Hipotels Hipocampo Palace & Spa

I'd like to say that everyone working there was amazing. Antonia, Nico, Víctor and all of the reception staff. Hellos and smile rain upon you from the moment you arrive. And then I had the pleasure of meeting Cruella. She was missing the coat of baby dalmatians, but it was her. I'd recognize her anyhere. The Assistant Manager. I've never been treated in such a way in 5 star accommodations. Come to think of it, I've never been treated that way at any hotel. She was rude, childish, and inept to be in the position she is in, but I digress. A young lady and I were sitting at a table, center stage, waiting patiently for the show to begin. We had cocktails, a few smokes and even more laughs. The children danced and we watched. The young lady I was with decided to join the fun. Watching her with the kids and listening to the typical mini-disco songs played a bit too loudly, I pause to smile, as I'm about to enjoy a sip of my vodka, and remember that these moments are the reason I work so hard. The mini-disco ends and we are surrounded by the children. They sit to the left, they sit to our right. Some have infiltrated the table behind us. One even sits with us. It seems their parents are more than happy to have a break from the non-stop job that is parenthood. Bestowing upon us the pleasure of their children's company. The cocktails and laughs continue, but the smokes have been respectfully hidden in my pocket. Another hour slips away from me and I softly kiss her cheek and whisper that I must use the facilities. Taking advantage to smoke as I walk towards the door. I place my back against the wall as to not block anyone's view. I walk in, having field stripped the cherry of the butt, to deposit said butt in the nearest trash can on my way to the wash closet. That's when I hear her voice. Cruella. Angry and hateful. There are ashtrays. I turn and stare into her eyes and show her that the butt is in my hand.
