The Destination of George's Sea Island

By Chris Linch

What makes for a great retreat and vacation destination? One of the best resorts in the world, of course. A place that gives you a feeling of floating in air surrounded by care and comfort. Well, what do you know? Georgia's Sea Island, the Cloister & the Lodge, prime amongst the world's best hotels, offers this magnificent experience and much more. Soak your sights in the lovely beaches surrounding this resort, while basking in its mellow sunsets and taking in its soft and plushy marshes.

The Sea Island in Georgia is great for families who keep coming back to avail of its programs for children and signature events. Step inside the premises and even a rank newcomer is made to feel at home, right away, in one of the worlds best luxury hotels. Its enormous lobby showing off well-lighted arches, palms, and a la mode chandeliers is a tribute to taste and style. In existence for the last eight decades it continues to enthrall generations of repeat visitors. And no wonder: all of its 175 units are of world standard and class. Each room (called a river view room) is 700 square feet wide housing a range of great amenities.

For entertainment purposes switch on the LCD HD TV with a screen that is 45 inches wide. If you have work to do or simply wish to browse the net you can have access to either wired or wireless internet services. A well-appointed bathroom comes with a bath tub that is really deep and a separate rain shower overhead. There are also handmade Turkish towels that are extremely comfortable. Even prettier in one of the worlds best luxury hotels are the River and Cloister View suites which are 950 square feet wide with a choice of two queen beds or one king bed. The cloister view suites look into well-tended cloister gardens. If you happen to check in during the winter months you would love the fireplace of the Sea Island suite.

You would also have a library to yourself along with a private balcony. Guests who check into the Ocean Villas room and suites consider the Sea Island to be one of the best resorts in the world owing to the feeling of supreme they foster. The villas all come with an open kitchen, more than one bedroom suite (if desired), and more than one bathroom. The suites vary in width from 1,170 to 3,274 square feet. In order to relax and unwind few things are better than the Mobil Five-Star Cloister Spa and Fitness Center with its 23 exclusive treatment rooms, all offering a range of mineral cosmetics, massages, and relaxation techniques.

The dining experience at the Sea Island resort is something else altogether if you enjoy southern flavors, that is. The Georgian Room, for instance, features exotic recipes from the chef's ladle like smoked butter poached shrimps and butter pea succotash. For lunch do try the Chicken Grumpo soup at Big George's. This king among the world's best hotels has a lot to be recommended for. - 30230
