å“Extra, extra read all about it,å” says the 39-room Coral Sands Resort on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Read about what you may ask? Coral Sands are offering å‘free nightså’ at the family-friendly property for the second year, the booking of three nights between Aug. 1 and Nov. 26 will grant holiday-makers a fourth night free, while a five night stay from Sept. 1 to Nov. 26 can result in two additional nights without charge.
Bookings of ten nights at the 39-room property can lead to a bonus of four more on a complimentary basis.
“The popularity of this value-added approach last year, not only made it a no brainer in terms of wanting to repeat it in 2003, but in widening the opportunities as well,” noted Wim Steenbakkers, general manager. “These ‘Free Nights’ bonuses, represent a potent invitation for both our repeat guests and our first-timers to savor even more time at our Out Island property.”
Nightly per-room rates to Dec. 21 at Coral Sands begin at $160 (Garden View) plus surcharges. Youngsters under 12 with parents can stay fee, and a “Food For Thought” program now in effect through Dec. 19, 2003 allows them to select breakfast, lunch and dinner items from a children’s menu without charge when accompanied by at least one paying adult.
