Guess what, everyone? I couldn’t resist the allure of the Hamptons, and this time, I had the pleasure of returning with my fiancé in tow. Our journey brought us to the stylish and serene Solé East Resort, promising a weekend of relaxation.
As we arrived in the afternoon, we decided to kick off our stay with a bit of fun. We headed to Bounce in Montauk, a vibrant spot perfect for unwinding right in front of the ocean. With bang bang shrimp and refreshing drinks in hand, we soaked in the laid-back atmosphere before heading to dinner.
For dinner, we made our way to iconic Nick and Toni’s in East Hampton, a staple known for its Italian cuisine and warm ambiance. My fiancé and I shared pasta and pork chops and finished off with the famous tartufo.
The next day adventure called, and we answered. Our friends rented a pontoon, and we set sail for Shelter Island. Shelter Island is a charming island located between the North and South forks of Long Island. It was the perfect day to jump in the water and go swimming. But that wasn’t all. The party pontoon had a surprise in store — Seabobs! These cool underwater scooters allowed us to glide effortlessly through the water, going in circles around the boat.
As our weekend neared its end on Sunday, we decided to embark on a refreshing hike through scenic Shadmoor State Park in Montauk. This leisurely one-hour trek not only allowed us to get our steps in but also treated us to ocean views along the way. The path led us to stunning Ditch Plains Beach, a popular spot for surfers.
We made our way to Si Si, a charming waterfront Mediterranean restaurant nestled in EHP Resort & Marina, offering picturesque views of Maidstone Harbor Marina. Brunch here was the perfect finale to our weekend.
Our summer of 2023 is far from over. Join me in my next blog as we embark on a European vacation, continuing our quest in Germany and France!

One of Paris’ most elegant addresses has reopened following a full renovation. Hôtel de Sers, part of the B Signature Hotels & Resorts portfolio, was once the private mansion of Henri-Léopold Charles, Marquis de Sers. Located within the illustrious Triangle d’Or, close to the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne, the property’s refined décor and original Haussmannian architectural elements have been carefully preserved. These include a spectacular marble staircase and the structure’s original carriage entrance, along with period features such as wrought-iron details and magnificent moldings and ceilings of the original salon de réception.

Jul 16, 2025Hotel Saint Augustine Review
Blending with its Montrose neighborhood like the indigenous and cultivated plants hugging the property’s walkways, the newly built Hotel Saint Augustine opened mid-January 2025. The first Bunkhouse hotel in Houston, Texas, is easily mistaken for garden apartments. Seventy-one guest rooms and suites encompass a tree-lined block. The hotel’s buildings are only two stories tall and also house a lobby, lounge, restaurant and event space. Tucked into a corner of the grounds sits a circular outdoor pool.
