OVERLAND PARK, KS. September 10, 2015 - Global Connections, Inc., the highly respected travel club developer, fulfillment and service provider, has announced that the Bamboo Beach Club in Clearwater Beach, FL has been named the Number One Small Inn on Clearwater Beach by TripAdvisor®. Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) began management of the popular resort in early 2015.
The two-story recently renovated "all-suite resort" is located in a quiet area of the beachfront community within walking distance to the ocean and the white sands of what the Travel Channel calls America's Best Family Beach.
The beach resort offers a mix of accommodation styles including studios, one- and two-bedroom suites, and private villa rooms that include mini-kitchens. Also on the property is a charming detached Coastal House with an intercoastal waterway view. The three-bedroom, two bath cottage includes a fully equipped kitchen, complete with stove, dishwasher and full-size refrigerator.
Clearwater Beach, Florida, an often requested locale by the members of GCI's travel club, Global Discovery Vacations, is a favorite year-round spot with an average of 361 days of sunshine every year and mild weather all year long.
In addition to its recognition as Best Small Inn on Clearwater Beach, the popularity of Bamboo Beach Club's family friendly atmosphere is also gaining momentum. As one TripAdvisor® reviewer put it:
"Most kid friendly Hotel Ever"
"I loved staying in the Bamboo Beach Club! I went with a girl friend of mine and our 4 kids. (They) graciously rearranged our rooms, so we would have adjoining rooms upstairs. We all had a BLAST! (They are) so kind. The hotel was clean. The pool was so fun and was kept nice and clean. The location is incredible. I'm so grateful that we chose to stay here for our trip. I was worried about having our kids all together, but the Bamboo Beach Club was so kid friendly. It made staying there stress free! Thank you!!! "
According to Dave Dawson, Vice President, Acquisitions and Development of Global Connections, "We provide both whole resort and individually owned vacation condo property management. Bamboo Beach Club is a perfect example of the excellent properties and vacation experiences we offer our members and guests. We are in the unique position of being a travel club with our own inventory.
