Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in Islamorada, Florida Keys is 'Buzzing' with Activity...as 'Busy Bees Begin Beautification' Projects!!!

Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in beautiful Islamorada in the Florida Keys has been 'buzzing' with activity as workers begin beautification projects. As we are in what we refer to as 'the slow season', it is the perfect time (and perfect weather) to take on this task. At right, vacationers enjoy floaters pool by the Atlantic Ocean 'before' its makeover. Scroll through the pictures below to see 'the happenings of the past week'.



Piles and piles of sand were trucked into the resort to beautify our beach. This was quite the project and our engineering department worked 'hard in the heat' to spread the sand over our many beach areas.














At right, our own Director of Operations, Mr. Ed Kinkelaar, jumped into the 'hot seat' to help spread the sand. It was truly a 'Team' effort. (TEAM is one of Holiday Isle's mottos...Together Everyone Achieves More).



At left, and below, the new facelift to the entrance of Floaters pool.


























At right, one of the main beach areas with freshly spread sand.







The pool was drained, repaired, painted, and has a fresh new look. It appears that the 'Seagulls' enjoyed the pool while it was taped off during the 'sealing' process.









At right, 'Kokomo's', of song, got a fresh new 'Keys' look as workers painted the bandshell and tables.












A look at 'Rumrunners' beach with its new sand as vacationers enjoy a dip in the ocean.











The Marina Fuel dock is up and ready to fuel with its new digital fuel pumps and a fresh coat of paint.













The Chevron Station/Mini Mart is also fueling again with its new fuel pumps and fresh look.












We had a 'return' visitor to the Holiday Isle Marina this past week. Little 'Rumrunner', born at the Marina and nicknamed by our staff, returned this past week with his Mom and Dad. He has grown about 2 feet and had fun romping around and showing off for our guests.












Vacationers enjoy a 'cool' drink at the Tiki Bar to escape the heat of the past week. It was in the 90's all week.












Visitors were impressed with the 'new look' of Floaters pool as they enjoyed a cool drink poolside and had fun in the water. Such a beautiful view!!!!













Relaxing in the sun and 'new sand' at the beach in front of Floaters Pool. We have added new Coconut Palms and landscaping which adds to the beauty 'by the sea'.











Visitors, on the way to the Tiki Bar, stop to wave for the camera. The gentleman on the right is visiting from Rome, Italy, and his friend is from Brazil. Holiday Isle is a favorite spot for many foreign tourists.










As we say goodbye to another week at 'The Isle', we leave you with yet another beautiful sunset overlooking our Offshore Fishing Charter Fleet in the Marina. It doesn't get any better than this!!
