Then came 2020 – a rollercoaster ride I never expected. Stuck in Miami, I watched as my business plummeted. But in that challenging time, I also gained clarity. I realized I had shelved my own need for love while chasing success. And just like that, fate intervened once more.
I met Antonio right before the pandemic hit – completely shutting down the island. My initial meeting with the award-winning photographer sparked a connection, and like something out of “Love Is Blind,” we spent the next few months getting to know each other solely through messages and video calls. When the island finally reopened, we reunited…and he moved in on our very first date.
From there, life has only gotten better. For the past four years, Antonio’s meticulous eye for detail, passion for wildlife, and kind-hearted nature have transformed the hotel into a true reflection of “us.” He’s taught me that patience is vital, family comes first, and Italian food is the absolute best!
In March 2024, we welcomed our son, Avi. This was my moment to step back and embrace family life. So, I took a seven-month hiatus while my incredible team of twelve ran the hotel with love and dedication. Those months were a precious gift I’ll always cherish.
