Life Saving Station Museum in Ocean City, MD
Zerby. "All of our accommodations have received the AAA Four Diamond award for over two-decades and include an artful combination of Victorian-repro- duction furnishings and the amenities guests expect today, such as flat-screen televisions and compli- mentary Wi-Fi."
"For dining," she continued, "Victoria’s Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch with an ocean view from every table, plus the option of outside patio dining during the warmer months. Our Plaza Pub offers cocktails and lighter fare. Full- menu room service is available all day, as well."
Many groups choose to meet at Boardwalk Plaza either before the height of the summer season or just after it ends. May and September are two of the most scenic months in Rehoboth Beach, but each season offers its own charms at this year-round resort.
When it comes to team building, recreation and other activities, Zerby noted that the beach and boardwalk are available just outside the hotel's doors. "Golf, fishing, boating and other watersports are all nearby… as well as awesome sales-tax-free shopping at our boutiques in town and at the Tanger Outlets on Route One."
Boardwalk Plaza is truly something special, Zerby added. She said that their service and hospitality help to set it apart as a great meeting destination.
"Many members of our team have been with us for a decade or more - and each one excels at making our guests feel welcome and ensuring their needs are not only met, but anticipated,” noted Zerby..”The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel is proud to offer beautiful, clean and well-appointed accommodations along with top-notch dining and the utmost in service. For the most part, we cater only to one in-house group at a time so that our sales and foodservice teams can focus solely on that group."
Offering such service is certainly an added bonus to what is already an exceptional beachfront meeting experience at this elegant hotel.

It's a drive-to destination that features boardwalk fun, every type of hotel experience a group could want, a variety of meeting spaces - including a convention center - and a helpful conven- tion and visitors bureau that can assist with putting together virtually any kind of meeting, event, expo or other function.
Fred Wise, director of sales and market- ing for both the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and the Ocean City, Maryland Convention and Visitors Bureau, has observed that planners and their groups like a lot of different things when it comes to meetings at the beach.
"Most folks like the beach atmosphere," said Wise. "It is a basic charge of the senses: sights, sounds, smells, tastes and pace of life. If one were to examine most serenity posters, they are of beach scenes, water views and reflections. Ocean City has a 360-degree view of all of the above."
"Soothing sound machines only can cre- ate a wave's sound," he continued. "The saltwater ocean creates a refreshing smell that's uniquely all its own."
Ocean City is an ideal destination for meetings of all sizes situated in an extremely popular resort community that is prepared to host a wide variety of meetings and conventions. The center-
