SEASONS HOLIDAYS NEWSLETTER JUNE 2009

HAPPY FAMILY HOLIDAY AT CLUB TAHITI

They always say ‘if you keep the children happy on holiday, Mum and Dad will have a good holiday too’. Well, this certainly turned out to be the case in Lanzarote, when Cara and Dylan Rogers, from Swansea, took their four children, aged between six and one.

‘WONDERFUL WEEK’ IN LANZAROTE

	Yet another group of fans for the ever-helpful staff at Seasons Club Tahiti resort are Margaret Davidson from Tayport in Fife, Scotland, together with her husband Alec, daughter Lorna and granddaughter Kelsey (3).

UPDATE ON WHITBARROW VILLAGE
Seasons many members with fond memories of Lake District holidays will be happy to receive the second news bulletin on yet more improvements at Whitbarrow Village, from General Manager, Vaughan Kennedy:

	‘Finally, Whitbarrow Village can rejoice. For after waiting for over eight long months, the much anticipated new Jacuzzi is now open for business and creating a splash! As the picture shows, these guests were delighted on the final day of their holiday, to be the first to use the new facility and we estimate that its popularity is going to be unparalleled throughout the year.

‘WONDERFUL TIME’ AT CLUB CALA

It’s always good to hear from members who have taken advantage of Seasons fabulous holiday exchange facilities to explore pastures new and exciting! Debbie and Darryl Humphries of Gloucester certainly sound as if they enjoyed their recent trip, and it’s great to have a personal recommendation for a specific resort.

Remember, if you feel like spreading your wings, all you have to do is call Reservations on 01994 426000 and benefit from their friendly expert advice!

’We just got back from our two weeks holiday in Club Cala in Puerto Rico and had to let you know what a wonderful time we had. The resort was fabulous and the people there were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our apartment was great, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very spacious. An extra bonus was at the end of the garden was the marina, so we could sit out on the patios and watch all the lovely boats.

We also hired a car for one week and explored most of the island, which was great. Everywhere was so lush, green and colourful (something not usually seen in warmer countries) with unique plants and animals – hence all the beautiful rain forest. I'm not sure how many members have visited Puerto Rico as yet, but I would definitely recommend, with confidence, Club Cala and everything else the island has to offer.
Thanks for all your help with our pre-trip arrangements and we are now looking forward to our next Seasons holiday.’

UPDATE ON NEW SEASONS ALGARVE RESORT

Members have enthusiastically demonstrated how delighted they are to welcome Mar Da Luz as another superb Seasons sunshine resort – once again in Portugal’s ever-popular Algarve. So as it is new to everyone, we thought that it would be useful to use this newsletter to publish the answers to a number of queries which have been raised by some of the many who have already booked their holidays there.

Remember it’s ‘first come, first served’ when it comes to bookings. So if you have any special dates in mind to see the new resort for yourself, simply phone Reservations on 01994 426000.


CLOWANCE GOLF OPEN DAYS

Introducing Chris Wharton the new Golf Pro at Clowance. Chris originally came from Falmouth but went to University in Mexico taking a degree in Golf. For the last few years he has worked on some prestigious Golf courses both in Florida and Las Vegas. It seems that we were destined by fate – Chris had decided to move back to Cornwall to educate his 2 young children – at the same time as we had advertised for a new Golf franchisee. Perfect timing for both parties. Chris has been working hard on the course which had been sadly neglected for a couple of years due to our last franchisees very poor health.
