CubanFest This Weekend!

This weekend, Cubanfest takes place on the island. From Friday to Sunday, the 23rd to 25th, we will celebrate Cuban influence in Key West.

This is the 9th year of the celebration, which was established to preserve Key West’s Cuban history. After Cuba’s war of independence from Spain in 1968, thousands of Cuban emigrants fled to freedom in Key West, causing a population surge on our tiny island. With the Cubans came cigar-making, Cuban bread, Cuban architecture, cafĂ© con leche, Latin music – and of course - the roosters.

Activities for the celebration include a Coast to Coast Conga Line on Friday, followed by a Latin Dance Party, a Cigar Dinner, fishing tournaments, and food festivals. Visit the web site here for more information.

Stay with us at Beachside during CubanFest! Our luxurious accommodations are centrally located, so that you can experience all that Key West has to offer! Click here to visit our web site.

Another Beautiful Wedding.....

As our regular readers know by now, we love it when we get mail!  At Beachside, we strive to accommodate the requests of each of our guests.  A recent bride at Beachside Key West, Rachel, wrote us the following letter regarding her wedding day:

Carina,

I wanted to thank you for making my wedding day PERFECT!   The food was wonderful, your staff was incredible, everything was so organized.  I wouldn't have changed a thing.  If you ever need to use me as a referral for a future client, I would be happy to sing your praises.  

I would also like to send a letter to your General Manager, if you could forward me the name, I would appreciate it.  Thanks again for all of your help.   I have attached one photo that my friend took, I will send you another once I get them from Gail.

Best Regards,

Rachel Paul, Collections Etc.

Another Happy Beachside Visitor

How exciting!!! We love it when we send happy visitors back home….We love it even more when they write about it!

One of our newest friends, Libba Young, of The Love, Music, Wine & Revolution Blog just reviewed Beachside, after staying with us for four days in Key West. Check out her blog and the Beachside review here.

Compliments to the Tavern 'n' Town Chefs!

We wanted to share a note that came from our friends (and guests), the Zolnas. They wrote us giving us the following accolades:

Thank you for the additional copies of Nectar, and all your special attention to our needs these past two weeks. It’s been fabulous!

We’ve really enjoyed our meals at Tavern ‘n’ Town and are looking forward to dinner tonight along with some of our local friends whom we’ve invited to join us. It’s been really special having such easy access to your world-class chef, Norman, and his pastry-chef son, Justin; both were kind enough to favor us with autographs (!) and very cordially spent a little time chatting. (Well, you know Bruce…if he wants to chat, you chat!)

Weddings at Beachside Resort

We wanted to share a link to a fellow Key West blogger, Emilie Sommer of Emilie Inc. photography.  Emilie was the photographer at a recent wedding held here at Beachside Resort.   

Lyndsay and Andrew, the bride and groom from Baltimore, arrived in Key West to find their scheduled venue still under construction!  What a pre-wedding nightmare! Luckily for Lyndsay and Andrew, Beachside Resort was happy to help....We were able to step in and host.  Other vendors for the wedding included: Blue Party Productions, Key West Cakes flowers, Mama Flowers, BBJ Linens, Venus Bridal and Robin Kaplan, harpist.  The wedding was officiated by Aaron Wechter.

Click here to see the gorgeous pictures Emilie took featuring Lydsay, Andrew, their families and the Beachside Key West resort!  Let us host your Key West wedding at Beachside Resort!
