‘SANDBOX SAVINGS’ AT BEACHES RESORTS THIS FALL

(September 25, 2007) – With most school age children back at their desks, it is no surprise that families with preschoolers often opt for August through October to plan a vacation getaway.  Beaches Resorts, the Caribbean’s leading family resorts with locations in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos, has just made it easier for families wishing to get away this fall through its ‘Sandbox Savings’ package. Families who book now for travel between September 1, 2007 and October 31, 2007 can enjoy up to 45 percent of regular rack rates.  Rates begin at $159.50 per person, per night with a three-night minimum stay.  Package highlights include enhanced preschool entertainment and activities for island-hopping tots, through exclusive partnerships with Sesame Workshop and Crayola, as well as romantic retreats and nanny services for parents. 

“While most beach destinations scale back on attractions during the fall, Beaches Resorts’ ‘Sandbox Savings’ travel package offers the most comprehensive vacation experience in the Caribbean for parents traveling with toddlers,” said Maggie Rivera, Director of Public Relations and Sales Promotions for Unique Vacations, the worldwide representatives for Beaches Resorts. “Plus, with up to 45 percent off savings on vacations booked this fall, there is no better time to head for Beaches Resorts.”

This fall, non-stop fun awaits Beaches Resorts’ youngest guests through its ‘Sandbox Savings’ deal, featuring entertainment, programs and activities, geared toward the preschool set, including:

Beaches Resorts Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street: Beaches Resorts is a proud sponsor of Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street.  Guests of Beaches Resorts have the exciting opportunity to sing, dance and laugh with their favorite Sesame Street characters while on vacation. From daily, on-property appearances by Elmo, Cookie Monster, Zoe, Grover and Bert & Ernie, to on-site Sesame Street events including themed birthday parties, pirate-themed treasure caravans and characters breakfasts, there is something to keep the kids entertained for hours. Jet setting preschoolers will also enjoy plenty of one-on-one time with their favorite furry friends through activities such as learning to dance with Zoe, baking cookies with Cookie Monster, nature walks and exploration with Grover, and more.  Adding to the excitement this fall, Beaches welcomes Abby Cadabby, the popular fairy muppet, who recently joined the Sesame Street gang.  From participating in Beaches’ pirate-themed treasure caravan show at Beaches Turks & Caicos to joining the rest of her furry friends during the Sesame Street Parade at all four resort locations in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos, Abby will be sure to delight the crowds with her “that’s so magic!” attitude and zest.

·        Sesame Street Stage Shows:  Tiny tots will enjoy live entertainment through Beaches’ Sesame Street Stage Shows, with performances such as “You, Me and Sesame” and “Bert & Ernie’s Island Vacation” at all four Beaches locations.  Additionally, guests will be thrilled when new-comer Abby Cadabby takes the stage.  Debuting this fall is a new show, where Abby will showcase her music chops while performing “Magic in Me.” 

·        Beaches’ Pirate’s Island Waterpark: Preschoolers can slip n’ slide their way into swashbuckling fall fun at the Pirate’s Island Waterpark at Beaches Negril and Beaches Turks & Caicos. And now, families vacationing at Beaches Boscobel Resort & Golf Club in Ocho Rios, Jamaica can also have a splash-tacular time as the resort unveiled its own newly-expanded Pirate’s Island Waterpark this summer. For Beaches’ youngest waterpark enthusiasts, Pirate’s Island features a Pirate-themed kid’s zone and zero entry kiddie pool with a misting crab, a squirting sea turtle and a splashing seahorse and six new kiddie slides. 

·        Crayola Art Camps:  Through Beaches Resorts’ exclusive Crayola Art Camps, families can unleash their creativity through Caribbean-inspired games and activities using Crayola products.  Participants will enjoy hours of fun with Beaches staff members who have been professionally trained by Crayola to lead and supervise tots through imaginative and educational activities.  Combining creativity with physical activity, the camps will ensure that families get the most out of their Beaches vacation by creating scavenger hunt collage frames, island wishing wands, island medallions and much more.
