ECO-FRIENDLY CARIBBEAN RESORT SALUTES SPRING AND SUMMER
Verandah Resort & Spa Promotion Kicks Off on Earth Day
April 1, 2008: ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA (APRIL 1, 2008) - Verandah Resort & Spa, a luxury, eco-friendly Caribbean resort set along Antigua’s secluded northeast coast, is kicking off a spring/summer promotion that provides 15 percent savings on all-inclusive nightly room rates which start at $495 based on double occupancy. Plus guests will truly enjoy the “earth” friendly resort a bit more with a complimentary fifth or seventh night. Reservations must be booked between Earth Day, April 22 and May 19, 2008 for travel through August 31, 2008.

”Verandah Resort & Spa was designed to be eco-friendly without sacrificing the luxury aspects of an upscale property. Having built on only 12 of the resort’s 30 acres, the property is one of the most spacious in the Caribbean. Everything from the use of indigenous building materials to conserving native plant life has been done with an eye towards being environmentally friendly. We decided to offer a special rate in honor of Earth Day to help focus attention on the importance of preserving the environment,” said Steven E. Heydt, Elite Island Resorts’ president.

Adjacent to a national park, the resort provides a stunning setting for romance, family fun and sumptuous indulgence. Its grounds include two soft white-sand beaches and tranquil waters on a reef-protected, cove-like bay—ideal for swimming, kayaking, sailing and snorkeling. The resort’s freeform Oasis pool, with a fun high-splashing water feature, is one of the Caribbean’s largest pools and an inviting spot to lounge in the sun or enjoy a refreshing dip. The signature Spa Tranquility offers rejuvenating and soothing treatments in a serene setting.

Verandah Resort & Spa also has a state-of-the-art fitness center, a mini-cinema, a dedicated Kid’s Club, and a choice of restaurants and bars. Its 200 villa-style suites feature the resort’s glorious namesake verandahs with incredible views of the sea, along with indulgent touches such as flat-screen TVs, king-size beds, and romantic soaking bathtubs built for two.

Verandah Resort & Spa is a member of Elite Island Resorts, the award-winning Caribbean hotel company known for its distinctive, premier properties.
