Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa Launches a New Family Services Program

Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa - (Jupiter, Florida) "It’s all about the family being happy”, says Jeff Castner General Manager of the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa and father of three, “ It’s nice that there are family packages offered by resorts, but what’s really included in those offers that really helps the family have a great time? I feel we here at the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa have come up with a really good answer to that”. Inspired by his own families needs when traveling, “Everyone wants to think that all you need to do is get to the resort and everything will be fine, but any parent will tell you, that’s really just the beginning, it’s then that the real questions start, What specifically is there for the kids to do? Exactly where are the places for the kids to play? How can we balance our adult time with there’s? And with my own 14, 12 and 1 year olds, how can I keep all of them and my wife happy without going crazy in the process? Let’s just say I was very motivated to make this new family services program answer all those questions and more, and I feel my team has accomplished just that”. Jeff continues, “It starts with flexibility, not every family is the same, I know that sounds obvious but our program has to be a fit for everyone. So we have different levels of activities and different times for different services, for example, Most of our weekend afternoon activities called ‘Little Loggerhead Kid’s Club’ is focused on the fun of being outdoors for the younger children, while in the evening, ‘Kid’s Night Out’ has activities that answer to a broader spectrum of ages”. With both an arcade style game room to a supervised activities room with Wii’s, group activities and crafts, “we’ll keep it diverse. Anything from hair braiding, to craft contests, games and ‘float-in’ movies, the idea is not to just distract the kids, it to add to the adventure of being at the resort”. Jeff goes on to say, “Let’s not forget everything around the resort that the family can enjoy together as well. There is the historic Jupiter Lighthouse right next door, as is the Turtle Sanctuary and the Jon Dickerson State Park with its guided tours, all arrange-able by our concierge, often with discounts. We even have GPS’s available should you want to venture even farther”. To inaugurate these new family services the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa has created the ‘Family Time Out’ package, which includes guaranteed room type (double beds), milk and cookies delivered to your room on your first evening, breakfast each morning of your stay, a guaranteed late checkout till 4pm on Sunday and a welcome gift bag that includes; candy / beach shoes / sunscreen / $20 in game tokens and a stuffed toy. “It’s a lot to offer, but so is organizing a family getaway, believe me, I can appreciate that”, say Jeff. To view all the details of the family services program or the new ‘Family Time Out’ package at the Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa visit us on our new website at www.jupiterbeachresort.com/family-time-out.html

 

Included also in the new site are the easier sharing tools for social media like Facebook, Twitter, and RSS. “In this new world of social media, more and more guests wish to share their online discoveries and more importantly to ask the opinions of their friends.

Press Release announcing our new 'Travel Green' Incentive

December 04, 2007 02:10 PM Eastern Time

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

Saturday, November 03, 2007

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.

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.

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.
