Concierge Services

Vacation represents a time to get away, not just from your physical location but also from your day-to-day routine. It’s the perfect opportunity to engage in activities you don’t normally get to do and try new things.

But if you’re not familiar with the area you’re visiting, or you simply can’t decide on what to do and what to skip (there isn’t always time for everything), having a little help can be a big advantage, which is what makes the concierge service at Turquoise Place so appealing. This service offers advice and recommendations on dining and entertainment, will set up chairs and umbrellas on the beach for you, and will even have groceries delivered to your condo. You can’t beat the convenience.

Visit the Spectrum Resorts website for more information on this and other amenities.

Family Reunion

I have a rather large family, and getting to visit everyone is pretty much impossible. Not only are there so many relatives, but they’re scattered all over the eastern part of the country.

It’s a situation that many families face these days: travel is expensive and time is limited, making frequent visits to distant family members difficult. Thanks to Facebook and other social sites, keeping in contact on a daily basis is easier, but it’s not the same as seeing someone in person.

This is what makes family reunions so popular—one location, one time, and everyone gets to visit with everyone. Rent out a condo or two with Spectrum resorts and the whole group can be in the same place, spending leisurely time on the beach or at the pool during the day and checking out the dining and nightlife scene of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach in the evening.

The Beach Club offers special group rates. Visit Spectrum’s website for more information.

The In-Between

It’s that transitional time of year again: school is starting and the summer vacation season is winding down, yet it still feels and looks like summer. It’s simply too early to really look forward to fall, but it’s becoming too late to enjoy some of the summer hot spots like pools and water parks, which are already shortening their hours or closing altogether.

It’s not too late, however, to book a vacation with Spectrum Resorts. With the Jump Into Fall Savings deal, guests of Turquoise Place and Caribe the Resort can save up to 42% on fall rates from September 8th to October 31st. And that’s the perfect time to visit Alabama’s Gulf Coast—the weather is still warm, allowing you to enjoy one last beach hurrah before jumping into fall.

Visit Spectrum Resorts for more information about this special.

Making Time for Golf

For many people, vacation is a time to get away from it all, let go of regular day-to-day activities and live more simply for a few days. For golf lovers, vacation is the perfect opportunity to add that extra activity that we so enjoy—it’s our version of ultimate relaxation.

And Alabama’s Gulf Coast has some of the best golf around. Scenic, signature courses provide both beauty and challenge. As an added benefit, if you book a three-night four-day stay at The Beach Club, you can take advantage of the Golf at the Gulf package, which offers 50% off a round of golf at a course of your choice. Relaxed spending equals a relaxed vacation!
