Relax with Spectrum Resorts

Accommodations are an important factor in a successful vacation. It’s a great feeling to return to a comfortable, luxurious condo after a day spent in the sun, whether at the beach, touring the local sites, or attending an Alabama Gulf Coast sporting event. So it’s very appropriate that Spectrum Resorts is one of the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission’s sponsors.

With three resorts to choose from—The Beach Club, Caribe the Resort, and Turquoise Place—Spectrum Resorts offers a number of lodging options, from one- to five-bedroom condos as well as charming, spacious beach cottages. Each property offers its own assortment of amenities and guest services, including several outdoor and indoor swimming pools, poolside cabanas and bars, fitness centers, lazy rivers, spa services, supervised child care, and novelties such as life-size chess (The Beach Club) and lawn bowling (Caribe).

All three locations also offer a variety of specials to enhance guests’ vacation experiences, including free concert tickets, resort credit, and packages that include guests’ choice of golf, fishing, shopping gift cards, and passes to places like Waterville USA and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.

The company also offers a no-payment-until-you-stay policy, and guests can cancel reservations up to 72 hours before their arrival with no penalty.
