Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Reconnect those family ties with a summer reunion

Honey Harbour, Ont., - Honey Harbour, Ont., - Maybe we don’t call or email as often as we should. Perhaps we made up an excuse to miss grandmas birthday, and were out of town when the twins got married. Life is complicated, but that’s no excuse. Maybe this is the best time to consider a family get-together or reunion so spectacular that it’s one for the history books.

Most of us remember those lazy summer days, back yard barbeques and gatherings. We remember the laughter, good food and sharing stories, anecdotes and family history. We all have those funny group shots in our photo albums, where the wet dog ran in front of the crowd and shook! There are plenty of opportunities to make new, lasting memories. Now is the time to plan a family reunion and begin your planning.

To get organized, contact as many family members as possible with the idea and narrow down a date and location. Depending on the size of your gathering, you may want to plan as far as a year in advance. But if everyone’s game and ready to go, consider meeting at facility that meets all of your needs and eliminates all the worry, headaches and details that often get overlooked. From an overnight stay to a long weekend or week-long adventure, consider the options and breathtaking sights and sounds of a Muskoka retreat.

A family resort may be just what you’re looking for. The advantages are they offer extended stays for young and old, a host of daily activities and events. Resort amenities, entertainment and great food. Family members can gather daily to reconnect, but have their own time to enjoy the resort and of its creature comforts.

Search the web and compare resorts, features, amenities and activities. Start a family website to bring relatives together to share ideas, website links and information. Or start a network on a social networking page.

You’ll have to consider a wide range of needs, from the very young to the elderly and again, a resort may be the best option in terms of accessibility and range of services. Remember, it’s not a chore or a pain. You’re goal is to share an unforgettable experience, tailor-made to your family.

The Delawana Inn has been helping families make memories for more than a century. The 25-acre, park-like setting is situated on majestic Georgian Bay at historic Honey Harbour. It’s an award-winning, all-inclusive family resort with a host of activities, entertainment and water sports, along with a range of accommodation types to suit your needs.

Victoria Day - “Open the Shutters” Weekend

http://www.delawana.com/ontario/family/resort/news/Mar2012-Victoria-Weekend/

Thursday, April 05, 2012 Celebrate with a “diamond experience”.

Honey Harbour, Ont., - There’s something magical about a diamond.  If you’re born in April your birthstone is that precious gem, forged by nature, crafted by man.  We talk about “diamonds in the rough” - finding a real gem in amongst the mediocre pack.  When you find something like that it’s extra special.  Sometimes these natural wonders are in our own back yards, or within easy reach.

Most of us have visited that family vacation spot that sparkles and whose waters reflect the sunshine like a polished gem. They’re extra-special and unforgettable.  Those family memories are frozen in our minds and captured in photos and videos. We take out our albums from time to time, flip through the pages or digital files, smile, and relive the moments.  Like a flawless diamond, your favorite holiday spot is a keeper, something to be passed down from generation to generation.

The Delawana Inn is one of those gems. You can tell by the looks on the faces of returning guests - they wear their joy with pride, even show it off to friends.  Just like the surrounding natural features of beautiful Georgian Bay, The Del has been touched by nature and fine-tuned by staff who go out of their way to make your stay truly, one-of-a-kind.  From the pontoon boat cruises through the scenic channels to the family fun on the North Beach and everything in between, the Del is a perfect fit, a lasting memento of childhood discoveries, ear-to-ear smiles and unrivalled sunsets.  It’s priceless hospitality to be sure, where you’re treated like family.  Whether you’re planning a special occasion, family reunion or summer vacation, the Delawana Inn is one of those jewels you’ll be glad you found. Situated on 25 picturesque acres on Georgian Bay at Honey Harbour, The Delawana offers the gamut of summer holiday experiences - daily pontoon boat rides, fishing derbies, wildlife presentations, beach-front activities and all the water sports you can think of.

With pet-friendly accommodations, all-inclusive packages and award-winning children’s programs, The Del is a must-visit. Their accommodations complement the surroundings and offer a safe, comfortable “classic cottage” experience, which captures the essence of Muskoka.  The season is just beginning, so watch for Victoria Day weekend specials.

The Delawana Inn has been helping families make memories for more than a century.  2012 marks the resorts 115th birthday; and to celebrate, the general public, former guests and staff are invited to enjoy the facilities free of charge during the Delawanas’ Samuel De Champlain Day AND Canada Day celebrations.  Contests and prizes will be available to former guests and staff.  Help the Delawana Inn celebrate 115 years of creating firsts.  Call 1-888-335-2926 or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for details.
