nearly $10 million, the suites’ new look emphasizes the resort’s spirit of gracious Southern hospitality combined with the charm of the Gulf Coast lifestyle.
The project turned out really well, said Brandon Dardeau, vice president of marketing, and will help the property continue to attract guests from all over the country, as well as internationally.
