WINTER 2020 SPINNAKER UPDATE

A GRATEFUL MESSAGE FOR HILTON HEAD OWNERS:

As we approach this Thanksgiving season we can't help but look back at a year unlike any other in memory. At a time when we typically find ourselves contemplating all the reasons we are grateful, we may at first struggle to find the positives of 2020. With the gift of clarity, we find there is much to be grateful for. We have taken "quality time" with our partners and children to a whole new level. We have learned to appreciate technology as we enjoy video chats with family and friends far and near. We have rediscovered the restorative power of long walks in the glorious outdoors. Most of all, we find ourselves grateful for the relationships we now see as instrumental to our daily happiness. It is through adversity that we become stronger. At Spinnaker we have felt our strength tested, but have come out all the more committed to our relationship with our guests and Owners and to the vision of our future together.

We feel fortunate that our dedicated team was ready and able to meet the broad challenges that Covid-19 brought us. Your patience during the national shutdown, your voiced concerns for the health and wellness of our Spinnaker staff, as well as your trust that we instituted the proper measures and procedures to keep you and your loved ones safe once you returned to us was greatly felt and appreciated. It is with great pleasure and gratitude that we once again "welcome home" all of our Spinnaker Families and even though we may be physically distanced, we are still all together.

From all of us at Spinnaker Resorts we wish a happy and healthy Thanksgiving to you and all you hold dear.

Sincerely,
Alexis Bairstow
East Regional GM

Enjoy the holiday season and Christmas lights with us in Hilton Head

#spinnakercares in action
With the holiday season upon us we wanted to take a moment and say thank you. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the people who have been affected by the coronavirus and we greatly appreciate the healthcare workers, local communities, and governments who are working to contain this virus. We also want to thank you, our Owners for your patience this past year.

At Spinnaker Resorts, we care about your safety and continually strive to bring you peace of mind while you enjoy your vacation. In these unprecedented times and with the incredible speed at which things have been changing around us, we wanted to reassure you of our commitment to your safety and wellbeing while vacationing with us through our new initiative, #spinnakercares.

The safety of our Owners, Guests and Employees remains our top priority so we are taking every precaution necessary to mitigate the spread of the virus (Covid-19). We focus everyday on safety so you can enjoy time away with your loved ones. Learn about all the new procedures currently being implemented at Spinnaker Resorts to keep you and your family safe by checking out our new Health & Sanitation Plan on the Owner's website. We hope to see you soon and remember: #spinnakercares


At Spinnaker Resorts we take our obligation to operate in an earth friendly and responsible way seriously. Our resorts are all located in sensitive and beautiful environments. We understand our business activities impact the earth and the lives of others. That's why we have made an effort for many years to reduce our impact on the land around us, operate in a sound ecological way and work with our suppliers and local communities to source responsibility.

We have worked hard to recycle, reduce our waste and divert it from landfills:
  • We have active recycling programs at all of our resorts and use compostable and reusable cups, plates and utensils in our corporate offices and for our resort activities
  • We have moved to electronic billing to reduce paper waste
We participate in new and innovative local programs that contribute to the wellness of our environment:
  • Our naturalists on staff encourage active participation in turtle patrols on the beach and other wildlife programs, workshops and lectures throughout the year
  • We have set up new Electric Vehicle charging stations in Ormond Beach and Hilton Head
  • We have replaced gas guzzling maintenance vehicles with electric carts
We have implemented sustainable procurement practices to source responsively:
  • We don't just dispose of old furniture into a landfill. It is donated to local charities or sent to recycling centers
  • We work with suppliers who recycle their packing materials, have converted manufacturing plants to LED lighting and work to consume less energy in the manufacturing process just to name a few practices they implement
More and more people have become concerned with the impact humans have on the environment. We are empowering our regions and key stakeholders to cultivate a community that prioritizes the health of our environment and enables our resort locations to coexist with nature in a harmonious way.
Through the year we are always busily sprucing up the properties for your enjoyment. Every year millions of dollars are spent on improving your properties. From new paint to new furniture, from upgraded Wi-Fi services to replacement bathroom fixtures, all of our resorts have seen improvements in one way or another this past year. In this section we will feature significant resort improvements from your home region..
