TOPS'L Beach and Racquet Resort Recognized As A Top Tennis Resort
During 2008, TOPS'L Beach and Racquet Resort, located in Destin, Florida, continued their tradition of being recognized as a Top Tennis Resorts in America. Tennis Magazine recently presented TOPS'L with a plaque commemorating their status as a TOP 50 Tennis Resort. During Tennis Magazine's semi-annual review, tennis resorts throughout the United States were reviewed for their courts, their quality of instruction, their clinics and game matching as well as their all-around experience.
"TOPS'L Beach and Racquet Resort has been ranked a Top 50 Tennis Resort by Tennis Magazine for the past 12 consecutive years," stated Director of Tennis, Joe D'Aleo. "In May of 2008, TOPS'L was also voted a Top 10 Tennis Resort in the United States by tennis enthusiasts on TennisResortsOnline.com for the eighth consecutive year," continued Mr. D'Aleo. "We are very proud of our tennis programs at TOPS'L and we always go the extra mile to make sure our guests get all the tennis they want during their stay."
ResortQuest of Northwest Florida and Alabama Give Back
With hurricane season in the rearview mirror and storms Ike and Gustav long since passed, ResortQuest still hasn't closed its doors to storm evacuees. On Monday, just a few days before Thanksgiving, ResortQuest of Northwest Florida presented the Red Cross with a check for $10,000 for hurricane relief efforts in areas where the storms hit.
This past fall, during tropical storms Gustav and Ike, many residents of Northwest Florida's neighboring states including Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama found themselves evacuating their homes. With such a large radius where the storms could hit, folks from Alabama all the way to Texas were trying to find places to stay. As one could guess, the availability of lodging in hotels and motels filled up quickly. That's when ResortQuest opened its doors to storm evacuees with a region wide campaign dispersed through e-mail, Convention & Visitors Bureaus and Chambers of Commerce of neighboring states. Evacuees were provided a special arrangement which offered discounted rates and allowed pets to stay in every vacation rental. ResortQuest housed thousands of guests during the storms and received gratuitous feedback from many evacuees, one claimed, "I felt so safe knowing I had a friendly, comfortable place to go to during such a stressful time."
"Our goal is to service our guests to the fullest while giving back to the community - and not just the Northwest Florida community," said Lino Maldonado, ResortQuest Vice President. "Providing evacuees with a place to stay was the first step and this donation is a follow-up to make sure our guests are doing well at home."
ResortQuest has earned itself a reputation as a company that is committed to the community. This year alone, ResortQuest has raised $7,500 for the American Cancer Society, $10,000 for the American Heart Association and $25,000 for the United Way. This week, when finding something to be thankful for, you can add this 'spirit of giving' to your list.

TOPS'L - Top 50 Resort by Tennis Magazine
When Joe D'Aleo, Director of Tennis, started at TOPS'L in 1995 the staff's goal was to get the resort back in the Top 50 rankings after a missed nomination in 1994. Since then they have more than met this goal. TOPS'L boasts everything one should expect from a well respected Racquet Club - A 12 rubico court complex, a clubhouse with players' lounge, locker rooms and pro shop, a patio with awnings for each pair of courts and a variety of clinics, round robins and events to choose from - All situated on a well manicured property overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
But what makes it so special, you might ask? It's the enthusiasm and personal attention given to guests and members that keeps them coming back for more. Overnight guests are welcomed as Racquet Club members and are included in the camaraderie of the sport by the TOPS'L staff. "TOPS'L is all about tennis and making sure that all of our tennis guests feel like they are members," D'Aleo says of his approach. "We always go the extra mile to make sure all of our guests get all the tennis they need during their stay."

ResortQuest Northwest Florida Reaching Out To Our Local Community
This fall ResortQuest is sponsoring three prominent events in the area. In October, we will have a booth at the Destin Seafood Festival on the Destin Harbor. This festival is the kickoff to the month long Destin Fishing Rodeo, and we received great response from our participation last year. We'll also have a booth (for the first time) at the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, AL, a large festival boasting over 300 vendors and great shrimp! At both festivals, we will encourage the community and visitors to get "Hooked on ResortQuest."
In November, we are sponsoring the inaugural Taste of THE Beach wine and dine festival, a four day charity wine event held at several locations along the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. With the slogan, "Wine. Dine. Donate," this event will benefit multiple charities across the area and is a great way to take advantage of the Coast's picturesque outdoors and tranquil surroundings.
Nevertheless, the tranquility of the fall season does little to slow down ResortQuest's charitable energy. ResortQuest is already campaigning to raise $10,000 for the American Heart Association, and we have many employees signed up to help with the United Way Day of Caring.
We're also planning our next United Way campaign, where we raised $32,000 last year. Finally, plans are underway for the St. Jude Golf Tournament to benefit the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on November 13-15th. ResortQuest is also a sponsor of this event, which raised over $200,000 last year for cancer research.
With great opportunities for giving and wonderful festivals, fall is the perfect time to reach out to the community and make a difference, and that's what ResortQuest is planning to do this year!
