Spring is in the air and you may already be dreaming of your next vacation. The question is, where would you like to go? You can always return to Royal Resorts, your home away from home in the Mexican Caribbean for more blissful beach days and star-filled nights, but if you would like to go somewhere different, a Holiday Inn Club Vacations membership offers you a world of options.
Springtime travel in the United States
How about a spring trip to Orlando with the children for fun-filled days at Florida’s world-famous parks? Orange Lake Resort is the perfect spot for a family vacation and for exploring four Walt Disney World® parks, which include Hollywood Studios for Star Wars adventures, Universal Orlando ResortTM for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, SeaWorld Orlando, Legoland® Florida and much more.
A 1,200-acre estate, Orange Lake Resort is comprised of four separate resort villages set in lush tropical gardens and with a wealth of amenities for guests to enjoy including multiple pools, a lazy river, waterslides, mini golf courses, an activity center, arcades and game rooms, tennis, basketball and pickleball courts, a movie theater and championship golf courses.
If you are dreaming about long walks along the beach and warmer temperatures, head to the Florida shoreline, where Holiday Inn Club Vacations has resorts on both coasts: Cape Canaveral Beach Resort on the Atlantic and Panama City Beach Resort and Sunset Cove Resort on Marco Island on the Gulf coast. Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is another popular choice. Beach fun, golf, shopping, water sports, fishing and boat trips are just some of the activities you can fit into your stay.
Head to Arizona to see the desert in bloom and discover spectacular mountain and canyon landscapes with a visit to Scottsdale. If you are looking for relaxation and renewal, this city is full of spas, many offering treatments inspired by timeless First Nations healing remedies. Scottsdale Resort is located in North Scottsdale, close to the city’s shopping, dining, more than 125 art galleries, museums, destination spas, golf courses and even a wine trail.
A trip to New Orleans is a must, whether it’s for Mardi Gras or the famous Jazz fest in May. Explore the city’s historic neighborhoods, stroll through the parks and find your own favorite jazz bar, cafes and restaurants. New Orleans Resort is just one block from the French Quarter.
Visit the mountains in the northeast and south of the country to see the first stirrings of spring as you hit the hiking trails and breath in the crisp air. Way out west, in Lake Tahoe, you may still be able to fit in one more ski trip at Tahoe Ridge Resort and revel in the natural beauty of the Carson Valley at David Walley’s Resort.
