Please read part 1, Falling in love with pretty eyes from afar , first! Reading the first free part will help you better understand the story. Enjoy this episode and let me know what you think in the comments.😎😊 Lucy stretched out her arms and yawned. She wiped her eyes. Her warm bed no longer felt comfortable to lie in. She reached out an arm and struggled to find her glasses on the blue nightstand located right next to her bed. The sound of her books falling onto the floor echoed in her quiet room. It took a few minutes before she finally felt the familiar frame of her glasses. Two legs simultaneously swung out of bed. " I guess I am back in this world." Lucy sighed to herself and went to brush her teeth. She was used to putting herself on autopilo...
The New Radisson Hotel Paramaribo: Juicy Salmon, Best Cheesecake, and Bathroom Surprises? 🏨✨
Hey everyone, Shachem here from Story Time Production! 🎥✨
First off, I owe you guys a huge apology! 🙈 I know I’m a bit late with this story, but as you’ve read in my previous episodes, I’m currently on a massive content sprint trying to catch up with my backlog. The hustle is real, but the stories are too good to keep in the vault! 🏃♀️💨
Back in January, a friend and I decided to check out the newly opened Radisson Hotel Paramaribo. For the locals and regulars, you know this used to be the iconic Hotel Krasnapolsky. It’s had a major rebrand, but is it actually the best hotel in Paramaribo right now? Well... let’s get into the tea. ☕️
First Impressions: Maintenance Mode 🛠️
Walking into the lobby, it was clear that the transition from Krasnapolsky to Radisson is still a work in progress. Maintenance was visible everywhere you looked. To be honest, the hotel service felt a bit shaky—the staff didn't quite seem prepared or used to receiving guests yet. 🏨💨
The Bathroom Incident 🛑
Now, I’m all for a modern vibe, but this was too much. I headed to the ladies' room and was shocked to find a group of construction men inside. It was super uncomfortable, especially since one of them wouldn't stop staring at my body like a total pervert. 🙄 Definitely not the "premium hospitality" experience you’d expect, and a major mood killer for the day.
The "Swimming Pass" Experience 🏊♀️🐟
Despite the awkward start, we were there for the Radisson Pool Day Pass. Now, by Surinamese standards, this isn’t exactly "cheap," but it falls within the average price range of other luxury hotels in Suriname, like Torarica or Marriott.
The Deal:
For $18 USD, you get a full day pass to use the swimming pool and your choice of a meal (like a juicy hamburger or nuggets). 🍔 There was some confusion at first about whether fries were included in the deal—but after some back-and-forth, they confirmed they are! 🍟🙌
The Culinary Highlights:
The Pool: Standing under the jet rays was pure therapy. Best way to relax in the city! 💦
The Juicy Salmon: Seriously, it was cooked to perfection. 🍽️
The Cheesecake: Okay, listen to me—this was easily the best cheesecake in Suriname I’ve had so far. It almost made me forget about the construction crew. Almost. 🍰🤤
Final Verdict ✨
The Radisson Hotel Paramaribo definitely has some growing pains to work through regarding guest privacy and staff training. However, if you want that average luxury experience with a killer meal, the $18 pass is a solid choice for a staycation in Suriname. Just a pro-tip: maybe peek into the bathroom before you walk all the way in! 🚪👀
