Save on Concerts and Other Gulf Activities

Summer along the Alabama Gulf Coast is an exciting time, and this year is no exception. In addition to the well-known fun of deep sea fishing, golfing along the Gulf, visiting amusement parks and other attractions, several big concerts are scheduled throughout the next few months. Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington, and Uncle Kracker are all scheduled to perform on May 21st, followed by Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top on May 29th, Willie Nelson on June 5th, Def Leppard and Heart on June 19th, and Jason Aldean on July 14th.

There are so many events and activities to choose from, and thanks to Spectrum Resorts you can plan your vacation around them by booking a vacation package with either Turquoise Place or Caribe the Resort. With concert packages, receive up to four free tickets to one of the abovementioned concerts. Or book a package that includes deep sea fishing on the Lady D, golf, or passes to Waterville USA, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, and the Ferris Wheel at The Wharf.

The Beach Club has its own special going on, too. Stay with The Beach Club between May 31st and August 12th and get up to $350 in resort credit. More information is available on the Spectrum Resorts website.

Head to the Gulf and Get Lazy

The whole purpose of a beach getaway is to get away—to escape from work and day-to-day responsibilities—which is why activities like lounging on the beach and by the pool are so popular during a vacation. Floating aimlessly along a lazy river is also an ideal way to spend a relaxing vacation, and guests staying at Turquoise Place and Caribe the Resort will have plenty of opportunity for this type of purposeful laziness.

Given that it’s only the beginning of spring, though, the weather may at times be a little cool for outdoor floating. Fortunately, there are plenty of other ways to kick back and relax.

One of the ultimate relaxing experiences you can indulge in is a massage. Swedish, hot stone, and even scalp massages are some of the spa services offered at the Spectrum Resorts locations. Even better is you can experience these services without leaving your condo if you stay with Turquoise Place, which also offers grocery delivery service for those who would prefer to skip the actual shopping trip.

If pool floating/swimming is an absolute must, The Beach Club and Caribe offer indoor pools. Hot tubs are an excellent choice, particularly on cool days and chilly evenings.
