Desert Springs Resort’s “Tweet to Retreat” Contest
Well, October is already here and it looks like the warm days of summer are gone. Though it’s a bit off-topic for our site (we have a bit of a soft-spot for Twitter promos), if you’re longing for a little more sun, a bit of R&R and some free wining and dining, check out the Twitter promo Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, CA is launching today and running throughout the month of October 2009. Followers will be asked questions ranging from the ingredients in the Angel Kiss cocktail at Oasis Bar & Grille to the number of rooms in the hotel. All answers can be found somewhere on the Desert Springs Web site. One winner will receive a three-night stay at the resort, free dinner at Ristorante Tuscany and Mikado Japanese Steakhouse, daily breakfast at LakeView, four 60-minute spa treatments, VIP table at Costas nightclub and choice of tennis or golf lessons for two. To join in on the action, follow the hotel on Twitter @DesertSprings, and keep an eye out for the questions––which begin today. One question will be posted each weekday through October 30th at noon. Tweet your answer in this format: @DesertSprings answer #tweettoretreat. First person to respond with the correct answer each day will be entered into a drawing for the ultra-luxe prize. The winner will be notified on November 2, 2009. In unrelated news, there are 15 days left for Southern Hospitality to reach 5,000 Facebook fans and giveaway 5,000 free orders fried pickles. Current tally — 1,676.
