Ultimate Escapes Members Submitting Their Favorite Vacation Experiences

One of the main attractions of joining a destination club is the ability to travel with family and friends, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Ultimate Escapes is asking members to recall their most treasured memories with the club as part of their Member Vacation Contest.

The world's second largest destination club in terms of members and the largest in terms of total destinations, there is an abundance of source material and dozens have already entered their most cherished memories for the contest.

One of the most notable submissions already received by the club pertains to one of Ultimate Escapes' most popular destinations: La Buscadora.

"While I have had many fantastic vacations with the various Ultimate Escapes properties, one certainly stands out in my mind. My good friend Paul took time out of his life over a 2 year period to mentor me on the building of a cedar strip canoe. It was a labor of love that created a masterpiece of cedar, ash and mahogany. In looking for a way to repay such a generous favor, I took him for a week on La Buscadora."

"For a wooden boat nut such as him (and me), admiring the fantastic watercraft was only the beginning. The hospitality, the sites we cruised to, the food; just the whole atmosphere was one of being truly pampered beyond anything I have ever experienced. Captain Mike is a true gentleman and a perfect host. His staff are absolutely first rate. Plus he is a certified diving instructor who taught Paul to dive, and we dove almost every day including 100 foot dives to underwater wrecks of tug boats, mail ships and even a commercial airliner."

"Since there are 3 cabins, I took my parents who learned to snorkel for the first time in their late 70's, and who truly enjoyed every minute of the cruise. They were worried about sleeping on a boat, and what they would do, but this is truly a trip for every level of activity. You can stay on the boat, go ashore, dive, swim, snorkel, kayak, and even water-ski. Thanks to Ultimate Escapes and Captain Mike for such a memorable, fantastic week of my life; certainly one of the best I have ever spent."

Based on the surplus of submissions, Ultimate Escapes has elected to extend the contest until the end of the month. Three winners will be selected and winners will receive an iPad, iPod Touch, or Kindle Reader.

Christmas may be months off, but iPads seem to be the gift of the season. Last month, members of Exclusive Resorts were encouraged to submit a video of their travels for the club's Share Your World contest. The first ten submissions were all entered into a drawing for an iPad with the winner receiving theirs shortly thereafter.

Ultimate Escapes has been quick to reward their loyal members as of late, even sending select lucky members to the NFL Draft. If you would like to learn more about the various benefits of Destination Club Membership, request a free copy of our Destination Club Guide.
