Tuesday, May 11, 2010 Kick-Start Your Summer in May at the Delawana Inn Spa & Conference Resort

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Honey Harbour, Ontario - Canadians have a deep-rooted love affair with the first unofficial launch of the summer season - the anticipated May 24 long weekend.
It’s more than just a rite of passage. We hearty Canucks trade in our sweatshirts for muscle shirts; shorts and sandals become our standard attire from now until Labour Day.

May Two-four as it’s affectionately known, is set aside to honour the birth of Queen Victoria (1819-1901), as well as paying tribute to the current reigning monarch. Queen Victoria’s reign of 63 years, 7 months makes her the longest-serving female monarch in history and she’s the most commemorated British monarch in history. It has been observed long before Canada was actually formed. This year, the holiday Monday happens to fall exactly on May 24. While considered a Canadian statutory holiday, it’s also observed in some parts of Scotland.

Taking the first plunge of the season, chilly as that may seem, is a May 24 tradition. The weekend is marked by outdoor festivals, events and firework displays across the country. It’s a time when most venture to their cottages for the first time, swinging open the shutters and dusting off the dock furniture. It’s a time when our country cracks one, huge collective smile, because summer is knocking on our door!

The Delawana Spa & Conference Resort on beautiful Georgian Bay knows all about jumping, head-first off the end of the dock to welcome summer. The resort kicks into high gear, welcoming new guests and old friends this Victoria Day weekend, with many specials.

Their Victoria Day Weekend (May 21-24) offers great pricing, meals and a full slate of activities. With rates starting at $390 per person (double occupancy), you can be one of the first to usher in summer at The Del. The weekend features three nights accommodation, three meals per day, supervised children’s activities, daily cruises, evening entertainment and a full social calendar. Two children per family, 15 and under stay free, so why not make this a family affair?

The Delawana offers many unique spring two-to-four-night packages, running May 24 through June 25. From golf and spa packages, why not treat yourself to an unforgettable experience at one of Ontario’s premier resorts?

The resort property, ideal for family vacations and special events, boasts beautiful gardens and landscaped grounds in a perfect waterfront setting. The large dock system is ideal for fishing, relaxing and watching that postcard Georgian Bay sunset.

The Delawana Inn Spa & Conference Resort has been voted the best summer resort in Canada for the past five years, by City Parent Magazine readers. Voting is under way for this year’s online Readers Selection Awards. Simply visit www.cityparent.com to register your votes and for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.

The Del, as it’s affectionately known, is a family friendly resort offering great beaches and a large pool, outdoor adventure courses, use of canoes and kayaks, basketball and tennis courts, hikes on Royal Island and Georgian Bay Islands National Park, daily pontoon boat cruises, a trek to nearby Beausoleil Island, as well as golf clinics, adult mixers, billiards, shuffleboard, a lineup of nightly entertainment and some of the best food around, courtesy of executive chef Krista Weston. The Del is also known for its babysitting and Supervised children’s programs.

The rooms are spacious, ideal for children sharing with their parents, and maintain a rustic tradition in the style of classic Ontario resorts. House rental options offer families a more independent stay and come well equipped.

“The Delawana vacation package provides one of the best value vacations in Ontario,” says Jeff Cowan, operations manager at the Delawana.
