Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort Offers Special Safe Haven Program

In response to interest from residents in Texas in the expected path of Hurricane Ike, Sandestin® Golf and Beach Resort is offering a Safe Haven Reservation Program including special rates and accommodations.

Historically, Sandestin has been a refuge for people and families wanting to evacuate their homes in the path of storms. For example, during Hurricanes Gustav and Katrina, Sandestin was a safe and temporary residence for thousands of people.

The Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort Safe Haven Reservation Program includes discounted accommodations and a variety of free amenities. For people who book online directly on www.sandestin.com they will receive an added welcome gift and a special Sandollar Savings coupon book.

Groups like the American Red Cross recommend that people coordinate their evacuation plan in advance when possible.
