Dear Wellness Seekers,

10 Favorite Things: Marriott’s Grand Hotel Wellness Seeker’s Delight highlights the experience Spanista enjoyed at this one of a kind hotel resort. It can be summed up in two words – Grand Traditions.

Wink, wink – Obviously this is not an original expression for this historic place as you can see by the title of the retrospective book pictured here. How could I ever come up with a richer description than this to describe the authenticity of this historical resort? It is perfect because it encapsulates the essence of how one feels at every turn – tradition is expressed and honored with deep reverence. As a result you feel you are part of something bigger – it permeates your soul. If you close your eyes you can image people, culture and social events unfolding of times gone past. A Spanista will feel charmed with self care I am sure!

I was so taken by our short holiday time here I had to take a copy of this book home to relive again through the beautiful photography and story. Marriott’s Grand Hotel, Point Clear Alabama has been a respite for some grand figures like Margaret Thatcher.

After I purchased it at the well-appointed gift shop I checked out Amazon.com and sure enough – there it is so you can buy “Grand Traditions” photo story book online too.

Here is hoping this photo essay will tell the story of my 10 Favorite Things: Marriott’s Grand Hotel Wellness Seeker’s Delight that I have not yet shared  – yes, there is so much to do here.

Top 10 Photo Summary: 1. Yacht Marina View from Suite; 2. Official Alabama Historical Story Marker; 3. Civil War Cannon Fires Everyday at 4 pm Ceremony; 4. Grand Spa Quiet Room; 5.

And for the true sports lover there are great golf courses, tennis courts, running paths, free bikes and a substantial indoor and outdoor pools along with a work out room overlooking the water.

I do hope you have an opportunity to visit this resort sometime – this is a Spanista Paradise. Experiencing Grand Traditions feeds the soul in such a grand way. Now it is time to say good-bye to it and I hope Spanista can return again to enrich my soul in the Spanista Winter Self Care Lifestyle way.

Do you have a favorite hotel or resort you feel deeply connected to? If not. maybe this is the year to find your Spanista Winter Spa Paradise on earth.

To Your 2015 Self Care Journey To Joy,
