Bella reminded me that we recently hosted a 50th birthday celebration. The partner of the "birthday girl" had asked Bella if we could prepare the Banana suite... the one with the jacuzzi, especially for her partner. It was the dream of the couple to pass this milestone by the sea. We decorated the suite with balloons filled with helium, a sign, beach balls and a tropical red paper parrot. Marilyn, our assistant manager also is a baker and prepared a simple but very flavorful birthday cake... which is featured below.
A recent article in a Washington DC paper suggests that couples are cutting expenses for weddings. You can read it here.
No doubt guests are cost conscious but it does not mean that you can't have an intimate and wonderful, memorable, affordable celebration by the sea. It takes some planning. If you have such an interest the Lemontree is an outstanding value and venue.

I am the girl that partnered up with Bella Jane-the owner of the Lemontree and with their manager, and between the three of us, we threw the best surprise 50th celebration ever for my girlfriend! I am from Ohio, and after the winter we experienced, there was no place else my girlfriend and myself would rather have celebrated her 50th birthday then at the Lemontree. Everyone was so great, and the rooms are just breathtaking! I will recommend this particular beautiful resort to all who are thinking of visiting Puerto Rico. It was our first time in Puerto Rico, and it could not have been more memorable! Thank you Bella Jane, and thank you to her manager for baking the tastiest cake I ever had! The view of the ocean, and the relaxing atmosphere will remain with us forever. 4/23/09
