Sandpiper Bay: NOT for adults only
After undergoing a US$25 million transformation, Club Med Sandpiper Bay in Port St. Lucie, Florida re-opened this month as the “only all-inclusive family resort in the US,” backers say.
The 216-acre renovated Sandpiper Bay features two new restaurants, Slice Bar & Lounge, four swimming pools including an infinity pool exclusively for adults and a certified lap pool.
The resort also boasts a new conference center and meeting facilities as well as a water front wedding gazebo.
“Enhanced accommodations include spacious Deluxe Family Rooms offering separate bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms with space for the entire family,” according to a news release.
“Club Med reinvents the way children vacation by creating personalized experiences for kids of all ages from four months to 17 years old,” says a release.
New facilities for younger guests include a “Kidz Village,” with a splash park, an art center and a new lounge for juniors.
For adults, Sandpiper Bay has tennis, golf and fitness facilities. Coaches include Gabe Jaramillo, who trained Andre Agassi and Monica Seles.
