It’s WonderFALL time!

I have never been on a cruise or a Caribbean vacation – but it’s something that’s always been on my list of things that I want to experience at some point during my lifetime. Blue skies, gentle ocean breeze, ocean waves… It sounds wonderful to me, especially the thought of getting away during the colder fall and winter months here in Michigan.

That’s why I was excited to see that Beaches has just announced a unique WonderFALL Celebration at Beaches Resorts, taking place during the off -peak season months of September and October. If you travel between September 1 and November 4, 2008, you can SAVE up to 45% off published rates and get 2 Nights Free (on stays of 7 nights).  And as part of this WonderFALL Celebration, Beaches has a great fall line up of special events and activities.  From Caribbean Adventures with Sesame Street® that includes the premiere of a brand new stage show and a new activity with Abby Cadabby, exclusive Gordon and Elmo live performances and special parenting workshops hosted by Sesame educators, to Dive In Movies, “Baby You’re A Star Photo Contest” (where your little one could win the chance to be featured in the next Beaches’ brochure) and even a celebration for Grandparents, it’s all happening ONLY this FALL at Beaches family resorts!

Beaches resorts sound like the perfect family vacation location to me. Not only do you get to enjoy one of their four Caribbean locations, but the best of everything in a family vacation is included, such as unlimited dining from a variety of gourmet and specialty cuisine restaurants (standard meals included and kids and parents can have access to “anytime snacks” and beverages as well), tennis, golf, state-of-the art fitness centers, snorkeling and scuba diving (with all equipment and instruction included), wading pools for the little kids, awesome Pirate’s Island Waterparks which are sure to keep the big kids entertained, and amazing pools that feature swim-up bars where parents can relax with friends.

When the sun sets families can get together and enjoy nightly entertainment and stage shows or parents can schedule a nanny for the kids, while they enjoy some adult time at the piano bar. At the end of the night everyone can collapse and rest up for the next day in beach side top-notch accommodations, from ocean view and beachfront rooms to lavish one and two bedroom suites, some including personalized Butler Service.  Even roundtrip airport transfers, hotel taxes and all gratuities are included.

Sounds like paradise to me!  And it seems like other moms agree – when Mom Central conducted a nationwide survey this month, they found that of the Moms who had been to Beaches with their families, 100% planned to  return. They reported having a fantastic time, and loved the all-inclusive nature of the resort where you can check your wallet in your room, and relax, play, eat and drink hassle-free. In addition, more than 75% of Moms had no qualms about taking young kids out of school for a unique family vacation so it makes traveling to Beaches Resorts for their WonderFALL celebration a “no brainer”!
