Press Release announcing our new 'Travel Green' Incentive

Meeting Planners Coming to Florida Have a New ‘Green’ Incentive to Consider When Booking Their Events

JUPITER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa, a 4-star resort in Palm Beach County, Florida, recognizes the need for a more active role in balancing its impact on the environment and is launching this initiative by offering meeting planners, who book events through April 20^th 2008, ‘Carbon Offsetting’ for all attendees.

“We see this as a first step in being proactive, instead of waiting for something to be done,” says Jeff Castner, General Manager of the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa.

“With the growing awareness to the changes in our environment comes the advent of organizations that give us the ability to ‘offset’ the carbon byproduct produced by us when we travel. This Carbon Offsetting can be accomplished through the purchasing of ‘Carbon Offsetting Credits’ with organizations such as www.gogreennow.org. You purchase credit for the C0₂ created by your flight, your drive and even your time spent at the resort. Additionally, we offer our guests to the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa the ability to help compensate for their impact on the environment online at www.jupiterbeachresort.com/travelgreen. We hope that this particular promotion, where the resort pays for the Carbon Offsetting of our guests, will become the catalyst for similar campaigns to be adopted by everyone in the future. We will also distribute luggage tags to participating guests for their return trips that tell everyone ‘I’m Traveling Green’. Other initiatives in the final stages of production are ‘Green Weddings’ and ‘Green Meetings’ in which recycled products are used with the consent of the guest. There are literally dozens of ways we as an industry can improve our environmental impact.” Mr. Castner explains, “For the first time this year we offer ‘Green Gift Certificates’, (www.jupiterbeachresort.com/giftcertificates). Even if you do not stay with us, we ask everyone to consider Carbon Offsetting when making their travel plans. We have put several websites which offer these services on our ‘Travel Green’ page at www.jupiterbeachresort.com./travelgreen.”

Boosters counter Hurricane Noel's bad PR on beach erosion
County tourism bureau pushes 'Always a Beach' campaign to counter national news about local shoreline erosion

People traversing Times Square in Manhattan were temporarily distracted Friday from tracking Hurricane Noel's path as vivid color photographs of Palm Beach County beaches flashed on the Jumbo-Tron there.

Instead of the tiny portion eroded by Noel on its path up the Eastern Seaboard, the photos featured the 45 miles of beaches that remain open for swimming, surfing and strolling, and which are a significant draw for tourism.

The images are part of a damage-control campaign by the Palm Beach County Convention & Visitors Bureau to counter negative depictions of the county's beaches appearing in the news.

The bureau's new leader launched the offensive after a recent Weather Channel segment used erosion in Jupiter to characterize the whole county.

Using the slogan, "Always a Beach in Palm Beach County," bureau President and CEO Jorge Pesquera sent an image-bolstering release to 4,900 national news outlets, television "markets of influence," and national news gatherers including NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, Fox News, MSNBC and The Weather Channel.

"The overwhelming majority of beaches ... are open, accessible and welcoming to visitors," Pesquera said, and reports of countywide beach erosion are "false."

Pesquera based his message on the findings of Dan Bates, director of the Palm Beach County Environmental Enhancement & Restoration Division.

Bates said only two miles of the county's 47 miles of coastline are areas of critical erosion concern.

"There will always be a beach here for visitors," Bates said. "It is part of the natural process for beaches to erode and expand."

Pesquera acknowledged that rougher ocean conditions likely kept "all but the most ardent surfers from the water."

Nonetheless, "the beaches never closed and, other than swimming restrictions, beach recreation has not been impeded," he said.

The bureau also filed a complaint with The Weather Channel and contacted the reporter "who was making these outlandish statements based on an isolated situation in Jupiter," Pesquera said.

Michael W. Sole, secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, sent staff into the field this week to evaluate the effects to the shoreline from the combined effects of Noel and a high-pressure system off Northeast Florida.

"DEP is working on how to expedite permitting to allow communities to recover and protect property," Sole said.

Areas that might need permitting assistance include portions of the beach south of Jupiter Inlet, segments of Singer Island, the Lantana Public Beach, and part of Palm Beach and South Palm Beach, according to the DEP.

For permitting questions, call (850) 488-7708, or see www.dep.state.fl.us/beaches.

Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa brings awareness to "Turtle Season"

April 19, 2007 04:51 PM Eastern Daylight Time

2007 Turtle Nesting Season in Palm Beach County Florida

JUPITER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Each year, from March 1^st through October 30^th, guests of the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa are exclusive witnesses to one of Nature’s miracles: the annual migration of endangered sea turtles to the beaches of Palm Beach County, Florida. As David Godfrey, Executive Director of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation & The Sea Turtle Survival League, states: “Florida's east coast beaches provide nesting habitat for the world's largest remaining population of threatened loggerhead turtles, as well as globally important populations of endangered green and leatherback turtles. For these species to survive, Florida must protect its sea turtle nesting beaches.”

"As 'beachfront citizens' in beautiful Palm Beach county, Florida, we all have to be very aware of our responsibility to our environment," says Jeff Castner, General Manager of the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa, which is located directly adjacent to the Carlin beachfront park in Jupiter, Florida.

To help educate guests at the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa on protecting the nesting females and the hatchlings, each guestroom has two informational pieces. The drapes are decorated to get the guests’ attention with a sea turtle informational card tied to the drapery pulls, urging guests to draw their blackout drapes each evening to prevent the nesting females from becoming disoriented by the light as they make their annual visit to the beaches. A table tent, printed and distributed by the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management, informs the readers of the dangers and pitfalls nesting females and the late summer hatchlings face on the beaches. Additional measures include limiting exterior lighting and covering existing lighting with a film that omits red light which researchers have determined has no effect on the turtle's navigation.

In addition to all the preventative measures to ensure the safety of the endangered creatures, the Jupiter Beach Resort and Spa also pledges to donate $5.00 to the Marine Life Center of Juno Beach for each reservation made in conjunction with their current Travelzoo™ Promotion(a).

The center, located just a few miles from the resort, is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, protection and preservation of marine resources, especially Loggerhead, Leatherback and Green Sea Turtles. The resort’s management hopes to raise awareness through their promotion by tying it to their international Travelzoo™ newsletter campaign, which, potentially seen by over a million travelers, will produce much needed funding for preservation and conservation.

The Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa is one of South Florida’s best-kept travel secrets situated directly on the Atlantic Ocean in northern Palm Beach County, nestled along a secluded stretch of beach. The Resort has an outstanding selection of on-property amenities and services. In addition, the local area offers some of the country’s finest golf courses and deep-sea fishing opportunities.

Premier Florida Resort & Spa responds to the new flight security standards by replacing banned carry-on items for guests

Jupiter FL., Aug. 12  -- In response to new airport security rules banning liquid items from carry-on luggage, Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa today announced it would come to the rescue of arriving guests who were forced to forfeit their toothpaste, contact lens solution, drinking water and other sundries from there carry on luggage.

Arriving guests will be offered complimentary bottled water, contact lens solution, hair spray, hair gel and including toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant and other personal care products. "We currently provide almost all of these items as standard amenities for our guests, all except the eye contact solution, but that was simple to add" says Jeff Castner, General Manager of the Resort, "additionally, we have increased our stock of other helpful items in our gift shop and priced them at local drug store prices, to avoid guests perceiving that they may be taken advantage of in this new security climate, all to help ease the inability to carry them for your entire trip." Mr. Castner goes on to say, "in addition we have made arrangements with local drug & retail stores to provide products (for purchase) that we will pick up for the guest for those who have a specific brand needs".  "All of this is to provide the level of guest service that the four star Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa is famous for," says Jeff Castner General Manager. “We have already instructed our spa to offer free shipping to all guests who purchase from their exclusive line of Fiji products, in the hopes of avoiding temperature, (air) pressure and of course security (theft) issues that go along with checked-in baggage”. The Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa program offers its guests several amenity options including Laptop check outs, iPod checkouts with downloadable music & workout files, free high-speed Internet access, free media disk copies of your pictures and video to a DVD, free copies and faxes, and of course our full service "The Spa".

Groom flies high on wedding day

JUPITER — Standing at the altar, the bride watched her prince charming fall out of the sky Saturday before he walked down the aisle.

Ismael Rodriguez, 34, arrived at his wedding two minutes after jumping from a plane to meet his bride, Mari Delgado, 33, and pledge their vows on the sands of the Jupiter Beach Resort.

Rodriguez took the big leap with six other professional sky divers as crowds craned their necks to watch his safe landing. He was the last to spiral down in a blue and neon-yellow-striped parachute just after 6 p.m.

As he touched ground, Rodriguez greeted his mother and slipped on a tuxedo jacket before he took a breathless walk down a red carpet sprinkled with red roses.

"I was just hoping I didn't land on anybody's head," Rodriguez said.

But the bride appeared to be swept away as R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly played in the background.

"I've always told my friends that I wanted a love time will lie and be still for, and he finally came," Delgado said.

"This is my prince charming."

The Spanish-born Loxahatchee couple decided to start their marriage with an unconventional ceremony to mark their union. They met last year via telephone when Rodriguez lived in Baltimore. He flew Delgado in for a visit and soon after proposed.

Rodriguez began sky diving last year and is also a European kickboxer. His mother flew in from Spain's Basque countryside to give him away.

"He's always been very adventurous," said Maria Pilar Rodriguez, his mother. "I'm nervous, but he told us he wanted to do something special for today."
