A Family Affair
Wallet-friendly family packages mean children eat free, stay free and golf free during their stay. And if your clan includes a fur baby, they stay free as well. In Charlottetown, PEI there’s an extra special Rodd Royalty property that’s a popular family favourite. Located in the heart of everything—from nearby beaches to shops—there’s much fun to be had at the hotel’s glass- enclosed swimming pool, 32-metre waterslide, and the Games Zone for kids of all ages. In Nova Scotia, the waterfront Rodd Grand Yarmouth has adjoining suites for extra space and nearby adventures like stargazing, a trip to Tusket Islands to learn about spies and buried treasure, a climb up Cape Forchu Lighthouse, or a visit to the Firefighters’ Museum of Nova Scotia. In New Brunswick at the Rodd Moncton, the world-famous tidal bore is front and centre, while attractions like a waterpark, butterfly gardens, the zoo and Magnetic Hill keep little ones entertained.
Just the Two of You
Need a reset? Get away to the Rodd Charlottetown and channel the ele- gance of the 1930s with its grand lobby and upscale accommodation, some with fireplaces and soaker tubs. Browse through quaint shops, or take in a show at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. The nearby five-star Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort and luxurious Rodd Brudenell River Resort have all you need for a relaxing retreat with on-site spas, picturesque cot- tages with sweeping views and nature trails that beg to be explored. In New Brunswick, couples can relax at the Rodd Miramichi’s riverside location and do nothing or enjoy all this urban resort has to offer with tubing, world-class fishing, kayaking, and hiking trails at its doorstep.
Tee Time
PEI is a golf lover’s paradise with over 30 golf courses making the diminu- tive province home to the most courses per capita in Canada. And, Rodd Resorts is home to three of the province’s top-rated courses. The Links
at Crowbush Cove is a “must play,” ranked 6th in the country by Score Magazine for its challenging greens and expansive vistas of the dunes and ocean. The Brudenell River Golf Course is heralded as the Island’s most popular and has hosted golf tournaments, while Dundarave Golf Course is a red sandstone 18-hole championship course with fairways that meander through stunning terrain. Junior golfers play free with an adult at all Rodd hotel courses. DS
