 Chances are your daily routine already involves a lot of swinging. You swing by school to pick up the kids. You swing by the grocery store and wonder what’s for dinner. You swing by the drive through on your way to work for a cup of coffee.
But that’s not the kind of swinging that brings joy. When you vacation at Caribe Resort in Orange Beach, we can introduce you to some fun swinging.
Start with a forceful backhand swing on one of our three lighted tennis courts. The stress of your hectic life will fade away with each swing. Racquets and balls are available at the on-site front desk.
Next a controlled swing is called for as you master your putt on your 10,000 square-foot Tiff Eagle putting green. For more golf swinging action, try out the artificial 18-hole course located on the upper deck, near the lazy river. You can pick up putters and balls at the front desk.
Whether you enjoy the tennis courts or the golfing action at Caribe, you’ll definitely notice a swing in your step and a smile on your face as you relax and unwind on your Alabama Gulf Coast vacation.

 See Blue Bedroom Tell winter to take a hike. Tell scenes of gray skies and banks of snow that you are ready for some vibrant color in your life!
Then tell your family or tell your sweetheart – it’s time to ramp up the color palette with a vacation in Orange Beach at Turquoise Place. Heck, in just the names alone we’ve already injected a brighter spirit.
As you arrive at Turquoise Place, you can’t help but be transformed by the namesake color that envelops the structures. It creates an energy, a commitment that gray and bland just won’t be allowed on this vacation.
When you first enter your luxurious accommodations, chances are at first you won’t notice a single thing inside. Your eyes and your soul will be drawn to the doors that lead to your balcony. Ahhh – color splash! It’s the bright blue sky that reaches down to meet the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Glancing down at the sandy beach, pops of color indicate beach towels and umbrellas – signs that fun in the sun awaits.
At last your eyes shift away from the captivating view outside and you realize the stunning view inside. Whether your palette is the Get Tan, Stay Bronze or See Blue theme, every attention has been given to make sure your inside moments are as happy as your outside ones here on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
See for yourself with our video presentations and select the palette that fits your spirit.
 What’s the view from your bedroom at home? Is it the neighbor’s driveway, the apartment building across the street or maybe a reminder of the yard that needs mowing?
No wonder you keep the blinds closed and curtains drawn.
At Caribe Resort, you can end each day and start each morning of your vacation with some of the best views on the Alabama Gulf Coast. In fact, the views are so great, you might just want to spend all day in bed soaking them in. (Go for it. We won’t tell.)
Caribe Resort is situated on an amazing 23-acre waterfront property and borders one and a half miles of unobstructed shoreline.
So you can enjoy the relaxing waters at Caribe Resort from your bed or up a bit closer with a walk around the grounds.

Your stay at Turquoise Place isn’t complete without a visit to our indoor pool. Head up to the 4th floor for a relaxing dip in our heated, salt water pool. It features a waterslide, basketball goal, swim jets and underwater speakers. See, we told you it was cool!
The pool area has towering cathedral ceilings and the observation deck provides panoramic views of both the bay and the gulf.
Continue your experience with a stress-melting session in one of the two hot tubs or perhaps the dry sauna or steam room. Your worries won’t stand a chance!
If your stay is during the early spring when the outdoor pool, the lazy river and the gulf may be a little chilly for your preference, then our indoor pool area is going to quickly become your favorite spot to make a splash.

Since all of our condos are equipped with gourmet kitchens, chocked full of the finest appliances and all the tools you need to prepare a meal, here’s a little recipe to get you headed in the right direction. Wouldn’t you rather lounge around in your elastic pants and enjoy your own bottle of wine instead of putting on those uncomfortable heels and paying twice or more for your pinot? I thought so. Plus, no restaurant can match our view of the Gulf from your balcony. Sure, you’ll have to do your own dishes, but that’s what husbands are for, right?
Lulu’s Peel and Eat Shrimp:
1 1/2 – 2 gallons water
1 cup medium hot sauce
3/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 1/2 cups liquid crab or seafood boil
1 bag dry crab or seafood boil
5 bay leaves
1/2 cup Creole seasoning
1/4 cup salt
(Note: Most Creole seasoning mix has half the salt of most brands. If using another brand, you may want to reduce Creole seasoning and salt by half.)
2 – 3 pounds large headless shrimp (21/25 count) with shells
�
Instructions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large stock pot. Bring to a full rolling boil.
2. Add shrimp. Bring back to boil. (Approximately 3 minutes.)
3. Turn off and cover for one minute. Remove shrimp immediately and place on top of a layer of ice in a shallow baking pan to stop cooking process.
4. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Drain and refrigerate. Serve with Cocktail Sauce.
LuLu’s Clues:
Shrimp should never cook over 3 – 5 minutes; overcooking results in shrimp that are hard to peel.
Don’t be afraid that these are extra spicy because of all of the added heat. It takes that much flavoring to permeate the shells.
Enjoy!

View the following video of friends ringing in 2010 in the middle of the dance floor at The Beach Club in Fort Morgan, AL. Dinner was wonderful (all four courses) and the champagne toast was memorable. The party was a hit with a band from Mobile called “The Real Deal.” We highly recommend them for your next event.
