Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) Beso Del Sol Appreciates Guests and Shows It!

Beso Del Sol Resort (Dunedin, FL), owned and managed by Global Connections, Inc. (GCI), is regarded by many to be the best boutique resort in the Tampa Bay area. GCI, the highly respected travel club developer, fulfillment and service provider, owns and manages six resorts in popular vacation destinations. One of these resorts, GCI’s Beso Del Sol, is located waterfront on the Gulf Coast overlooking St. Joseph Sound. The charm and hospitality of “Old Florida” makes this destination a year-round paradise and a picturesque site for special occasions.

The popular resort does not rest on its “location” laurels as the only draw for Global Discovery Vacations members and guests.

“We know our wonderful location is one of our greatest attractions for both members and guests,” said Dave Dawson, GCI’s Vice President, Acquisitions and Development. “What we are also proud of is our Guest and Member Appreciation events as well as unique activities to entertain the folks who are staying with us.”

During harsh winters in the northern states, the warm Florida sun brings “snowbirds” to the Dunedin area. In the spring, Beso Del Sol Resort is buzzing with the excitement of nearby Toronto Blue Jays/Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training games. Throughout these busy months in particular, Beso Del Sol hosts Manager’s Ice Cream Socials and other spontaneous get-togethers. A popular activity is the sea glass jewelry making class.

Dave also wears another hat and becomes “Captain Dave” as he takes the helm on “Beso Day” aboard the “Caladesi Island Connection”. The local ferry boat sails from Honeymoon Island to Caladesi Island (which is joined by land to Clearwater Beach), shuttling over 100,000 visitors per year.

The very popular Beso Del Sol is unique in that it accommodates Global Discovery Vacations members as well as transient guests visiting from all over the United States. In addition to Beso Del Sol Resort in Dunedin, Global Connections owns and operates Beso Del Sol (Sunset Beach, CA), White Oak Lodge and Resort (Gatlinburg, TN), Sea Shells Beach Club (Daytona Beach, FL), and Lodge by The Blue (Breckenridge, CO). GCI also leases and manages scores of vacation condominium units all over the continental United States and Hawaii, as well as Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico. About Global Connections, Inc.
