Not only will Derek be returning to the studio, but the show is going to be a 2-hour extravaganza! The Jersey Shore summer season may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy beautiful beaches. Just slightly over an hour flight from Philadelphia International Airport is Bermuda. We’ll chat with Grotto Bay Beach Resort General Manager Rob De Bekker. They are Bermuda’s only resort offering an All-Inclusive supplement. The resort sits on a lush tropical estate featuring dramatic caves along the water’s edge in Bailey’s Bay. Scattered over 21 acres and sloping down toward two private beaches are 11 colorful cottages in traditional Bermudian architecture overlooking the clear turquoise waters dotted with small islands. Swim in the shallow waters off their private pink sand beach, in the freshwater pool, or languish in the outdoor Jacuzzi situated among a lush garden above the beach. Sail, snorkel, paddle board, dive ancient wrecks or explore the delicate coral reefs. Grab an early morning fishing charter, take a cruise on a sunny afternoon or a glorious sunset sail right from thier dock. Play tennis night or day, work out in their ocean-front gym or get pampered in their 500,000-year-old cave spa. The resort is conveniently located within five minutes of two of Bermuda’s finest golf courses and the L.F. Wade International Airport. If you want to go South for your beach experience, then about 4 hours non-stop from PHL is Aruba - One Happy Island. We’ll talk with Richard Roy the General Manager of Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino. In addition to Eagle Beach, one of the Top 10 beaches in the world, Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino is nearby with a myriad of entertainment options, numerous attractions, live cultural events and, of course, the best dining experiences. Their resort is just a short stroll to the white sands of Eagle Beach and centrally located in Aruba’s low-rise district, tucked away from the crowds in a quiet setting. You can make Aruba your home away from home as all of their suites all include kitchenettes. If you don’t want to leave, there is still plenty to do around Philadelphia.
