Blog : Goldie Locks and the 3 Marriott’s

Once upon a time not very long ago (actually only about 27 hours ago), in a land about 15 minutes (by plane) from Venezuela, Lived a girl named Goldie Locks…(by lived I mean visited for 6 nights and by Goldie Locks I mean Jessica).  Goldie Locks was just like any other girl from Queens, NY she was visiting Aruba with her Prince Charming for their Honeymoon, and she couldn't be happier.  She and her new Hubbie boarded their horse driven chariot or,  Taxi as the locals here in Aruba call it, to take them to their castle…dreams of Strawberry Daiquiris and white sandy beaches filled their head as the drove up to the Marriott property.  To their surprise their were 3 Marriott's all in a row!
“Which one was theirs?” asked Jessica…I mean Goldie
“Which one was the nicest?” asked Andrew…I mean Price Charming
The driver told them that their castle was the best, and went on to explain that the Marriott Surf Club was the newest of the three properties and was the best of all three, actually it was brand new it was only built 2 years ago…The new couple had always shared the belief that newer was better and brand new was down right the best!  The happy couple checked into their new home for the next 6 days, and started to realize their “brand new” castle was nothing more than a scam.  Their room was nothing like what was promised in fact the type of room they had didn't even appear on the Marriott website, which one can only assume means that Marriott was embarrassed by it.  Problem after problem came up in a very short period of time and the couple wanted things to change they would have to face the Evil Dragon or “Front Desk Supervisor” as the Marriott here in Aruba calls her.   The Evil Dragon, was big and mean, and full of attitude.  She lures her pray with false promises and then EATS them…OK, she doesn't eat them per-say, but she doesn't come through with what she promised, and she is quite rude, which in this couples opinion is just as bad!
Fed up with what was happening in their castle, the couple wondered off to the next Marriott in the row, The Marriott Ocean Club.  The two agreed that this one was nicer…It had lots of stores in the lobby and seemed to be free of an Evil Dragon…it was nicer then their hotel, even though it was a few years older than the property they were staying at.  As they left the Ocean Club they saw a glimmer of light in the far off distance. They followed the light and came to the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino.  It was beautiful, the couple was aw-stricken.  It had everything, 5 wonderful restaurants including a Ruth Chris Steak House, a beautifully designed lobby that looked as though it belonged in Miami Magazine, a casino that was open 24 hours a day, tons and tons of stores, and the best part of all a gellatto shop…there was a gellatto shop!  Goldie Locks couldn't believe her eyes, she had a lot of favorite foods, but if she had to pick one, gellatto would certainly be it…The couple couldn't believe their eyes this hotel was the oldest of the three, but the nicest by far!  It was gorgeous!  It was everything they wanted in a castle and more!  The two went over to Alvinino ( a short Arubian gay man, that resembled a chipmunk) and told him their story of woe.  Alvinino or “Our Hero” as the couple would call them from that moment forward, sprung into action.  He ran to the Marriott Surf Club and killed the Evil dragon…OK by killed we mean checked us out of our gross hotel and give us a great rate at the most beautiful Marriott of all…The Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino.   The couple lived happily ever after…for the next five days anyway…The End…
