SPINNAKER UPDATE WINTER 2024 - ORMOND BEACH
|
Dear Ormond Beach Spinnaker Owners,
I want to take this opportunity to thank all our Owners whose vacations were impacted by Hurricane Milton. It is never an easy decision to close our resorts when a storm is forecasted to affect our area. Whether you were staying with us and had to cut your vacation short, or you were scheduled to visit during our cleanup and repair efforts, we recognize the disappointment and inconvenience this caused. We are truly grateful for your patience, understanding, and compassion. We were overwhelmed by the messages we received during and after the storm, many of which focused on the well-being of our staff. You are the reason we love what we do, and we were thrilled to reopen our doors and welcome everyone back!
Speaking of our staff, in August, five team members were nominated and recognized by the Lodging and Hospitality Association of Volusia County with annual awards! We are incredibly proud of each recipient and look forward to nominating even more of our team next year. Did you know that when you mention an employee by name on your comment card, it counts as a vote toward our own Annual Owners’ Choice Award? If you have an outstanding experience with anyone on our team during your stay, be sure to “vote” for them by submitting a comment card. Please also remember to leave any comments or suggestions about the Resort facilities or your vacation experience so we can continue to improve our services and take care of your “home away from home.”
From all of us in Ormond Beach, we wish you and your families a magical and joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year. We can’t wait to create even more memories with you in 2025.
Kelly Hancock
General Manager
