Sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Beach Vacation $279/N Get 1N Free
Rushing to find a family-welcoming beach that's far away from the oil spill? This sunny part of Florida is a coveted family beach vacation destination, yet once you and your family decide to brush off the sand, there is a lot to explore. Whether you're at the top-value Harbor Beach Marriott Resort or not, there are plenty of recreational activities to choose from, from the great outdoors to world-class shopping.
For the outdoor sportsman -- no matter how active -- there’s plenty of ways to jump into the aquatic scene. A Ft. Lauderdale water taxi, which runs about $10 per person for an all day pass, takes you to the most popular attractions and has a marina pick-up within walking distance from the resort.
If you or your miniature Steve Irwin guru has always been fascinated by animals, such as snakes and of course alligators in the swampy Everglades, high-speed airboat tours allow you to explore this and other natural wildlife residing in their natural habitat. There’s also fishing, boating, and snorkeling at many piers and marinas in Ft. Lauderdale.
For the more indoors type, there are plenty of shopping malls close to the Harbor Beach Marriott resort that any lavish spender or bargain hunter can appreciate. Las Olas Boulevard is a chic yet humble Mecca of specialty stores, artistic boutiques and dining establishments. (Think Rodeo Drive but easier on the wallet and much more charm.) If your strict shopping regime consists solely of quality staples for a fraction of the cost, The Sawgrass Mills, approximately 18 miles from the resort, is the largest outlet mall in the world and features hundreds of inexpensive shopping and dining choices.
To take advantage of all that Ft. Lauerdale has to offer, we suggeste the Harbor Beach Marriot Resort and Spa, filled with luxurious accommodations and pampering spa personnel. They are offering a free night’s stay for every two nights you book with them. Families who spend two nights receive the third night free; beach vcationers who pay for four nights receive their 5th and 6th nights free. This offer -- a 33% savings -- is valid now through December 30, 2010 with nightly rates starting at $279/N. Families will have to pay tax on their free room night.
The resort finished a $25 million dollar renovation earlier this year, transforming rooms and suites into comfortable and relaxing holiday havens that have terraces with an extraordinary view of the ocean, 32-inch flat screen televisions and quality bedding. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of high-speed Internet access, two-lined telephones with message service, data ports, TV with PlayStation capability, in-room safes, individual climate control, a mini-bar and much more. The Resort itself has added cozy seating alcoves -- perfect to enjoy a beverage and an engaging conversation -- lush tropical landscape, expansive fire pits and cabana seating.
Listed in the book “100 Best Spas of the World,” the Spa at Harbor Beach is a 20,000-square-foot seaside sanctuary with 17 indulging treatment rooms, offering European and Asian therapies. Embark on your journey to wellness by dipping in an exclusive spa pool, reflecting in a relaxing sauna and innovative whirlpool, and restoring your relationship with nature in one of their unique eucalyptus steam rooms. After you’ve been rejuvenated by the royal spa treatment, you can use some of your renewed energy at the oceanfront fitness center, a highly acclaimed gym also offering yoga and Pilate’s classes.
For reservations, please call your travel agent or the resort directly at 866/303-0772, or visit their The Harbor Beach Marriot Resort and Spa website and use the promotional code B4F. The offer is good any night of the week for a limited number of rooms and is valid until the end of the year.
