There are many ways to spend a holiday. Think of hiking trips, skiing, yoga retreats, beach holiday, backpacking etc. In this article we take a look at why a stay at a resort could be worth considering. Read on and get our five good reasons to choose a resort for your next holiday.

Whether we are talking about the family’s annual holiday together, a trip with your partner or you simply feel like spending some time alone at a nice place without having to do anything, a resort could be the perfect way of spending a holiday.

Do what you want

At a holiday resort such as the magnificent and family-friendly Westgate lakes near Disney in Orlando you can do what you feel like. Here there is no tour leader dragging you around to crowded sights that you don’t really want to see and no worries about ferries or trains to catch or lousy tourist restaurants.

If you fancy taking a day at the pool enjoying the sun and reading a book or listening to your favorite music you can do that. When taking your offspring on holiday you can’t go wrong as long as there is a swimming pool where they can splash around and have fun.

If you feel energetic there are plenty of options to be sporty and do exercise. Those who are into more creative activities can enjoy things like ceramic paintings and a wide range of other activities. At Westgate Resorts you never run out of things to do, but if you need a rest and doing absolutely nothing there is certainly an opportunity for that too.

Everything within reach 

One of the great things about resorts is that you don’t have to leave the premises. Everything you need is at your reach. You don’t even have to leave the resort to get something to eat as all resorts hold at least one restaurant where you can enjoy fine cuisine or a more relaxed meal. No need to worry if your kids are selective eaters, the friendly staff will do everything in their power to make sure they have a good experience visiting the restaurant and that everybody leaves with a full stomach and a happy spirit.

At the resort you can dine, dance, relax and do sports and lots of other activities, and the idea of not having to go elsewhere to search for things to do or eat can be of great value if you have come to get away from the daunting tasks of organizing the family’s daily doings. You can even have a facial or a massage of that tired back of yours and if your nails need a make-over that can be arranged too.

A minimum of planning

Because you have everything at the same place a holiday at a resort requires a minimum of planning. All you have to do is book your stay and get on a plane or in your car and go. In a busy life there is enough planning to make sure everything falls into place but when on holiday we really don’t need that. A holiday can quickly turn into a nightmare when having to organize tours, transport, food and activities.

Something for whole family

At a resort there is something for the whole family. There are lots of activities for everyone from toddlers to seniors and even if you don’t fancy doing anything a resort is the perfect place for a lovely holiday.

If you are thinking about a holiday for several generations a resort could be the perfect solution. Here you can all be together in a relaxed setting and just enjoy each other’s company. This could be a great chance for generations to spend time together and for parents of young children to have a break and hand over the children to the grandparents.

In many families grandparents regret not seeing their children and grandchildren more because they are living busy lives far away. Going on a holiday together can make up for some of that lost time that is so precious as our time here on earth together is limited.

Even if it is not an option to stay for a proper holiday, even a long weekend at a nice resort can also do wonders. Or how about having your Birthday at a resort and inviting the guests to stay for the night and enjoy a day by the pool recovering from the festivities before going home? 

As you can see there are many good reasons to choose a resort for your next holiday or just for a quick get-away from the chores of daily life. With these great tips we hope we have provided you with a great deal of inspiration.
