Have Fun in the Sun this Spring

Depending on your child’s school, spring break could be just a couple of weeks away. If that’s the case, you’re in luck. Several popular resorts are offering fabulous deals for families looking to escape to the sun and surf. The current economy has forced many top-notch properties to drastically reduce their rates in order to drum up business. This means that availability is excellent and you’ll get more bang for your buck, especially if you are traveling with kids.

Take a look:

ORLANDO

What parent wouldn’t want to spend spring break lounging poolside while her child is happily splashing nearby? You can do that and then some for a steal at Mike Ditka’s Runaway Beach Club in Orlando, Florida. From now through April 30 you can get a one-room villa for just $59, or spend the night in a unit with two bedrooms for the bargain price of $89. The spacious villas offer families plenty of room to spread out, and include a full kitchen, flatscreen TV, and washer/dryer. The property also offers a zero-entry pool for little ones and complimentary shuttle rides to Disney World.

SAN DIEGO

From now through May 22 you can get 55% off room rates at San Diego’s Catamaran Resort and Spa. Single units are going for just $99 a night. Plus, you’ll receive discounts to some of San Diego’s top attractions, including SeaWorld. You can also take advantage of the resort’s facilities and activities, including a spa, biking, and kayaking.

SKI AND SURF

ResortQuest is going all out for families this March by offering a “More for Your Money in March” promotion. Basically, you pay for two nights at a vacation rental property, and get your third night free. Or, pay for four nights, and get your fifth and sixth nights free. Either way, you save nearly 35% on your accommodations. The travel group has vacation properties in 21 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada and Costa Rica. Ski options include Aspen, Breckenridge, Keystone, Park City, Snowmass, Steamboat, Sun Valley, Telluride, Winter Park and Whistler. Meanwhile, beach deals are available in Bethany Beach, the Charleston Islands, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, the Outer Banks, and Northwest and Southwest Florida.
