Classic Villas, Sun-Drenched Pools, Sea Views

Wow, is it true? May is only 11 days away.

Summer is just around the corner and it's time to get your summer vacation plans locked down. If Europe is calling your name this year, then we can help you answer back with a "Yes!" Italy, Greece, or France - a villa in Europe is a great base for seeing the local sites, absorbing the culture, and creating memories with family and friends. However, if a trip across the pond seems out of reach this year, scroll down to the bottom of this email for some tempting vacation destinations closer to home.

This is what our clients had to say about these 3 popular villas in Europe

TUSCANY - BRV SAS - free night and welcome dinner in July
"Everything was wonderful including all the dinners and breakfast the best part was the host and the hostess they are just lovely people. Thanks for the experience and all your help...."

MYKONOS - LIV KYM - rent with LIV OKY next door and make that reunion happen
"This Villa was the most beautiful villa I have ever stayed in. It was perfect: the pool, the decorating, the chef....absolutely perfect. I loved Mykonos."

PROVENCE - CEN GOU - bike through the countryside and local villages
"We could not have been more pleased with our Provence experience. The villa was absolutely spectacular, perfectly located, and totally comfortable for 7 people."

    Word of the week

TOPE
Visitors to the Mexican Caribbean may have seen this word and wondered what it meant, and if you are a driver you may have already found out the hard way! Tope is the word for speed bumps or sleeping policemen. You'll find topes in front of schools and in residential areas and as you enter and leave villages such as those along Highway 180 to Chichén Itzá and Mérida.

Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort Invites Families to Celebrate 40th Anniversary of Earth Day With Free Eco-Educational Activities

Earth Day (April 22) is the date when Americans unite to help make a difference and promote an eco-friendly lifestyle. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day (April 22), Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort is helping to instill green values at an early age by offering complimentary eco-education for kids and families April 10-24, 2010. Tiki Tribe kids' club attendants will host a daily free 30-60 minute activity focused on unique aspects of Marco Island's native ecosystem, i.e. Dolphin Mondays, Sea Turtle Tuesdays, etc. Parents and the children will have fun learning Marco Island eco-facts; for example: when sea turtles lay eggs, up to 100 at a time, the temperature of the sand determines whether the turtles are male or female. The majority of the Earth Day program will take place on the pristine beach so participants will be enveloped in the local environment as they learn.

"One of the pillars that we live by is a reverence for nature," said General Manager Rick Medwedeff. "Educating our guests about the wonders that thrive on our beautiful beaches and Gulf waters is only part of it. Our efforts are protecting the environment for the next generation, so we designed our Earth Day programs to focus on children."

This extraordinary south Florida oceanfront resort became certified One Palm in October 2008 as part of the Florida Green Lodging Certification Program by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Green Lodging Certification Program establishes environmental guidelines for hotels to conserve natural resources and prevent pollution. Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort utilizes energy-efficient windows and doors, green-friendly paint, fluorescent lighting and LED lighting, as well as temperature controls. Both the resort property and The Rookery at Marco Island golf course employ light level meters and a computer-monitored energy management system.

The premier south Florida golf resort practices green-friendly initiatives throughout the property from using all low-flow faucets, shower heads and toilets to cleaning linens every three days or by request. A state-of-the art laundry system uses 30% less water, electricity and gas. The food and beverage outlets are R12 freon-free and recycle all glass, plastic, paper, cardboard, metal and tin containers, as well as used grease. In-house printing (if at all!) is done on two-sided paper. Out of all the paper goods on property, over 60% is made up of 30% post-consumer recycled goods. All of the food and beverage outlets provide plastic cups made out of corn products and are completely biodegradable. Since February 2008, the Marco Resort has produced over 360 tons of recycled goods.

Green travelers can make reservations by visiting www.marcoislandmarriott.com or calling 800-GET-HERE. Kids can participate in full-day or half-day Tiki Tribe activities for $70 (including lunch) and $40 per child, respectively.

Nestled on three miles of pristine southwest Florida white sand beaches, Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort is the perfect island within an island escape. Caressed by tropical breezes and inspired by a Balinese sense of harmony, balance and hospitality, this is simply, paradise found. From the magnificent new Quinn's Pool, surrounded by lush landscaping and outdoor dining and meeting spaces, to our elegant spa, private resort Rookery Golf Course, and our luxurious rooms and lanai suites that overlook the dazzling Gulf of Mexico, Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort is the sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, discovery and play. Our attentive concierge service, choice of shopping, dining and recreational activities makes Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort the choice for unforgettable family vacations, memorable business meetings and Florida beach weddings.
