MARCO ISLAND — Get some while the turtles get some?
Florida’s Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort entices couples to “conceive while on vacation” with their Fertile Turtle package. As sea turtles are known as a symbol of fertility, lovebirds have the opportunity to “watch sea turtles eggs hatch, right on the resort’s very own three-mile stretch of beach, while trying to fertilize an egg of their own.” A portion of the package proceeds will benefit the Sea Turtle Monitoring & Protection Project of the Conservancy for Southwest Florida.
This grow-the-family getaway, which is only available during sea turtle mating season (now through October 31), starts at $399 per couple, per night and includes: a Gulf-view guestroom with a do not disturb sign, tea with natural pregnancy-enhancing qualities; couples massage with fertility-promoting aromatherapy; commemorative photo album to capture the memories of this special vacation.
Couples who conceive during their stay (and how will they know?) will provide a complimentary three-night stay for a return visit. Get to it! To book the Fertile Turtle Package, please call the Personal Vacation Planners at (800) GET-HERE. See www.marcoislandmarriott.com.
