Why You Should Book the Beach Club Resort and Spa Through Spectrum

September 18, 2019 | blogging, family, Travel, Uncategorized

Disclosure: I was provided with accommodations, some meals and resort amenities by the Beach Club Resort and Spa, however, all opinions are my own.

We love going to the beach, and when we had the opportunity to visit the Beach Club Resort and Spa by Spectrum in Gulf Shores, we jumped at the chance. We went here about 10 years ago, but a lot has changed since then, and we, of course, had never taken Emma Kate.

The condos are owned by individuals, but the resort has so many “resort-like” features for you to take advantage of, and the only way to get them included in the price of your condo is to book directly through Spectrum.

Here are my top 5 reasons you should book directly through Spectrum for your Beach Club vacation:

Front Desk/Concierge:

When you book through Spectrum, you have a great first impression with the front desk staff at the Beach Club Resort and Spa. They get you checked in, answer all your questions, give you your wristbands (more on that later) as well as a card for complimentary DVD rentals and a free scoop of ice cream for the kiddos. If you experience any problems during your stay, there is an onsite concierge to help you out, so you can enjoy your family time worry-free and hassle-free.

Cashless Charging:

When we checked in, we were each given a wristband to use around the resort. Having a way to pay for things without lugging my wallet to the beach or pool was amazing. Also, when you use your wristband on property, you get 10% off of most things. Great perk! The bands were also used to open the gate to the special clubhouse pool which I will talk more about in a minute.

Beach Chair Rentals:

Anyone who has kids knows how many things you have to lug through the sand in the hot sun for a day at the beach. We used to drag a tent (yes a tent!) to the beach plus chairs, towels, food, and all the sand toys. It was exhausting and often took multiple trips. When you book through Spectrum at the Beach Club, you get priority front row seats and first access to their beach chairs and umbrellas, plus a discount!

Complimentary Kids Activities:

There is always something going on at the Clubhouse pool! There are tons of kids activities like sand sculptures, shark tooth necklaces, and more offered during the day. When you book through Spectrum and attend kids activities wearing your wristband, you get to participate for FREE! That’s right, we would be swimming, and the activities director would come out with tons of art supplies. Emma Kate would hop out of the pool and run over to see what she got to make. She loved it and it was nice to have some fun little souvenirs to bring home.

Full Resort/Clubhouse access:

There are four condo towers at the Beach Club Resort and Spa. In front of each one in between the tower and the beach, there is a pool. In between the two towers lies the clubhouse and clubhouse pool. It’s pretty amazing. There is an indoor pool, a gym, locker room with showers, steam room and sauna, as well as the ability to use their beach towels and not your own. At the pool there is a bar and grill where you can use your wristband to order and have food brought to you. This is also where all the kids activities are held. The gate to this pool area is only accessed by using your wristband, which you only get when you book via Spectrum.

There are many reasons to stay at the Beach Club Resort and Spa, but even MORE reasons to book via Spectrum Resorts. Make sure you are maximizing your time, money, and benefits by booking directly, and you can enjoy all of these things and more as you sip fruity drinks and listen to the ocean waves. Happy travels!

šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr šŸ–ļø I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🄹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. šŸ’–

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. šŸ§€ 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. šŸ›³āœØ

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing ā€œLet it Goā€ with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being ā€œcoolā€. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term ā€œfinding yourselfā€, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. šŸ’›āœØ

We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. šŸ’–
