Boo! What a Spook-takular weekend! The FUN never stopped all week! Ghost and Goblins, Witches and Warlocks and Saints and Sinners danced to the theme costume parties every night with great music from DJ's Bob and Caribbean Jack, Scary-Oke with Al Messina and live music from Fred Chandler, Nunes at Night and the Money Penny Band. Volunteer FUN specialists Karen and John kept the crowds entertained and energized every day with poolside games and contests (we definitely liked that "Best Butt") and PL Hemingway's and Key West kept all the tricksters plied with great food and drinks (I had the "Bloody Eyeballs" washed down with a "Vampires Kiss"...yummy!). Saturday night brought out all that is crazy and wonderful about Paradise as the costumes just kept getting better and better as the night went on. Congrats go out to the winners, The Wizard of Oz, The Exterminators and The Swamp Thing! Also appreciated were the Bubble Gum Machine, Neptune and the Mermaid, Dr. Connen Lingus, The Save Our Planet, Knocked Up Bride and so many, many more. Check out the first installment of pictures, with more to follow through out the week. The FUN went on long after the bar closed down, with a "Witches Cauldron" BUBBLE PARTY well into the night. Sunday morning started early as Grace led an enthusiastic water aerobics class in the main pool, as other guests and members lazed over a leisurely breakfast buffet in PL Hemingway's. Everyone poolside joined in "Deal Or No Deal" (we want to know who was that sexy brunette "babe" with the prominent adam's apple?) and the FUN and games continued all day. After another superb dinner from PL Hemingway's and dancing under the stars poolside to the live music, the weekend concluded with a hot n' steamy "Satan's Spring's" BUBBLE PARTY as Paradise proves once again, no one knows how to Party like Paradise. That was our weekend…how was Yours?. 

Spa Paradise is adding Body Treatments to their menu, featuring a Rose Mud Wrap and an Herbal Salt Glow and Stephanie from Lakeside is now offering Ashiastu Massage, poolside. Contact the Spa at 813-949-9327 ext 342 or 357 and ask for Jeanie to book your appointment.
