Vacation in the USA
How about on your next vacation you stay in a villa with one to three bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, a dining room / living room area with a sofa sleeper, a furnished patio or balcony and more! And at a price you would normally pay for just a hotel room? Then you will want to check out the Holiday Inn Vacation Club Resorts. Yes, owned by Holiday Inn but nothing like the Holiday Inn you know.
Holiday Inn Vacation Club currently operates 12 resorts across the USA. They are:
Orange Lake Resort in Orlando Fl – just minutes from Walt Disney World

Since they all have full kitchens you save money by fixing breakfast and maybe lunch in the kitchen, go out and have dinner, and then enjoy snacks while watching a late movie back in your villa.
Most all of them offer free wi-fi access, have pools and some even feature a 12-acre waterpark, bars, live entertainment, dive-in movies and seasonal activities. Also offer championship and executive-level golf courses, plus golf clinics; tennis, racquetball and basketball courts; jet skiing and other watersports.
No membership fee is required and you won’t have to sit thru some time share sales pitch.
