ORLANDO, Fla. — “Da Coach” Mike Ditka, former NFL Coach of the 1985 Super Bowl champs, the Chicago Bears, welcomed guests recently as they arrived at Mike Ditka’s Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa to join him in celebrating the opening of Mike Ditka’s Runaway Beach Club Resort and Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa.

Ditka proudly posed for pictures in the 26,000 sq ft Grand Clubhouse and greeted guests, answering questions and discussing the uniqueness and high standards of both new resorts bearing his name.

“Why try to fit four people in a hotel room, when you can stay in one of these villas and enjoy all the comforts of home, including extra bedrooms for the kids and grandkids?” questioned the Coach. “I want to provide hard-working families with the vacation they deserve, at a price that won’t break the bank.”

In honor of the opening of Mike Ditka Resorts, both Runaway Beach Club Resort and Lighthouse Key Resort & Spa are offering a special “Tell them ‘Da Coach’ Sent You” golf package for a limited time, April 11 through June 30, 2008. Two-night/Three-day packages starting at $339 per person, based on double occupancy (non-inclusive of taxes and resort fees) and includes a luxurious two or three bedroom villa, Championship golf for two, cart and green fees and more.
