MARCH MADNESS CONTEST

02-20-2009

 NISBET PLANTATION OFFERS TWO FREE VACATIONS TO WINNERS WHO PREDICT NCAA CINDERELLA TEAMS 

NEVIS, West Indies — Nisbet Plantation Beach Club is the Cinderella of the Caribbean. From an old sugar plantation Nisbet has become the Caribbean's best resort, according to TripAdvisor in 2008.

To celebrate its Cinderella status, Nisbet is offering a free five-night stay for the winners of the “Nisbet First Annual March Madness Cinderella Hoopla Contest.”

 

The Nisbet “March Madness Cinderella Hoopla Contest” asks fans to select the 2009 NCAA basketball teams they think will be named the Cinderella teams in this year's tournaments. Nisbet will draw two winners — one each from those who correctly guess this year's men's and women's Cinderella teams.

 

“For fans, March Madness is one of the most anticipated and intense sporting events of the year,” said Jamie Holmes, Nisbet general manager.  “So, this year, we thought it would be nice to offer two lucky winners a chance to relax and unwind and enjoy Nisbet’s peaceful setting.  Following March Madness, it’s a Cinderella ending to this year’s tournament for two fans.”

 

Entries must be received before Tuesday, March 17, 2009 — when the NCAA Basketball Championship tips off.  Only one entry per email address will be valid.  Winners will be announced by April 15.

Meantime, for those who want to visit now, Nisbet also offers a March Madness special where guests who stay six nights receive a seventh night free.  See the Web site for details:  http://www.nisbetplantation.com/worxcms_published/offer58.shtml

The plantation’s beautifully-restored Great House, which dates from 1778, and 36 charming cottages all with modern conveniences are set in 30 acres of tropical foliage.

About Nevis

This 36-square-mile Caribbean island lies near the top of the Lesser Antilles archipelago, about 200 miles south of Puerto Rico, and just west of Antigua. This island jewel is approximately 7 miles long and 5 miles wide, with natural vegetation that is unparalleled. Nevis is one of the remaining unspoiled places on earth.  From the top of the 3,232-foot Nevis Peak created by the only shield volcano in the Caribbean, to the depths of the clear waters offshore, there is a world of flora and fauna to be explored.
