Costa Rica 2024
Costa Rica was everything and so much more!!!
We are incredibly grateful for the amazing time the group had in the middle of the rainforest in Central America. The 6th Anniversary of Black Excellence Beach Weekend definitely didn’t disappoint and it exceeded all expectations! For this trip, the group traveled to Costa Rica where Dreams Las Mareas Resort & Spa was the host hotel. Over 570 people attended the special event which was 85% of the hotel’s occupancy for the weekend. The resort takeover was real and it was so much Black Excellence!
As always, the events were such a great time. The “Welcome to Costa Rica” Party in the ballroom was dope and the group performed the largest “Tamia Slide” in Central America history. Even though most people couldn’t get all the steps right, haha! The BEBW Pool Party was legendary and will go down as one of the best pool parties ever…clearly, no debating! The vibes were incredible and the rain didn’t stop the fun at all. It actually enhanced the turn up and made the party much more epic. You just had to be there!
Also, the Sunset Kickback was such a fun time. The R&B theme is always a group favorite but when the music switched up, the crowd went crazy. Imagine 500+ people screaming, “It’s 7pm on Friday, 95 degrees…” The energy was insane! Definitely a highlight of the weekend along with the Beach Party. The staff said they never saw anything like it as people were in the ocean, on the beach and in the pool. The weather was perfect this day and the Costa Rica heat hit different. But the water was a great way to cool off and the sunset views were breathtaking!
Lastly, this trip was made special by the greatest event in BEBW history: the Black Excellence Gala/Karaoke Night. This was the most lit formal gala of all time and the turn up was legendary. Everyone came dress to impress while on vacation and the positive energy was on full display. Group members looked good, ate good, drank good and partied the night away. Even when we transitioned to karaoke, the party kept going and everyone turned up even more. People legit put on performances and the crowd sang at the top of their lungs. It was amazing!!!
Black Excellence Beach Weekend 2024 was top 2 best groups trips of all time. It was that much fun and the events were all next level. Not to mention the overall beauty of the rainforest and how peaceful it was being in nature. Even with the insects, monkeys and raccoons, haha! But in all seriousness, these group trips are such a blessing and the plan is to continue them for years to come. They just keep getting bigger and better. With this said, we hope to see everyone next summer. Black Excellence Beach Weekend 2025 is going down! Until then…Peace, Love, and Black Excellence! #BEBW2024
