 | According to Project Time Off, American workers left a collective 662 paid vacation days on the table last year, therefore donating an average of $604 each to his or her employer. With recently renovated guest rooms, an all-new Waterfront restaurant and updates to outdoor amenities including refreshed pools, hot tubs, slides and splash pad, The Abbey Resort and Avani Spa invites hard working individuals and their families to avoid becoming a vacation statistic by instead taking full advantage of their paid time off with a getaway to the lake where they can relax, have fun and create memories to last a lifetime. |
“Taking time away from the office allows our brains to rest, our bodies to heal and our relationships to thrive,” said Sara Schmitz, Marketing Director of The Abbey Resort. “We understand that vacation days are a prized possession for hard working women, men and their families. We do everything we can to make our guests’ vacation days as relaxing, fun and memorable as possible by offering a variety of dining options, spa specials and programming activities.”
SEASONAL ACTIVITIES
Returning from last season due to popularity are guided lakeshore walks, offered weekday mornings. Guests gather in the resort lobby and proceed to enjoy either the South Lake Walk, offered Mondays and Wednesdays featuring fun facts about the lake and the many historic homes, or the North Lake Hike, offered Tuesdays and Thursdays highlighting historical and geographic facts about the area.
The newly refreshed outdoor pools, slides, hot tubs and splash pad are hit among guests of all ages during the summer months and The Abbey Resort’s Agents of Fun are ready to help one and all enjoy the poolside sunshine by leading games, crafts and activities such as Limbo contests, water balloon volleyball and diving contests each afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m. as part of Courtyard Escapades. The fun continues into the evening hours with bonfires, Starlight s’mores and a variety of movie showings ranging from early to late, indoor and outdoor.
