Bring the kids for free on Hilton's 'Great Family Escapes'

"Our new promotion, 'Great Family Escapes', has been created especially for families with children to provide a memorable summer holiday in the Gulf that doesn't burn a hole in the pocket", said Guy Epsom, Regional Sales and Marketing Director, Arabian Gulf.

The special promotion, which is valid from 15 May to 31 August 2002, allows up to two children per family to be accommodated in their parents' room at no extra cost. The family can also book an additional room and get a 50 per cent discount on the price of the first room.

In addition, breakfast is complementary for the whole family and all children under 12 years old can eat free of charge at any restaurant when accompanied by at least one full-paying adult.

"Holidays are great occasions that bring the whole family together and we believe that 'Great Family Escapes' provides the opportunity to enjoy a fun-filled break at fantastic value prices in a variety of great destinations across the region", added Guy.

Each one of the 14 Hilton hotels in the Gulf, including the new Hilton Kuwait Resort that will open in the summer, has created an enticing range of special activities and discounts that will add to the family's experience and enjoyment of the weekend.

Families keen on experiencing a true desert oasis atmosphere can escape to Hilton Al Ain. The hotel is located close to the city centre and tourist sites and boasts extensive recreation facilities including a nine-hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, two swimming pools, as well as a gym equipped with Jacuzzis, steam rooms and saunas. There is a choice of six restaurants offering Persian, Chinese and Italian cuisine.

The Hilton Ras Al Khaimah is perfect for families. This tranquil hotel, set apart from the hustle and bustle of the city, has recently opened a beautifully landscaped beach club located on a private beach, providing a wide choice of water sports, a spectacular waterfall pool bar and an outdoor Mongolian Grill restaurant.

Alternatively, for those looking for a tropical beach holiday, the Hilton Salalah is an ideal destination. This deluxe 147-room property provides an exclusive private beachfront with endless white sandy beaches plus extensive recreational activities including three restaurants, bar and nightclub, a heated swimming pool, two floodlit tennis courts and a fully equipped fitness center.

"This special family offer can be reserved directly through the 14 hotels or though our toll-free Hilton Worldwide Reservations Centre. We have a team of English and Arabic speaking staff on call six days a week to make reservations and answer any of your questions," explained Guy.
