This weekend gets two thumbs up.

As if you needed another reason to revel on Sunday afternoon… introducing blue on blue’s poolside DETOx-RetoX. Get a room on Sunday and treat yourself to a menu of spa-style beverages and hangover cures (that’s DETOx), or indulge in a Bloody Mary or three (or Mimosas - that’s RetoX) and gourmet bar-food (view the menu). Ah, the good life.
