The Sweetheart Package: the best fit for romance
For couples planning a Florida Keys escape, the Sweetheart Package is the clearest choice.
What the Sweetheart Package includes
The Sweetheart Package is priced at $199.00 per stay and includes:
- A $50 Gift Certificate to Havana Jack’s Oceanfront Restaurant & Bar

- Honeymoons
- Surprise proposals
- Spontaneous couples’ escapes
- Any stay where the goal is to create a more intimate, celebratory mood
Why it stands out
The Sweetheart Package combines several elements that couples usually want in one booking decision: a celebratory arrival, a dining experience, and a more romantic room atmosphere. It also pairs naturally with the resort’s setting on one of the few walk-in swimmable beaches in the Florida Keys.
A practical way to enjoy it is simple:
- Arrive and settle in with the Perrier-Jouët Champagne.
- Spend time on the private beach or by the pool.
- Use the $50 Havana Jack’s gift certificate for an oceanfront meal.
- Make the most of early check-in or late check-out if available.
If your main goal is quality time together, this is the package built for that purpose.
The Celebrate! Package: ideal for milestones and special occasions
If your trip is centered on a shared moment, the Celebrate! Package offers a fuller, more festive setup.
What the Celebrate! Package includes
The Celebrate! Package is priced at $175.00 and includes:
- Welcome drinks of your choice
- Your choice of a celebratory beverage package:
- A bottle of wine
- Six chilled domestic beers

Who should choose it
This package is a strong fit for:
- Birthdays
- Anniversaries
- Honeymoons
- Retirement trips

- Guests who want the room itself to feel like part of the event
Why it stands out
The Celebrate! Package is broader than a simple room add-on. It creates a festive arrival experience and adds visual details, treats, and keepsakes that make the occasion feel more intentional.
It is especially useful for guests who do not want to shop for decorations, organize surprises, or coordinate separate celebratory items before arrival. Instead, the essentials are packaged into one enhancement.
If your vacation is less about quiet romance and more about marking a meaningful moment, this is likely the best choice.
The Champagne add-on: simple, classic, and easy
Not every guest needs a full package. Sometimes a small gesture is enough.
What the Champagne add-on includes
The Champagne add-on is priced at $35.00 and includes:
- A chilled bottle of champagne
Who should choose it
This option is best for:
- Guests who want a light celebratory touch
- Couples already planning their own dining or beach itinerary
- Travelers adding a little luxury without booking a full package
- Anyone celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or “just because” moment
Why it stands out
The Champagne add-on is straightforward. It does one thing well: it adds a ready-to-enjoy toast to your arrival. For guests who prefer flexibility, this can be the smartest option.
It also pairs well with an evening at Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant & Bar, where oceanfront dining and tropical cocktails can round out the celebration.
Other add-ons and family-focused enhancements
Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel & Resort also offers packages and add-ons such as beach passes, celebration packages, champagne packages, snack packages, family beach packages, and romantic getaway packages.
The resort specifically notes that family-oriented add-ons such as the Kids Beach Bucket package are available to enhance a Florida Keys family vacation experience.
When family-focused add-ons make sense
If you are traveling with children, small extras can help create an easier and more engaging beach stay. Family-centered enhancements work best when your goal is to spend more time enjoying the setting and less time sourcing beach-day essentials after arrival.
That fits the overall appeal of the resort for families, who often choose it for:
- The beachfront location
- Pools
- Outdoor activities
- A convenient base for exploring the Keys
In Key Colony Beach and nearby areas, guests can also enjoy activities such as:
- Fishing charters
- Kayaking
- Paddleboarding
- Snorkeling
- Golf
- Marina activities
- Family parks
- Sunset views at Sunset Park & Beach
That makes family add-ons especially valuable for guests building a trip around outdoor time.

Practical planning tips before you book
A little preparation can help you choose the most useful enhancement for your stay.
1. Match the add-on to the main reason for your trip
Ask one direct question: What is this trip really for?
- If it is about reconnecting as a couple, choose the Sweetheart Package.
- If it is about celebrating a milestone, choose Celebrate!.
- If you just want a toast on arrival, choose Champagne.
2. Think about how much planning you want to do yourself
