 Caribe Resort Lazy River Can you just imagine it? A brightly-colored inner tube. Swimsuit. Sunglasses. And a leisurely float on a warm summer day. The lazy river. The name captures it all.
Don’t settle for just imaging it. Come experience the fun in person when you stay with Spectrum Resorts.
Your life is busy enough. You’ve got work, home, kids, errands – there is never enough time to get everything done. You rush from one task to the next. Where’s the joy in that hectic pace?
Don’t you just want to escape and be lazy for a few days? You know… no schedule, no rush, no deadlines… paradise.
Instead of creeping to work in slow moving traffic, frustration growing by the minute, how about floating slowly on a winding river, the summer sun shining down, happiness growing by the minute.
 Turquoise Place Lazy River In addition to a relaxing float on the lazy river, you can unwind at one of our pools or in the spa, where those tense muscles will surrender.
With your spirit revived you can pick up the pace with tennis, golf or maybe some shopping. Or if you like, the pace can stay lazy all vacation long. With our full service, upscale resort accommodations and amenities, you can enjoy a complete vacation experience without ever leaving the resort.

The concept of a brunch has always intrigued me. Even the word “brunch” strikes me as something special, something elegant and, knowing that The Beach Club in Gulf Shores is offering a Mother’s Day brunch, something perfect for Mom.
The resort’s Southbeach Bar & Grill is presenting a savory brunch buffet for Mother’s Day. For $24.95 (and $9.95 per child age 5 to 12), guests can have their choice of various salads, side dishes like roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini and yellow squash casserole, Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes, various meats and seafood, and of course a dessert table. And to really make Mom—and her youngsters—feel special, children will get the chance to pick a flower from the floral shop to give to their mom.
It’s a great opportunity to spend some time with Mom on her special day and eat some delicious food. Call 251-224-3600 for reservations, and click here to view the full menu.
I know many people who stress when it comes to buying gifts for people. Mother’s Day is no exception, and for good reason—it’s Mom, after all. She deserves something spectacular.
In all likelihood, Mom probably wants to celebrate the very thing that defines her motherhood—family. This is where the special Mother’s Day deals being offered by Turquoise Place, Caribe, and The Beach Club come in handy. Turquoise Place and Caribe are offering 40% off stays between May 5th and 12th, a free spa service at Sirena del Sol, and a scrapbooking kit. The Beach Club is offering two- and three-night packages, also with a free spa service and scrapbooking kit, as well as a $25 resort credit for a two-night stay and a $50 resort credit for a three-night stay.
The nice thing about a gift like this is that the whole family can enjoy it. (Although to emphasize the point that it’s a Mother’s Day gift, you should probably let Mom enjoy the free spa service and resort credit.)

There are two reasons why I’m excited about the weekend of April 23rd to the 25th. First, it’s the 26th Annual Interstate Mullet Toss & Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party. And a great beach party it is—lots of food, activity and, of course, mullet tossing.
The other reason is the incredible deal Spectrum Resorts is offering for that weekend: 40% off the cost of a rental at Turquoise Place or Caribe Resort plus eight cab vouchers. Saving a significant amount of money is always a bonus, but the cab vouchers are the icing on the cake—peace of mind concerning safe partying is essential for a successful weekend of revelry.
The Mullet Toss weekend isn’t the only hot deal Spectrum is offering in April. Anyone bringing kids to Turquoise Place or Caribe will also make out like a bandit this month. The more kids you bring, the more money you save. Learn more about this and other deals here.
When I’m vacationing at a resort, I want a unique experience. I want nice, clean lodging; a scenic view; fun and/or relaxing activities (that I don’t get to do at home); and good food.
The food is a very important part of the whole experience. And being “good” food isn’t the only make-or-break factor. Atmosphere is important, as are choices—I could be eating the best shrimp and lobster in town, but if the restaurant is anything but charming, I’m likely going to feel the urge to ditch the food and leave.
The Beach Club in Gulf Shores definitely presents options: two restaurants, two bars, a pool-side grill, and an old-fashioned soda fountain and coffee house. There’s nothing boring about these selections. And as for atmosphere, “old-fashioned soda fountain” and “pool-side” speak volumes, in my opinion.
All of the dining settings at The Beach Club offer pleasant, relaxing settings. Learn more about them here.
One of the perks of being on vacation is indulging in the “extras,” those little self-indulgences that allow us to focus on no one and nothing else but ourselves. They aren’t necessary…and yet maybe they are.
Consider the spa experience, for example. You could visit Gulf Shores, relax on the beach, and enjoy the area activities and attractions, and you’d have a fabulous vacation. Throw in a trip (or two) to The Beach Club’s spa for a little pampering and your vacation has just reached a new level. With manicures and pedicures and various massages, relaxation is a certainty—and isn’t that the point of vacation?
The great thing about The Beach Club’s spa is you can choose what works for you: the experience could be just about you and your particular situation (the spa offers special packages for moms-to-be and brides), or you could share it with someone special by taking advantage of the couples massage. Get a facial, have your hair done, even eat lunch while you’re there—whatever it takes to decompress and get the most out of your “me” time.

 You’ve been hard at work all winter, going to the gym, hitting the treadmill at home, to get in shape for spring and summer visits to the beach. After all, you have plans to stroll the sugar-white sand in your new bikini or styling swim trunks.
And after the initial dread, all those workouts became fun. You started to enjoy the increased energy level and the way you were not only looking better but feeling better. So you don’t want to give up that routine when you take that long-awaited trip to the beach.
At Turquoise Place, we’ve got your workout covered in our state-of-the-art fitness center. And at 2,250 square feet with stunning views of the beach and Gulf, this isn’t a converted basement closet – this is the real deal.
You can work up a sweat on more than 40 pieces of equipment including cardio equipment and free weights – all on the comfort of a high-impact rubber flooring. And when you aren’t taking in the views of the beach, you can enjoy the television options including HD and movie channels. Our fitness center includes convenient private restrooms and balcony access.
 It is truly amazing what you can find on social sites these days. You might find a classmate from third grade or hear from a friend that moved across the country.

Great article from USA Today comparing the cost/value of renting a condo vs. a hotel room. Most people would choose to rent a condo over a hotel for the extra space and the full kitchen for cooking meals at home (and saving money), but they still miss the convenience of room service, daily maid service and the friendly concierge at the front desk. Spectrum Resorts blends the best of both worlds offering condos with spacious floor plans (we’re talking 2600 sq. ft.) and gourmet kitchens PLUS the convenience of a a grocery delivery service, a daily maid service to refresh your towels and concierge to plan your day so you never have to leave your balcony.
