It was a terrific hotel for many years, great location, great beach,
nice rooms.

Well, the beach is still there, and it lives on, as the screen

Yes...those are boats way way way in the background.


I left my wife sunning around the pool at the Sheraton Bal Harbour while
I made a business call. By the time I came back, she had discovered
that the Cabana Boys will bring Pina Coladas right to your lounge, you
don't even have to get up, or even pay for them, all they wanted was a
signature.

She also discovered that pineapples make you very sleepy and will give
you a headache when you wake up.



Yep. They would and they did. I think I stayed at that hotel at least 15
times, sometimes twice a year.
