Disney World-Area Resort to Open On-Site Water Park CONTACT Jessica Milton BENCHMARK, a global hospitality company 786-714-6268 [email protected] DISNEY WORLD-AREA RESORT TO OPEN ON-SITE WATER PARK MARCH 1st, ADD NEW RESIDENTIAL-STYLE SUITES The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando launches its on-site Surfari Water Park with multiple water slides, dual-rider surf simulator, lazy river ORLANDO, FLA (FEBRUARY 12, 2018) --- The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando today announces the opening date for its highly anticipated Surfari Water Park: Thursday, March 1, 2018. The March 1st launch brings with it the unveiling of the park’s key features, including two water slides, a winding lazy river, and a dual-rider surf simulator. Later in the month, Surfari will introduce a toddler play area; the park’s on-site restaurant, Longboard Bar & Grill, will follow in April. The addition of this new on-site amenity will mark the introduction of The Grove’s signature recreation experience, helping to cement the resort as one of Orlando’s top family-centric destination hotels located just three miles from the Western Way entrance of Walt Disney World. Surfari Water Park becomes The Grove’s final piece to the already extensive lineup of activities, amenities, and all-suite residential-style accommodations that first rolled out in March 2017 during the resort’s initial opening phase. Set on its own parcel of the 106-acre resort and separate from The Grove’s three existing swimming pools where a more subdued experience can be enjoyed, Surfari Water Park is designed as an all-day destination exclusively for hotel guests. With multiple options for sliding, surfing, swimming, and dining, Surfari will give Grove visitors another reason to hang back from area theme parks for a day of fun in the sun: both children and adults can shoot through Surfari’s two twisting tube slides, challenge friends to catch a wave on the dual-rider surf simulator, float through nearly 700 feet of winding lazy river, or, for the smallest guests, splish and splash in the specially designated toddler zone. To commemorate the opening of Surfari Water Park, The Grove rolls out its Surf’s Up package. Priced from $160 per night when booking by March 31, 2018 for travel between now and September 3, 2018, the package includes the following: • Nightly accommodations in a two or three-bedroom suite • One half-hour lesson on Surfari’s surf simulator • One complimentary inner tube rental per registered guest for the full length of stay • $25 resort credit The Grove’s continued expansion also includes the addition of more than 280 suites to the resort’s existing inventory of two and three-bedroom accommodations. With comparable layouts and upgraded finishes, this new group of suites, like the others, offers all the best aspects of home: ample space and privacy for families or groups; private bedrooms and bathrooms; living and dining areas; full kitchens; screened balconies; and full-size washers and dryers. All accommodations at The Grove provide access to the resort’s full breadth of activities and amenities, including The Springs swimming pools with a zero-entry area; the full-service Escape Spa and fitness center; kayaking, fishing, and paddle boats at Lake Austin Pier; children’s activities center and dedicated recreation team; five dining and drink venues; and Surfari Water Park. The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando is owned by a joint venture between certain affiliates of Westport Capital Partners and BTI Partners, with BTI Partners as the development partner. Houston, Texas-based BENCHMARK®, a global hospitality company, will manage the property as part of its signature Benchmark Resorts & Hotels portfolio. The Grove Resort & Spa is located at 14501 Grove Resort Avenue, Orlando, Florida 34787. Toll free: 1-844-203-0209. Local: 407-545-7500. www.GroveResortOrlando.com. About The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando The Grove Resort & Spa Orlando opened its first phase in March 2017 as an expansive 106-acre hotel destination located just minutes from the west entrance of Walt Disney World®. Set on Lake Austin and amid a portion of Central Florida’s conservation grounds, the resort is a sanctuary from the boisterous pace of the outside world, neighboring theme parks, luxury shopping, and entertainment centers. Nearly 300 of The Grove’s 878 residential-style suites are currently open – each with a full kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, multiple bathrooms, and screened patio – offering guests all the comforts of home, while the resort’s hearty collection of amenities deliver the luxuries of a full-service resort. Guests enjoy three swimming pools, a selection of watersports at The Grove’s Lake Austin Pier, the intimate Escape Spa, fitness center, a children’s activities area, as well as food and drink options that include the large-scale grab-and-go-style Alfresco Market, Element and Zest lounges, the poolside Springs Bar & Grill, and a fusion of Italian, French, and Spanish cuisine at the resort’s main restaurant, Valencia. The Grove’s signature Surfari Water Park opens on March 1, 2018 with an interactive water structure with multiple slides, a lazy river stretching almost 700 feet, and a dual rider surf simulator; its own poolside eatery, Longboard Bar & Grill, is planned for April 2018. 6,000 square feet of flexible space is available for weddings, family reunions, and other meetings and special events.

    NEWS RELEASE Media Contact: Lupe Hirt, MindSpeak PR 303.8591762 | [email protected] 10 Things The Gant Condominiums Does to Make Vacationing in Aspen Environmentally Exceptional Aspen Snowmass ranks as one of America’s Most Eco-Friendly Ski Resort Towns ASPEN, Colo. – June 18, 2019 – Being green should be more than just the basics. Keeping in step with Aspen Skiing Company, a longtime leader for its climate change advocacy and forward-thinking environmental operations, The Gant Condominiums is one of Aspen’s most eco-friendly condominium vacation resort. This month, the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence winner became the first resort in Aspen to install a Mitsubishi Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner system, one of the most energy efficient, advanced, and innovative ductless mini split systems in the market today. In addition to the new air conditioner system, The Gant has incorporated several other eco-friendly practices and guest experiences into the resort that help offset the impact of travel to Aspen. 1. Turn up the AC guilt-free. The resort chose this HVAC model because of its energy efficient inverter-driven compressor and because 83 percent of the assembled parts are derived from recyclable materials. 2. Phasing out single-use plastics. Pepperjacks Café will be doling out beverages with stainless steel and gluten free HAY cocktail straws this summer. Communal water stations will feature biodegradable cups and the front lobby is currently stocked with complimentary reusable shopping bags that guests can take before hitting the town. 3. Recycle a book. Two Little Free Libraries are located on property and are filled with books donated by resort staff and guests.
