Review: Westin Hilton Head Resort

Westin Hilton Head ResortThis 4th of July weekend, we (along with my wife and daughter) went to Hilton Head Island, SC for a weekend getaway. Our lives were getting too hectic and breaking the routine was kinda important. So we decided to visit the island which was a 5 hour drive from Cumming, GA (suburb of Atlanta). Since we were not planning to do touristy stuff, the best way to enjoy was to stay in a resort. So that’s what we did. We decided on the Westin Hilton Head Resort. The price of the room per day was $350 including a $50 “resort fees”. Yeah it was pricey, but we wanted to pamper ourselves.

The drive was very comfortable and as we approached Hilton Head the scenery was just gorgeous. You could see all the major stores and restaurants that you would expect to see on a tourist town, but they were all tucked in behind beautiful palm trees and greenery.

We quickly checked in Westin since indoor parking was located conveniently and there were elevators to take us to the lobby.  The room was a good size and the KING bed was very comfortable.  Soon it was time for dinner and we decided to order Room Service. Of course the prices were a little steep , but hey, we were not here on a budget vacation. So I ordered a meat pizza and fish sticks for my daughter. When the food arrived, it was hot and pretty good.

Then we decided go down and explore the resort a little. There were 2 outdoor pools that full of vacationers and there were hotel staff giving out marshmallows to toast them in the fire, to make S’mores. That was awesome. We then moved on to go to the beach. It was just a few steps from the pool. It was quite windy, but it was very beautiful.

Once back in our room, we decided on going to bed early (It never happens when we are home).  Now for the annoying part. In our room, whenever the air conditioning turned off it made a clunking sound loud enough to scare my daughter. We didn’t report it though (which we should have done right then), since we were tired and just wanted to sleep and once asleep the noise didn’t really bother us.

The next morning we ordered some breakfast from Room Service. Eggs, bacon and some various breads including muffins, danish, toast etc. It was very good!

Later in the day we had spa appointments at the ‘Westin Heavenly Spa’ that I review in a later post.

Free Chick-fil-A food

Yesterday I wrote about the grand opening of the Avenue Mall in Forsyth County, GA. Now here is some good news for Chick-fil-A lovers here in Cumming, GA.

Chick-fil-A Inc. is giving away $26,000 in food to the first 100 adult customers in line for the May 8 grand opening of its new store at Avenue Forsyth at 430 Peachtree Parkway in Cumming, Ga.

The Atlanta-based chicken sandwich chain said it will give a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A Combo Meals (52 coupons) to each of the first 100 adults, age 18 and older with identification, at the new restaurant. The line can begin forming up to 24 hours before the opening, with the prizes being given away on May 8 sometime between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. The restaurant will open for business immediately afterward.

Chick-fil-A’s popular grand opening giveaway started in 2003.

“When we started the First 100 Fans promotion we were stunned when someone arrived 18 hours in advance and asked where he could wait in line,” said Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A president. “Almost five years later, we’ve given away more than $7 million in free Chick-fil-A food across the country to raving fans who’ve braved snow, wind, rain and triple-digit temperatures to help us celebrate the opening of each new Chick-fil-A.”

Chick-fil-A has more than 1,380 locations in 37 states and Washington, D.C. Its sales jumped 16 percent to $2.64 billion in 2007. The chain which plans to add 88 locations this year, including 70 stand-alone restaurants.

We should be hearing some more promotions like these because nothing attracts customers better than free stuff :)
