Ngaba uye wakha wazibuza ukuba kuya kuthini ukuhamba kwihotele yaseVictoria emva kokuba yakhiwe, xa bonke ubungangamsha bebuhle kunye nomtsha omtsha? Ngoku unako, kwi-Ocean House e-Hill Hill, kummandla ogwini kufuphi naseWestterly, e-Rhode Island.
Ekuqaleni eyakhiwe ngo-1868, i-Ocean House yayiyinxweme elwandle elwandle olubanzi apho kwakukho iintsapho ezivela kwisixeko saseNew York, eBoston naseFiladelphia. Uzuko lwalo lweentsuku kude, i-Ocean House yayifanele ivalwe ngo-2003 emva kokuba imimiselo yomlilo ishintshile.
Abatyalomali abanotyebi (abaphilipheli bangamazwi angcono kulo mzekelo) bathemba ukubuyisela ihotele, kodwa bekude kakhulu ukulungiswa.
Ngoko bawacoca ngokucophelela iinkcukacha zobungcali ukusuka ngaphakathi, bahlala benyanisekile ngaphandle, bachitha ihotele. Oko kwenyuka endaweni yayo kukuphindaphinda okubonakalayo - njengento yokuqala, kungcono. Amagumbi ayo angama-49 angamenywa aphezulu kwaye ayenayo yonke iindawo ezihamba phambili ezihamba phambili. Kuthatha iminyaka emihlanu kwaye, i-gulp, i-146 million yezigidi. Ngoku ipropati yeRelais & Chateaux ukuba wonke umntu onokukwazi, kufuneka atyelele.
Kwakhona wakha ii-23 zokuhlala ezizimeleyo, ezikhoyo ukuthengiswa okanye ukuqesha, njengenxalenye yehotele. I-Ocean House isenokufikelela okulula ukusuka eBoston naseNew York City, ngesitimela, kwaye ixesha eliphakamileyo kuselihlobo. Kodwa kuvulekileyo unyaka wonke, kwaye kukho okwaneleyo ukwenza ukuba kube yindlela yokubalekela yothando naliphi ixesha lonyaka.
Enye yeengqungquthela zendlu ye-Ocean House kukuba iyakuthetha isitayela sama-Victori kwinkonzo yayo.
Xa ndavula umnyango egumbini lam, ipakethe ye-scones eyenziwe ekhaya kunye ne-citron elimnandi i-lemon yayilindile, ngeleta eyamkelekileyo eyayibhekiswe kuyo, "u-Anitra Brown, # 303, ehlala kuyo". Kwakwenza ndive ngathi ndifanele ndiphumle emva kohambo lwam, kwaye le nto yayiza kuba yindlu yam iintsuku ezimbalwa.
Igumbi linomdla wamaVictoria, kunye nobuchule obuqilileyo njengelitye eliphambili lomthi.

Ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka usebenzise ixesha lokuhlamba, kwaye unokutsala iifestile ukuze uhlambe luvule egumbini, elinye lihlaziye. Into engavamile, nangona kunjalo, yinto yokuba kukho ibhotile yamanzi, i-sodas, kunye nokutya okutya-kwaye unako ukubenzela mahhala! Kwaye xa uzama ukuphosa abasebenzi, bathi bafakiwe kwiimali zakho zokubhenela.
OH! Spa = uLwandle kunye noVuna
Ndaya khona ukuba ndihlole OH! I-Spa, i-spa ye-12,000 yeenyawo zeenyawo ezineendawo zokurhweba ezisixhenxe kunye neendawo ezintle zokuphucula emva kokonyango. I-louise lounges ikhangele ulwandle, ngoko unako ukubeka kwakhona kwaye ujabulele umbono. Kuphantse kufana nokuba kuluhlu lwamanzi olwandle.
O ume kunye noH umela ukuvuna (ke ngoko i-OH!) Kwaye ezo zinto zimbonakaliswe kwimigca abasebenzisayo, njengePhytomer kunye ne-Ocean, zombini ezenziwe ngezithako zasolwandle, kunye ne-Farmaesthetics, umgca wendalo osebenzisa izityalo, iintyatyambo, iinkozo kunye iioli kunye nokuzama ukugcina iikhemikhali ubuncinci.

Oku kwenziwa eninzi, kodwa akusiyo yonke imizimba yazo. Wabeka amaconsi ambalwa ngengubo kwaye wayifakela phantsi kwendawo yokulala-into ethandekayo engazange ndiyibone ngaphambili. Ngokuqhelekileyo ugqirha ubamba izandla phantsi kwempumlo yakho ngexeshana ezimbalwa. Kwakuyioli ephezulu, kwaye kunye nexesha elingaphezulu lokunyusa, ndinezinto ezininzi kwiinkqubo zam.
Ukucola okujulileyo ukuhlambalaza
Ukuxilisa kwaqala ngebhodi elifudumalayo lokufudumala emlenzeni wam, ngelixa ugqirha, uRoberta, wasebenza emilenzeni yam. Ingqwalasela ephambili yale massage yayiyimbuyiselo yam, intamo kunye namagxa, apho kwakukho ukuxilwa kwamathambo enzulu . Umnxeba wawucacile kwaye ukhulula emacaleni nasemilenzeni yam, njengento yokusilalisa eSweden . Ndanditshintsha ngethuba lokuba ndibuyele emlenzeni wam, kodwa kubonakala ngathi ndikhumbula ezinye iilumlilo ezifudumeleyo ezinyaweni zam. Oku kuluhlaza okukhulu, kwaye omnye wabo owaziwayo.

Ndiyithande iimveliso zePhytomer kwi-Treasures ebusweni beLwandle kunye nelokuba umgulisi wandinika isandla esesabekayo, ingalo neenyawo. (Ndadlula kwiindawo ezinobushushu bamandla kagesi.) Kodwa wayeyicala lokubulala i-massage kuqala kwaye ndandicinga ukuba i-massage yakhe ebusweni yayingekho kwinqanaba le-istician ephezulu. Mhlawumbi ndiza kubuza umntu owayengowesiqhelo se-esthetician kuphela, okanye wayeziva ukuba amandla akhe angundoqo. Akunqabile ukuba ulungele ngokulinganayo kwi-massage kunye ne-facials, kwaye kukho nababini ababelapha apha. Inika kwakhona unyango lomzimba usebenzisa i-Red Flower imikhiqizo, ekhangayo.

Kungenzeka kube kukunambitha kunye ne-sommelier (i-steward yewayini), iklasi yokwenza amaminerali, i-cheese ukunambitha, ityelelo ekhokelwayo ye-Ocean House (ikhuthazwa kakhulu).
