May was a whirlwind travel month preparing for our summer and fall programs. Started in Phoenix for my son’s college graduation where we stayed at the The Pointe at Squaw Peak. We’re considering a buy-out for early 08 and wanted to see their ongoing renovations which will be complete before Super Bowl next year. This all-suites resort is revamping all rooms, getting a new spa and repainting the entire outside…it will look completely different in a few months.
Then I headed to Williamsburg, VA…did you know they’re celebrating 400 years! In fact Queen Elizabeth stayed there just days before I arrived. The Williamsburg Lodge is a fantastic property with awesome meeting space and unique 2-story ‘guesthouses’ that have newly renovated accommodations. What a great historical area to meet! I’d be happy to share some ideas for meeting themes, entertainment, dine-arounds and activities.
Next stop was the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman. Only a year old, the resort is shining on 7-Mile Beach. I really enjoyed exploring the Stingray City and SeaStar Beach with the staff from their Ambassadors of The Environment (AOTE) program – the only resort AOTE program in the world. If you are considering GC for a future incentive program we can really offer some great advice.
Finally – I was hosted at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin for 3 days and fed incredible!! meals by in-house chefs and Chef-Owner of BlueZoo, Todd English. I left with extraordinary ideas for group dinners...and I’d love to replicate them for your next event. Both properties are well underway with loads of renovations to indoor and outdoor function space and accommodations, but the most impressive thing about the resort, and Orlando in general, is that the people are just ‘so darn nice’….
