Amelia Island, FL-June 8, 2010 – Amelia Island Plantation, a popular vacation spot in northeast Florida, is providing vacationers with peace-of-mind by offering an oil-free guarantee to summer vacationers.
The oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico has caused some concern among summer vacationers bound for the Florida coast. Amelia Island Plantation has counteracted this concern by offering an oil-free guarantee.
The 3.5 miles of beaches surrounding Amelia Island Plantation continue to be unaffected by the oil spill and are open for avid beach goers.
Although it is unlikely, if the Florida Department of Environmental Protection closes the beaches Amelia Island Plantation will offer a full refund on deposits plus 20% off prevailing daily rates on a future stay within one full year.
If the beaches are closed during the guests’ stay because of the Deep Horizon oil spill, Amelia Island Plantation will credit the guest for the accommodation for the day(s) the beaches are closed.
“According to Dr. Peter Sheng from the University of Florida, the chance of Amelia Island being impacted by the oil spill is very unlikely. However, if our beach was affected, our guests would still find plenty to enjoy while staying at Amelia Island Plantation,” said Jack Healan, president of Amelia Island Plantation.
Amelia Island Plantation offers numerous amenities including 54 holes of golf, a full-service spa, 23 tennis courts, 20 pools, a state-of-the-art Health and Fitness center, nine dining opportunities and age-specific youth programs.
Amelia’s Oil Free Guarantee plus the numerous amenities and the coolest daytime temperatures in Florida, makes Amelia Island Plantation a great, worry free vacation spot.
Amelia Island Plantation is also aiding in cleanup efforts for the oil spill by donating hair trimmings from the Spa & Salon to make brooms for the cleanup effort.
Matter of Trust, establishing in 1998, is an ecological public charity that links ideas, sparks action and materializes flourishing systems. It concentrates on man-made surplus, natural surplus and eco-education.
