Welcome to my blog and thanks for having a read through. Here you will be able to enjoy our latest musings on Wine, occasionally a beer, Hotels or Resorts and from time to time some random thoughts on ...well, just life in general; Each month will be different; one month I may shed some light on a Resort, or Hotel recently visited, another month share a few cents cents on a terrific wine (I may have sampled...extensively), beer or spirit that I have tried, and  to liven things up a bit further, every couple of months or so we will feature a guest blogger with their own shine on things. It could be a hotelier or meeting professional opining, but whomever it is, it will be a friend with the intention of turning a light on about somewhere or something really cool. This blog is written with the intent of having a bit of fun, sharing a nugget or two you may not have known and most importantly bringing you a smile, or maybe even a good laugh.

Enjoy!

Like your "go to" Jeans

Do you own a pair of "go to" jeans, the best, your favorites? They fit perfectly, look great, always perform the way you want them to and have back pockets that are actually pockets without trying to look like a Jackson Pollack in thread. They make you feel good, and you always want to go back to them.

There are 249 rooms at the Inn, divided between the eight Ocean Front Houses and the Main Inn. The rooms are large, quite comfortable, well thought out and in immaculate condition.  

However, the real clincher lies just out the back door... pop it open, take four steps forward and you are smack on 26 miles of white sand beach overlooking the Atlantic, stunning.

As far as events go, the Inn has a considerable conference capacity for its 249 rooms. With 25,000 square feet of newly renovated Indoor event space the Inn is ideal for all manner of meetings from exhibitions to Incentives, and everything in between. The Inn and the staff at Ponte Verda handle them all with the same grace and ease that has kept them at AAA Five Diamond status year after year

Stepping into the lobby you will immediately notice the Inn's gentility, along with its complete lack of pretense. It's sincere, warm and welcoming, and makes you feel much more like you have stepped into a sumptuously decorated home than a hotel.

The Inn does not scream at you, "look at me, look at me, aren't I magnificent"! Rather, it opens its arms, smiles wide and warmly speaks, " I am happy you are here". It begins to spin its charm on your drive in when you pass holes 16 and 18 on the acclaimed Ocean course (a must play, and one of my all-time favorites), quite beautiful. Up, just a little further is the Porte Cochere and check in. Not overbearing, quaint and well staffed at any given time by at least three valets.

Outside the boardroom, the Inn has much to offer, a stunning spa, Beach Club and pools, fifteen Har-Tru tennis courts, two championship golf courses and outdoor activities that would satisfy everyone from the causal sheller to the most ardent outdoor enthusiast.

Whether you're looking for a fabulous getaway for some fun in the sun, an amazing event or a combination of both, make your way to the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, it's like slipping into your favorite pair of jeans.

Cheers

The Inn and Club at Ponte Vedra Beach is the hotel version of my favorite pair of jeans. After concluding a series of very successful meetings with them over the course of years I can say without dispute they are an absolute "go to".
