ST. PETE BEACH, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/04/09 --
WHO: The TradeWinds Island Resorts -- the Island Grand
Resort and the Sandpiper
Suites -- two beachfront vacation resorts located directly on the Gulf
of Mexico on St. Pete Beach, Florida, just 30 minutes from Tampa.
WHAT: TradeWinds celebrates the spirit of the season with a sleigh full of
holiday-themed activities for family travel from Dec. 23-31. Children of
all ages will delight in decorating stockings, Santa hats and snow globes,
making candles and sea shell night lights, playing a holiday-themed "Name
That Tune" and enjoying a poolside "Christmas Classic" Dive-In movie. The
supervised KONK Club (Kids Only, No Kidding) is planning a stocking-busting
slate of programs, including Little Elves Fun Day to Pirates and
Princesses. Before heading out to deliver gifts around the world, Santa
will be relaxing at his favorite Florida beach resort -- the TradeWinds.
Old Saint Nick will pose poolside for photos, assist with cookie decorating
and will even read stories and listen to last-minute wish list requests.
The popular Christmas Day
buffet will feature traditional holiday entrees, salads and sides,
along with some Florida favorites with a twist, including apple cider
glazed salmon with butternut squash risotto, sliced honey glazed ham in a
champagne fig sauce and St. Andrews chicken roulade with roasted bell
pepper and Mediterranean couscous. For guests who save room, an incredible
array of Christmas cakes and pies and sweets will add the perfect ending.
Santa himself cannot resist the feast and will make an appearance to pose
for priceless family photos. The cost for the Classic Christmas Feast is
$37.95 for adults, $29.95 for seniors (ages 60 and up) and $17.95 for
children 10 and under. Taxes and gratuity are not included.
Vacation rates for Dec. 21-30, 2009 begin at $129* at the Island Grand and

just steps from America's #1 Beach in 2005 -- Fort De Soto Beach
