Life can get hard, and sometimes, we need a breather to regain our spirits and get back on track. A nap, a day to relax, or a quick getaway certainly boosts one’s well-being and helps anyone to bounce back from a recent hiccup. Taco Bell recognizes this as an important part of their customer’s lives and aims to offer them an experience of a leisurely lifestyle, a quick break to “retire”.

Taco Bell is opening “The Cantinas,” an early retirement community promising a weekend of leisure and getaway in San Diego, on August 17-18, 2024. Designed for adults (21 years and up) who want to experience a laid-back, retirement lifestyle, The Cantinas offers daytime recreation, entertainment, retail, and dining activities. To join, exclusive memberships for Taco Bell Rewards members will be available starting July 16 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT.

The Cantinas features senior-inspired recreation activities such as pickleball matches, aerobics, and early morning tea times, aiming to rejuvenate guests of all ages. Taco Bell’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery, emphasizes that this initiative allows everyone to embrace the lifestyle they’ve been craving without waiting until age 55.

Access to The Cantinas is available through Weekend Memberships and Day Passes, offered exclusively for Taco Bell Rewards members:

  • Weekend Memberships cost $150 and include overnight accommodations, amenities, and more for the ticket holder and a guest.
  • Day Passes are priced at $50 per day and provide access to all activities and amenities from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Taco Bell Rewards members can stay updated on bookings and announcements by visiting The Cantinas website. For more information about Taco Bell and its latest innovations, you may check their official website or follow their social media accounts online.

More Perks for Taco Bell Rewards Members

Taco Bell is not one to back down on ideas and promotions to spoil its customers. They have proven again and again that they’re one of the best fast food chains in terms of new menu releases, exclusive deals, and excellent customer experience. If they are generous enough to release these surprises to the general public, then they’re much more generous when spoiling their Rewards members.

Taco Bell Rewards deserves a league of its own. They offer regular deals, exclusive early access to new items, and even members-only invitations to events and campaigns, making the membership more rewarding than other competing Tex-Mex brands.

From The Club

I haven’t been excited to retire until today! I love how Taco Bell changes up the definition of “retirement”, I’ve known it as a hard reality we all need to prepare for, but thanks to Taco Bell’s The Cantinas, I had a more positive take that it’s a leisure getaway that we all deserve.

Who doesn’t want a weekend of relaxation, a calm afternoon sipping a cool drink at the Retiree Lodge, diving into your artistic side with painting classes, or unwinding by enjoying pickleball tourneys or croquet? These are all my things, so I guess I’ll see you at our Taco Bell “retirement” home in August!
