Enclosed by palm-shaded hills and overlooking its own yacht-filled cove, Wyndham’s Elysian Beach Resort offers a most magnificent setting. The resort has 67 villas, each with a balcony that overlooks the sea. In addition to its own white-sandy beach (what else do you really need?), this St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands resort has amenities to please everyone, including tennis, a fitness club, swimming, sailing and snorkeling. Take a dip in the pool, or just relax with a good book under the palm trees.

After a day in the sun, lounge in the resort’s well-known restaurant as you enjoy a casual, yet elegant, dinner. Elysian Beach Resort is located next to the St. Thomas Yacht Club on the eastern end of the island. The nearby village of Red Hook provides restaurants and nightlife as well as charter fishing boats for the marlin grounds close by.

Naturally, the fun in Myrtle Beach always starts on the beach, the area’s most popular attraction. Sixty miles of sandy beaches provide ample entertainment opportunities such as water sports, shell collecting and more as part of your vacation. But there’s a wide range of other activities awaiting you. Test your game on the area’s many miniature golf courses, head out to the emerald-green fairways of a local championship golf course, or cool off at one of the area’s water or amusement parks. Take a cruise aboard a riverboat, or go it alone on a pontoon boat. The whole family pedaling up and down the beach, stopping whenever and wherever, ice cream cones in warm sunshine and sizzling boardwalk burgers – you wouldn’t trade a single bite of this bliss for the fanciest five-star cuisine. The kids think the coolest souvenir this trip was the genuine shark teeth they found on the beach today. But your greatest treasure is that tiny, perfectly formed seashell, now tucked away in a soft handkerchief. You’ll always remember when you found it, watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. There are just so many things to enjoy – most within a few bare feet of each other. Like yesterday with all the beach activities…relaxation by the pool and navigating 1,875 feet of hairpin curves on the Race of Champions track. That’s when you called a time-out for refueling. Everyone was craving seafood and Murrells Inlet fit the bill – hard and soft shell goodies galore.

Myrtle Beach is also home to a number of award winning annual festivals which are free attractions including the CanAm or Canadian-American Days Festival, the Sun Fun Festival which signals the start of the summer season, the Beach Boogie & BBQ Festival, the Grand Strand Fishing Rodeo which runs from April to October and the Christmas Towne holiday festival. The Myrtle Beach area is all about the beaches, delectable foods, fun-filled amusement parks and some of the finest unique shopping venues. You will find lively nightlife for the adults including live theater performances, adventurous water sports for the whole family and fishing in an area where you can also learn all about history at the same time. This property is just minutes away from Ripley’s Aquarium and Barefoot Landing. Enjoy high-energy entertainment, comedy, and dancing from rock ‘n’ roll to Broadway at the Carolina Opry, or just keep it country at the Alabama Theatre.

Wyndham at The Cottages is ideally located near all Myrtle Beach has to offer! You’re just minutes away from the outlet shopping mall, celebrity theaters, House of Blues, and Barefoot Landing. Also nearby are Myrtle Beach Pavilion (1 mi.), Ripley’s Aquarium (3 mi.), Tribute! The Concert (5 mi.) and La Belle Amie Vineyard (10 mi.)

Dubbed the Heart of the Gold Coast, Pompano Beach lies midway between Palm Beach and Miami. What began as a small fishing and farming town has developed into a full-fledged resort community, with an economy that is primarily focused around tourism. Pompano Beach takes its name from the fish which are so plentiful in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of southeastern Florida.

Visitors to Pompano Beach will find themselves greeted by thousands of potential accommodations, 200-plus restaurants, festivals taking place throughout the year, and a variety of attractions including gambling, fishing, hanging out at the beach, shopping and golf. Theres something to suit every taste and temperment, from curious children to sports enthusiasts, from people seeking relaxation to people seeking adventure and thrills.

The biggest source of entertainment in Pompano are the beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. Pompano is particularly friendly to scuba divers and snorkelers, who travel from all over the world to dive among the several large reefs just off the coast. Today, the city of Pompano Beach (with landmark Hillsboro Lighthouse) is known for its small town feeling and beautiful beach where the fish are still abundant offshore. Just north of Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach is home to the Goodyear Blimp. The city also hosts the annual Pompano Beach Seafood Festival.

Whether you enjoy mixing business with golf, a leisurely day at the spa or relaxing on one of Floridas most beautiful beaches, the Wyndham Palm-Aire offers casual elegance and spacious accommodations at an exceptional price.
