Gulf Shores Plantation Gears Up for Spring Break

Guf Shores, AL, January 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- With a Christmas snowstorm and frigid temperatures in January, many people in the Southeast and Midwest have been shivering this winter. Under heavy coats, they have been looking forward to warmer weather and a chance to escape the cold. It's a seasonal condition known as Spring Break Dreaming.

Meanwhile, the staff at Gulf Shores Plantation in Gulf Shores, Alabama has been hard at work getting everything ready to welcome those looking for a thaw and plenty of Gulf Coast sunshine.

Crews are making sure that the seven swimming pools are in top shape, ready for splishing and splashing. Likewise the eight tennis courts, the basketball courts and putting green are being prepared for active Spring Break families and friends.

For those who define Spring Break in terms of golf, Gulf Shores Plantation offers the convenience of championship golf right next door at Kiva Dunes. Guests can be swinging a club within minutes and then be back on the beach just as fast.

History buffs can make the short drive to nearby Fort Morgan, a key site in the Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay.

And speaking of a drive, Alabama's Coastal Connection, the newly recognized National Scenic Byway, passes right by the driveway of Gulf Shores Plantation. The 130-mile path allows visitors to experience the scenic and cultural beauty of Mobile and Baldwin Counties. From blooms at Bellingrath Gardens to white sand beaches in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, it's an ideal windows-down Spring Break drive.

When they wrap up a day of swimming, golfing and driving, guests can enjoy another great feature of the Alabama Gulf Coast - abundant fresh seafood. Area restaurants have menus loaded with countless ways to prepare shrimp and fish. Drink menus feature those quintessential vacation-signifying drinks with tiny umbrella. And decadent dessert options require the promise to exercise next week.

To help their guests stay on budget during Spring Break, Gulf Shores Plantation is offering a 7th Night Free Special on all condos.

"We know that families save all year long for their Spring Break vacation," said Pedro Mandoki, CEO of Mandoki Hospitality, the onsite rental company at the Gulf Shores Plantation. "We work hard to keep our property in top shape and to keep our rates affordable so that our guests have the best possible experience."
