Barbados (Winter/Spring 2006) – With a spectacular Conference Center, spacious meeting facilities, superlative accommodations, and two luxurious beachfront hotels (Almond Beach Village and Almond Beach Club & Spa), Almond Resorts in Barbados are ideal for groups, events, meetings, and conventions. Almond Morgan Bay, in St. Lucia, is perfectly suited for corporate meetings, special incentive gatherings and intimate family reunions.
Today’s meeting planners are more demanding than ever and are requesting real services and amenities from the destinations that they choose. A podium and a simple conference room off the hotel lobby aren’t enough to keep up with the challenges of meetings and convention travel in the 21st century.
With that in mind, more groups are choosing Almond Resorts than ever before because they understand the needs of business travel in a modern world. Easy all-inclusive bookings mean less paperwork for meeting planners and fewer hassles when it comes to planning meals, transportation, activities and events.
Almond Resorts also offers real incentives to groups and meeting planners that they can rely on. Every group takes top priority and receives the full and focused personal attention of the Groups Department. All groups receive a private check-in with a welcome rum punch or fruit punch, the use of a complimentary dedicated hospitality desk located in the main lobby and one complimentary room for every 20 rooms booked. Additionally, because Almond Resorts are all-inclusive, most of the activities, meals and facilities are included in the price. That means that use of the Conference Center is completely complimentary including coffee breaks and use of basic audio/visual equipment. As an additional bonus, Almond Resorts provides open bars at private dinners and cocktail parties including house wines.
At Almond Resorts, special requests are no problem. Special group-only activities such as off property excursions, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, 18-hole championship golf, sight seeing, boat charter, massage and spa therapy can all be arranged. From menu design to inspired ideas, to creative ways to entertain the group, no task is too large to undertake.
With full reciprocal privileges at both of Almond Resorts’ two sister properties in Barbados, Almond Beach Club & Spa and Almond Beach Village, groups get two dynamic resorts for the price of one. Guests are welcome to use the facilities and restaurants at both properties and each offers convenient round-trip shuttle service. Guests staying at Almond Morgan Bay in St. Lucia, have the option of making it a two-island trip, and vice versa.
The Conference Center at Almond Beach Village is a modern and magnificent space specially designed to host meetings, conventions, indoor receptions, gala dinners, elegant banquets and more. The large open main hall measures 46’ x 40’ and includes a separate projection room, ticket office, two adjacent breakout rooms, terraces, storage areas, full 14-foot stage, dressing area, balcony, bar and kitchen areas. The room can hold up to 115 people for a seated dinner and offers theater-style seating for up to 200 people.
With each Almond Resort spreading over several acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with multiple swimming pools and patios, space is available for evening cocktail receptions, outdoor parties and group events in any of the resorts’ attractive restaurants.
At Almond Resorts, a full range of audio/visual equipment is available including podium, microphones, overhead and slide projectors, giant and pull out projection screens, televisions, video cassette recorders, easels, flip charts, lecterns, carousels and projector stands.
Support services include elaborate catering, theme decorations, live music, floral arrangements, festive table settings and more. Special requirements such as still or video photographers, trophies, gifts, party favors and corsages can also be arranged with prior notice.
Almond Resorts welcome groups of all sizes and offer top-notch services to make every event, gathering or gala a singular success. Whether it is business or pleasure or a combination of both, with incredible resources and an exceptional staff, Almond Resorts are the perfect setting for groups.
