The living room is filled with wrapping paper and most of the holiday meat is being wolfed down between two pieces of bread slathered with mayonnaise. Holiday Football can now be watched from an Ipad and the kiddo’s are bored and starting to use the empty boxes as pirate’s forts. You’ve done your part! Now it’s time for the grown-ups to take a break.
Fight the winter chill with a drive to Galveston Island and enjoy paradise at The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center on the fabulous seawall on Galveston Island. Why not treat the treasure of your home who cooked, cleaned to give your family a wonderful holiday to a luxurious meal at The Steakhouse first.
Nothing says ‘Thank You’ more completely, than having Jon Paul greet you at the door and seating you for some of the finest dining on the Gulf Coast. A brief appreciation meal might include their Mushroom Caps Stuffed with Lump Crab, a luscious mixture combined with Gruyere Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper Beurre Blanc. The holidays are a time to enjoy tradition with a Classic Wedge Caesar Salad accented by Reggiano Crostini, Anchovy Fillets and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Live Main Lobster or a Filet Mignon draped in rich Bearnaise Sauce an really make the evening special.

Then, let your loved one know that Santa appreciates all of that effort. Suggest a trip outside to the H2O Pool + Bar. Find a cozy spot, in front of the spectacular firepot, and order one of their new festive drinks. Kick back, enjoy the view of the Gulf of Mexico with an a unique libation like Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey by Sazerac.
“People really enjoy this”, said Matt Wilson, a manager, “It’s very popular in the winter.”
Indeed, although I’m sure this is a great libation for those who enjoy whiskey on a regular basis, it’s even better for those who don’t regularly choose it. It’s sweet with one heck of a spicy kick. Combined with the firepot, and a blanket you’re transported into a holiday postcard with a roaring fireplace somewhere up in the snowbound north.
Quite frankly, if you’re thanking a loved one for their holiday efforts, after having a Fireball Cinnamon Lemonade or Egg Nog, you’d might want to think about asking the front desk clerk at the San Luis about their winter rates. You’re really going to want to savor the evening.
So, call the sitter, pile into the car and drive on down to Galveston. An evening at The Steakhouse, followed by cozy drinks by the heated pool at the H2O Pool + Bar is our version of “winter wonderland in paradise”!
