The group enjoyed a private breakfast for 2 mornings, lunch from Seafood and Spaghetti Works, and a shrimp boil from Little Joe’s Smoke’n Grill.

February 16th, 2007Valentines Day Party

Written by Janie Riley-Front Desk Agent

Valentines Day was not just your usual holiday at Plantation Suites this year. Our General Manager, Monica Blackwell, utilized her extraordinary creative talents to present a celebration that has been referred to as a “phenomenal blow out”. 

Port Aransas has become a major destination for many Winter Texans who choose to leave their frigid climates and spend up to six months enjoying the beauty of our island and to meet with friends from all over the country who they have gotten to know over the years they have been coming.  The event was combined with a Chamber of Commerce Open House.

Monica orchestrated a “Bon Voyage” Party for all the Winter Texans combined with the Chamber function. Then she booked the most popular band enjoyed by the Winter Texans (The Medicare Band) and set up a delicious appetizer buffet by Little Joe’s Smoke’n Grill.  The staff distributed colorful announcements all over the island, and the word began to spread.  The party also recognized local mural artist James Brown.

The event was nothing but fantastic! All the guests were greeted at the front door and invited to tour several of our rooms.  While in the rooms, they were able to register for a free stay with one of our package deals or for a week stay next winter.  Then they gathered in our meeting room with all their friends to enjoy the wonderful music and food.  There were more than 200 people who attended.  It was a grand celebration and terrific exposure for the hotel.
