Summer is almost through but there’s still time to get to ‘Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island, and save a little with the “Back to School” special — meaning you save a whopping 50% off every Sunday-Thursday night reservation now to September 2, 2010!
And what’s better? This special isn’t just for those going back to school. Perhaps you need a little break from working through the summer? Maybe Captiva Island has been calling your name for a while? Or perhaps you just need an excuse to sit on the beach and enjoy a little paradise.
We’ve got your excuse right here, at ‘Tween Waters Inn. CALL ONLY FOR RESERVATIONS: 800.223.5865 and mention “Back to School.”
It’s a beautiful second week and June, and surprisingly, the beaches are active and full on Captiva Island, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.
Reports continue flowing in regarding the BP Oil Spill and it’s disastrous effects on Louisiana, Alabama and Florida Panhandle, and everyone in Southwest Florida truly has his and her hearts, hopes and prayers with anyone who is being affected by the spill, either physically or financially.
What is truly disheartening in Southwest Florida is the association that visitors have in relation to the size of the oil spill and it’s current location. Recently, oil touched the Pensacola region of Florida, more than 400 miles from the shores of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, yet headlines reported “Oil has hit Florida” and “Oil Disaster Hitting Florida” mixed with messages reagarding both oil in the Panhandle and the potential of hitting the Florida Keys makes for a very perfect storm — an unemployment, loss in tourism, loss in business storm surely touching every part of the state.
It’s a generalization that is costing many regions, even far from the spill. Despite any physical effects and the immense distance from the spill, hotels on the Islands of Captiva and Sanibel are being proactive about these headlines, offering discounts, beach guarantees and even 24-hour cancelation policies.
And this proactive approach seems to be working. The message appears to be “Your Vacation is Safe” and as I report from the beaches at ‘Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island, the message seems to be affective. I not only saw clean, white-sand beaches, but I also witnessed plenty of guests enjoying the beaches and sun.
The future still remains in those who can have a little extra faith that everyone here is doing all they can to ensure that all future vacations are safe. It’s a peace of mind for those who need it.
