Crazy Hotel Workers Update: Don't Climb on the Balcony

Tags: , ,

Crazy Hotel Workers stay sane by whining about their life as hotel staff on their huge livejournal site and we never tire of reading it.

This week they mused about the warning signs one hotel is having to put up on new balconies, after a guest climbed on to the railing cables and broke a couple of them. Other Crazy Hotel Workers chimed in with a few good suggestions for the signage, like "Idiots cannot fly or land on their feet". But we think this sign might get the message across more succinctly than the rest:

Do not climb on the railings of the balconies. If you choose to do so and fall, the hotel staff will laugh at your sorry ass while they call an ambulance. You will also be charged triple for the room for being an idiot.

Hotel Maven Jletter so kindly sent us some snapshots of his recent stay at the Las Ventanas al Paraiso Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico.

These were taken from a One-Bedroom Oceanview Luxury Suite which has a private infinity pool and jacuzzi on the terrace. The suite overall totals 1,600 sq. ft. with a king bed, adobe fireplace and your own telescope for star-gazing. Oh yeah, and a steep price tag of around $2,950.

MORE snapshots of the killer suite and view after the jump. Warning: Extreme jealousy will occur.

Add this to both the Sweet Suites category, our growing list of cool Hotel Infinity Pools and our Best Hotel Balconies stories.

This is a shot of the Presidential suite at The Tides Zihuatanejo which has a 435-sq.ft. terrace with its own private infinity pool that overlooks the ocean thus offering up 180-degree views of Zihuatanejo Bay. Overall the suite encompasses 1,465-sq.ft. and has two bedrooms and two baths. More on the suite from the Tides website:

An expansive open-air living area is intricately tiled with marble and inset with natural pebbles and features an over-sized wicker daybed, two comfortable seating areas, a complete wet-bar and a gorgeous private infinity pool with panoramic views of the bay.

Of course, a private infinity pool comes at Forbes 500 prices. The Presidential suite costs $1,150 in the low season to around $1,700 in the high season.

But don't give up hope yet. All suites at the Tides come with their own private infinity pools. The lagoon suite is the smallest of the bunch ranging from 700 to 800-sq.ft. High season prices start at $875 a night and include a private terrace with outdoor infinity pool (a teeny one), a separate sitting area and lagoon views. When we hit it big, we're coming here...in the low season of course.

The Best Hotel Balconies

Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

We always enjoy a good room with a killer view when we check-in to a hotel but sometimes we want more. Sometimes we want to stand outside of our room on a hotel balcony and yell, "I'm not wearing any underwear!" Wait. No, that's Paris Hilton but you get what we are saying. We covet hotel rooms with spacious balconies.

Most of the time, you will have to pony up more money for a suite to get a view and the space to enjoy it. But if money were no object, here are a few places we would check out.

This list is merely a hotel balcony jumping off point (oh, terrible pun) Let us know your favorite hotel balconies here.

The best hotel balconies are here.
