Creating Memories - WTS

With activities ranging from rock climbing and performing to DJing and photo editing, WTS’s two holiday programmes should keep even the pickiest child and teenager happy


For many years, WTS provided recreational services, activities and programmes for residential communities that wanted to have a broad array of programmes for their residents. It became evident over time that many hotels and resorts also had a desire to provide similar services, activities and events for their guests. Our RESORTlife™ division is focused on executing management and consulting services specifically for resorts, timeshares, and hotels that are targeting the leisure traveller.

RESORTlife™ experts are committed to creating delineative experiences that transform the traditional activities and amenities department into a business unit that creates lasting memories that drive repeat business, brand loyalty, and name recognition.

Two of our programmes under the RESORTlife umbrella include the AquaNuts™ and Coast™ programmes offered at The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach in Florida, US.

AquaNuts™ provides a variety of supervised physical and creative activities designed especially for children aged five to 12. This uniquely-designed facility has an underwater theme, and is all about discovery and creativity, both indoors and outdoors.

For children who enjoy activity, the facility has a dedicated playroom, an ‘underwater’, glow-in-the-dark cave with a rock climbing wall, Wii and Playstation games, and an interactive pirate ship to explore. Those who are more creative can work on ArtNuts projects, use Mac computer stations, create their own stuffed animal with the AnimalNuts programme or take the stage in the performing arts sand castle theatre. Other activities include swimming, nature hikes, YogaNuts, movies and games. Lastly, a day at AquaNuts™ is not complete without a visit to the Pucker Power candy station. 

Coast™ sets itself apart as the new model for teen programming at the resort level for ages 13 to 17. This first-of-its-kind teen lounge offers amenities like a fully-operational DJ booth, Mac work stations, a teen beauty salon (Beauty@Coast), and several different lounge areas. Guests at Coast™ can create their own DJ mix to upload to an iPod, participate in professional-level photo shoots in the studio, and edit photos and videos to send to friends. Teens who just want to hang out and relax can play pool or Guitar Hero by day, or enjoy dancing, glow parties, and movies with Coast@Night.

AquaNuts™ and Coast™ are not just offered for family vacations, they also reach locals by providing Summer Camp programming. AquaNuts™ and Coast™ truly have something to suit every child, teenager and family.
