Dear Friends:
Due to COVID -19 and with guidance from our Governor, my family and I have decided to postpone our opening yet again. We now plan on and are hopeful to open on Friday, May 15th. On that day we look forward to welcoming you back into a safe and spick and span facility.
This being Holy Week, it is sad to think that because of this virus, we cannot celebrate Passover or Easter, together with our families. For this reason alone, it is important that we stay home and stay healthy so we can get back to living life as usual as quickly as possible. We wish you and your family good health, Happy Easter and Happy Passover from a distance.
John for The Bellone Family

DEAR FRIENDS & FAMILY:
I HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE COVID-19 CRISIS ALMOST AROUND THE CLOCK. I KNOW EVENTUALLY WE WILL WIN THE BATTLE AND THINGS WILL NORMALIZE, BUT SADLY WE ARE NOT THERE YET. WE MUST STAY HOME AND STAY HEALTHY! THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND I HAVE CHOSEN TO KEEP BREEZEWAY RESORT, MARIA’S SEASIDE CAFE AND THE HOTEL MARIA CLOSED UNTIL AT LEAST MAY 1ST.
IN LATE FEBRUARY MY FAMILY AND I WERE PREPARING FOR A TRIP TO SICILY TO VISIT FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WHEN ALITALIA CANCELLED OUR FLIGHT 2 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE, IT WAS CLEAR THE CORONAVIRUS WAS GOING TO DISRUPT LIVES IN WAYS I DIDN’T IMAGINE AT THE TIME. OUR LIVES HAVE ALL CHANGED AND THE ONCE SIMPLE DECISION TO TRAVEL TO THE BEACH FOR A QUICK GETAWAY OR FOR A NIGHT OUT FOR DINNER HAVE COME INTO QUESTION. WHILE WE HAVE “PUMPED THE BRAKES” ON OUR 2020 OPENING, OUR WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES, MY FAMILY AND I ARE ANXIOUS TO GET BACK TO WORK SOON. THE SOCIAL DISTANCING THING IS GETTING VERY OLD AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN IN PERSON.

50 YEARS AGO, MY PARENTS BOUGHT THE BREEZEWAY. THROUGH HARD WORK AND THROUGH THICK AND THIN THEY REALIZED THE AMERICAN DREAM. NONE OF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR LOYAL GUESTS WHO HAVE KEPT US IN BUSINESS YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR. TODAY, MY ELDERLY FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR AN UNRELATED ILLNESS. HE’LL PULL THROUGH. FOR HIM AND FOR ALL OF US, PLEASE STAY HOME AND STAY HEALTHY.
JOHN FOR THE BELLONE FAMILY
