The palm-fringed, pasty-sand beaches of Fort Lauderdale attract devout sun worshipers from around the world, but something’s certainly missing – you! It’s time you don that fashionable swimsuit of yours and join them, but not without saving a heap of cash on accommodations. In celebration of Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa’s recent full-scale renovation (which came with a $50 million price tag), the luxury property is offering a Silver Anniversary package that includes a complimentary upgrade to an oceanfront room (valued at as much as $100), and $50 daily resort credit. This deal is valid through 2010 and rates start from $309/night. To book, visit www.marriott.com and enter the promotional code NCL.
