A coastal escape is high on the list of many as summer temperatures soar. Marriott is now offering packages great for couples, families and girl friend get-aways. Last year I had an opportunity to enjoy the Aruba Marriott Resort and Stellars Casino. It is a delicious place to get away with a wide beach front playground. Here you can experience wind surfing and other water sports or relax on the sand and enjoy Marriott beach service. If you want private down time you can enjoy the sparkling water view from your ocean front room. This resort is beautiful, relaxing and easy to enjoy.
Aruba Marriott is now offering a TradeWinds Club Honeymoon Package including champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries on arrival. During your stay you will enjoy a couple’s massage, five gourmet meals a day and an open bar from 6-9 p.m. This package is available for travel through Dec 22, 2011. The honeymoon package is priced from $624 per night. To book use the promotional code HZP when calling the Aruba Marriott to book at call 1-800-228-9290.
If you want an extra escape Marriott Aruba Resorts offers regular daily water taxi service to their private Renaissance Island. It’s a must visit and offers families and couples the best of both worlds with separate beaches, privacy, a spa, and an open air restaurant and bar. Kids will love the water activities, including snorkeling, water rafts or kayaks. There are hammocks on both beaches and Iguanas that welcome snacks. The staff on the island will be happy to provide the appropriate Iguana treats for your children or yourself to feed them. It’s an experience to remember to feed the Iguana’s on Marriott’s Renaissance Island.
If you want to stay closer to home consider the SandPearl Resort on Clearwater Beach. This resort offers eco conscious luxury as well as a spa and couples activities. You can try your hand at an organic cooking class, wine tasting or view the stars on astronomy night. This package starts at $299 per night and is available for travel through December, 2011. For reservations call 1-877-726-3111. Clearwater Beach offers a variety of outdoor activities including Dolphin Cruises, Sunset Cruises, and the Clearwater Pier which offers music, art and vendors.

Marriott is offering other Summer Escapes including the St Kitt’s Marriott Resort where you can book the Sand Dollar Package at $204 a night, for three nights and receive the fourth night free as well as two complimentary breakfasts each day. The St. Kitt’s Marriott is one of my favorites. They offer three pools, a swim up bar, morning yoga, Calypso music and excellent service. This package is available for travel until Nov 30, 2011. To reserve use the promotional code S29 at www.stkittsmarriott.com
St. Kitts offers adventure, relaxation and a laid back island vibe. Locals welcome you to their island and show you how to embrace island limin. From beach bars to zip lining, and world heritage sites, St. Kitts offers a beautiful escape that you and your family will remember long after your home.
