Big Bird - Joining The Rest Of The Gang At Beaches

                                        

Starting August 22nd, Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa and Beaches Negril Resort & Spa will welcome Big Bird!!  

Children of all ages love Sesame Street. I must admit I get excited when I’m at a Beaches Resort and I spot one of the characters; I guess it doesn’t matter how old you are, I still adore all of the characters but what I love the most is seeing the excitement and the joy on the children’s faces when they see their favorite character and when they are participating in one the Sesame Street themed activities, it’s priceless. 

Beaches Resorts are a proud sponsor of Sesame Street. Beaches Resorts are located in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos and they are the only Caribbean destinations where you’ll find a colorful cast of characters including, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe, Bert and Ernie, Abby Cadabby, The Count, and coming this fall…BIG BIRD!!! 

Big Bird was the first Muppet to appear on Sesame Street, and from the very beginning, he has observed the world with wide-eyed enjoyment and asked a steady stream of questions at every step of the way. We are very excited to welcome Big Bird to Beaches Resorts! 

Cheers, 

Gina

Grand Opening - Beaches Turks & Caicos

 

Hello Canada, 

A few weeks ago Hollywood headed to the Caribbean as Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages & Spa celebrated the official Grand Opening of its new, all suite resort expansion – the Italian Village and enhanced Pirates Island Water Park. Beaches Resorts, voted the World’s Best Family Resorts 11 years in a row, hosted a four day getaway filled with parties, special events, music, live performances and of course, lots of fun in the sun! The Grand Opening Celebration was host to Hollywoods hottest celebs, including Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli, Jenna Elfman, Cheryl Hines, Bethenny Frankel, Jason Mesnick and Molly Melaney, Debi Mazar, Robert Buckly, Joey Fatone, Lou Ferrigno, Catherine Bell, Elizabeth Rohm and many more.
I asked one of our top agents, John Wood to send me back his feedback of the resort and of the Grand Opening and here is what he had to say: :
 Describe your experience of the grand opening event and how it compares to others you have been to:
“The grand opening was spectacular, truly done with style and elegance. The fire-works were impressive to say the least, a fabulous finale.
The number and stature of dignitaries that took the time to attend the event shows how critical the Stewart's and their team are to the economies of the Caribbean. Certainly I have never attended an event anywhere with such an esteemed attendee list.
I was honoured to have been invited’. 
 What was your favorite part of the event?
“My favourite part of the event was when Beaches was recognized as a six star”. 
Describe your experience of Beaches Turks & Caicos:
“The venue is breathtaking, the water practically glows.
Service, food, activities, attention to detail Beaches Turks has it all. This is one of the few resorts that my wife would like to go back to....she's kind of fussy.
As a mature couple we don't normally stay at family resorts. The thoughtful way in which the resort is designed truly permits the typical adult only type client to enjoy the property. 
-We had a blast in the waterpark
-I played Xbox 360 both in the room and at the location set up in the Waterpark area.
-We ate at the 50's style restaurant several times...and it's sure kids focussed.
 
The rooms in the Italian Village are spectacular. The furnishings, design, layout, view ...everything about them is flawless and luxurious. You can't help but relax and feel spoiled rotten. 
My idea of a dream vacation”!!!!!
John Wood is the owner of Durham Travel and he is our number one Royal Plantation agent in Canada! He is very well travelled so receiving his feedback meant a lot to me.
Next week many of you will be going on the fam to visit this property, please be sure you send me your comments. If anyone else has ever experienced a Beaches Resort send me your thoughts and comments.  
Remember the more comments you post the more chances you have of winning a 4 night trip to a Sandals or a Beaches Resort.
Congratulations to Monica Hill!! Monica’s name was drawn for the month of May and now she has the difficult task of choosing a resort to go to for four nights. Congrats!!
I will be on vacation until June 24 and I will not be posting anything until I return. 
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Gina

Celeb Sighting!!!

 

Hello Canada,

Another post coming to you from Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa! The other day I had the pleasure of running into Daniel Alfredson. For those of you who are not familiar with this name he is one of the best hockey players in the NHL and Captain of The Ottawa Senators Hockey Team. This was a real pleasure for me as I was born and raised in Ottawa and I am a true Sens fan, needless to say I was very excited to meet him. Daniel Alfredson and his family really enjoyed their stay; he told me that the two weeks they spent here went by too quickly and they did not want to leave.  He also mentioned that he is definitely going to come back as he was thoroughly impressed with the resort and the service he received; he had a suite with butler service and we all know what a benefit that is.

By the way...Have any of you had the pleasure of experiencing "Our" BUTLER SERVICE? Have you sold a butler suite to your clients? If you have, please let me know your or your clients experience. Our BUTLERS are trained in accordance to the exacting standards by the Guild of Professional English Butlers, which provides butlers to nobility and celebrities worldwide. When it comes to our butler service our motto is "Maximum Service, Minimum Intrusion".

The next time you are working on a Sandals or Beaches booking remind your clients about the personal butler service, paint the picture of the experience and tell your clients that actual celebrities (we have a long list of names from Jessica Simpson, Tori Spelling and N’SYNC just to name a few) stay at our properties; this will confirm to them that they are going to a true LUXURY RESORT. Remember celebrities can afford to go anywhere in the world and they choose to vacation at our resorts, to me that speaks volumes and it is a sure way to close a sale!

Happy Selling!!!

Gina
