Boldly and Brilliantly Conceived...
from the ocean's shore to the blue and placid waters of the Bay...
Let's start at the hotel...
Directly on the Ocean Shore, here is an architectural masterpiece, curved to follow the sun and ocean breezes...every guest room with its own private balcony overlooking the pool and cabana club, the ocean, and the lush tropical gardens of the Golden Gate.
and you can expect wonderful things
...the very moment you step into the lobby. It's a prelude to the elegance and pleasure that will mark your vacation...
Ah, but pause for just a moment...the sound of laughter, tinkling glasses and soft music from the cocktail lounge set the pattern for the hearty and jovial living in the days ahead...and your vacation is off to a beautiful beginning.
Menu magic
...delicately prepared and seasoned foods, complimented by the most attentive service this side of the Continent--home-spun hospitality and a setting of ocean and palms just a whisper away, with delightful music for dinner dancing...and you are in for a treat in the charming Dining Room...and for your more informal dining moods, a gleaming cafeteria right on the premises, where delectable dishes are ever on display for snacks and even full dinners.
Balcony scene
...beyond any poetic dream setting--there you are, on your very own private balcony, looking out over the palms and the ocean...and step inside to your room, where everything is the very last word in luxury...
...yes, every room has its own private terrace, the luxury of circulating ice water, radio, and of course, the finest of furnishings in attractive decor...television in your room if desired.
...stretched out in languid magnificence, from the ocean to the bay--28 acres of lush, tropical delight bracketing the ocean highway, the East and West colonies connected by a specially-engineered under-pass...
The Golden Gate
Motel-Hotel-Apartments-Villas
...and now, let us stroll through the Bay Colony with its apartment and motel buildings, the villas, the yacht club and anchorage--and all the wonderful attractions you will find there...
...truly, the most unusual resort of its kind in the world! 650 rooms completely air-conditioned and heated, all with private terrace.
Sporting life...Florida style
...here's pleasure under the palms--excellent tennis courts, shuffleboard, putting greens, and another delightful swimming pool...yes, here are recreation facilities made to order for any vacationer, young or old--and all right in the heart of Bay Colony and its perfect air conditioned accommodations.
Yacht Club and anchorage
...safe berth for your proud, sleek craft, with complete water, electrical and phone facilities at dockside and on your boat...and home base for the fleet of deep-sea fishing cruisers, waiting the cast-off signal of the experienced skippers, to take you in quest of the biggest, gamest varieties in all the seven seas...
...in the Yacht Club, the rollicking spirit of the deep prevails, with all its salty and jolly good-fellowship, and the right fixin's to point up the inevitable tall tales of the "one that got away"...
