Discount Rates at South Seas Resort and Yacht Harbour
Sometimes to stay at the nice places, we have wait until disaster strikes and discounts are offered to reward our heroic efforts for staying in a hotel surrounded by construction. Hey, we aren't above this and the New York Times isn't either.
The paper recently checked in and out of the South Seas Island Resort & Yacht Harbour. Sounds fancy (especially with the snooty spelling of harboUr) but the thing is, the peninsula where the resort lies was devastated by Hurricane Charley about a year and a half ago, leaving most of the area under construction.
Due to the destruction, $140 million in renovations was put in, and an amount like that can't really fail. The resort offers all sorts of Villa options, a golf course, and of course that damn yacht harbour.
Here's a peak into a villa from the Times:
The living room, decorated with white wicker furniture and tasteful tropical curtains, had a television, as did the first-floor master bedroom, which also had a VCR. Though the two bathrooms were not new, they were clean and stocked with an array of Tarocco citrus bath products.
Although this description sounds as bland as a plain scone and motel coffee, the verdict is, we check out a lot of hotels and we jump when we hear "25% discount rate." For $129 per night in a beach villa, we're already packing our swimsuits.
