With magnificent, sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico and oversized fully equipped suites; Alden Suites Beachfront Resort delivers vacation “wows” unlike any other on St. Pete Beach. We immediately fell in love with our suite, stunning water view, white sand, translucent water, bright blue sky and all the water sports available on site. This girl could have stayed for ever. Alden Suites can easily become our traditional family vacation destination. It’s a short drive away from home, but truly feels like a whole new world.

Pina Colada Slulshie and a weekend getaway

While enjoying the stunning views and warm weather we ate and drank anything and everything that reminded us of tropical living. That’s what happens when you’re staying in a beachfront resort. Right? One of the drinks we enjoyed the most was a good Piña Colada from the Cabana Bar. I can’t help but asking for a piña colada when I’m enjoying time by the water. Today I want to share with you my take on this tropical drink by making some Piña Colada Slushies. I’ll also share some amazing shots from out weekend getaway and wait for it there’s more ….. a giveaway! Yes, you read right. We are giving away a two night stay at Alden Suites! YAY!

Alden Suites hosted us for a blogger event and it was the perfect way to discover all that this beautiful beachfront resort has to offer. Our weekend started with a fun cocktail party on a beautiful lawn space. While we took lots of pictures, we also sampled delicious local seafood from Snappers Sea Grill and sipped on Strawberry Tequila Sunrises right from the Alden’s mobile bar cart thanks to Chris. He’s amazing, look him up at the Cabana Bar.

You can’t be on the west coast without taking some time to enjoy the most beautiful sunsets you could ever see. Suncoast Watersports treated us to a sunset cruise. It was magical.

Suncoast Watersports also offer parasailing, paddle boarding, jet skying and more. We managed to see pods of dolphins and a sea turtle. Truly breathtaking!

On the following day we took a tour of the Alden Suites and checked out all the different suites. Some of the favorite were the newly remodeled Bungalow’s which are the little luxurious cottages with lots of space to spread out.
