I was
visiting Sea Island Resort in Georgia this weekend, where it has been a bumper
summer for this classy resort that boasts four Forbes Five-Star experiences: The
Cloister at Sea Island; The Lodge at Sea Island Golf Club; The Spa at Sea
Island; and the Georgian Room restaurant. Service is really slick here, due in
part to the charismatic leadership skills of James Gibson, a fellow Brit, and
Director of Operations. Attention to detail is applied to every service
encounter and even raptors are employed to enhance the dining experience for
guests. Staff can often be seen (see picture above) walking around with a bird
of prey on a gloved fist, the bird’s presence being a natural, and non-lethal
means of disrupting the aggressive behavior of blackbirds who can be a nuisance
while guest enjoy dining outside.
But Sea Island is not the only destination to enjoy record numbers of guests this year. Tourism has been buoyant elsewhere in the southeast, with hotel occupancy and average room rates up on last year in most resorts and hotels. A recovering economy and low gas prices have contributed to this increase, but of course we do offer excellent value for money and guaranteed sunshine!
