PALM BEACH – Playa Linda Beach Resort recently opened its doors to the residents and clients of “Stichting Ambiente Feliz” for a morning of poolside fun. “Ambiente Feliz” is a foundation that works within the community, providing essential support and services to people with intellectual or multiple disabilities. The outing was planned as part of their summer program, with Playa Linda welcoming participants and treating them to time at the Resort.
The fun got off to an early start, with the group arriving at 8:30 and fueling up on a delicious breakfast donated by Scotts Brats, an on-property restaurant, facing beautiful Palm Beach, and famous for its scrumptious sausage sandwiches. After a hearty meal, it was time to relax poolside with Playa Linda providing chickees and towels to keep participants cool and dry after some time in the pool. The morning wrapped up with a warm farewell and goodie bags passed out to all participants.
Playa Linda, which has always taken its dedication to hospitality to the highest levels, welcomes its members and guests to the Resort as if they are family, and, similarly, keeps close ties to the greater Aruba community. The Resort has a long history of working with different, invaluable Aruba non-profits. Hosting the recent visit was one example of Playa Linda’s ongoing efforts and emphasis on giving back to the community.
“Ambiente Feliz” is an especially important NGO. It runs two residential homes — ‘Cas Curason’ and ‘Cas Briyante’ – as well as spearheads programs that focus on developing life skills, offer meaningful daily and leisure activities, establish and maintain social contacts and provide a regular round of educational, sporting and social events. The recent visit to Playa Linda was part of a larger summer activity program.
