice to really feel on vacation.

I loved that the hotel was remodeled with an Art Deco feel yet still kept some of the incredibly charming touches like the elevator and the famous blue neon sign. A nice reminder of the original 1930’s hotel.
