May 1, 2008, Deerfield Beach, FL: Elite Island Resorts Offers Perfect Multigenerational Getaways, Special Summer Rates

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (May 1, 2008) - Nearly one third of traveling grandparents have taken a trip with a grandchild, according to the Travel Industry Association of America. And, award-winning Elite Island Resorts knows this well. With fun-filled dedicated kids’ clubs and flexible accommodations, from lavish villas to adjoining guest rooms, their Caribbean properties have been drawing a growing number of extended family gatherings. Kayaking, hiking and zip lining through the rainforest are just a few of the memorable outings Elite Island Resorts facilitates allowing extended families to bond around new shared experiences. This summer, special rates that all generations will love can be found at Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort in St. Lucia; and Verandah Resort & Spa and St. James’s Club & Villas in Antigua.  

”Our Caribbean resorts naturally lend themselves to multigenerational vacations. And, our activities and entertainment and exciting excursions draw families together. Plus our spacious villas are an affordable and luxurious way for families to gather without sacrificing privacy,” said Steven E. Heydt, president, Elite Islands Resorts.

Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort in St. Lucia is known for its glorious beach and its stunning villas — many with private plunge pools - set amid 60 exotic, flowering acres. Through August, a “Sun Dollars” resort credit of 15 percent of the room-only rate can be applied towards spa treatments, room upgrades and excursions.  

The Verandah Resort & Spa in Antigua, an eco-friendly luxury retreat adjacent to a national park, offers hiking, kayaking, two white-sand beaches and a large free-form pool. Spacious villa suites sleep four; a second adjacent villa can be booked at a 50 percent savings.

St. James’s Club & Villas in Antigua, tucked into a secluded 100-acre peninsula, exudes a casual, club-like ambience. Families enjoy two white-sand beaches, four freshwater pools, and a range of accommodations including villas that can sleep six.

Both Antigua resorts offer “Stay, Play and Dine Free” summer specials for up to two children sharing accommodations with two adults, plus 20 percent savings on all-inclusive room rates starting at $495 for Verandah Resort & Spa and $520 for St. James’s Club & Villas.
