9. Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort – Orlando
This is as close as you can get to Disney World without staying in the park. So it’s no wonder members march to this home of happiness. But even if it were in another town, this Orlando resort would still be worth the points—because it’s practically an amusement park itself.
You can stay in spacious hotel suites, a condo-style studio, or a villa with up to 3 rooms and 2,475 square feet—complete with a kitchen & washer/dryer. How convenient is that for packing? And the property is a vacationer’s paradise. Golf, lazy river tubing, tons of food, and good ol’ family fun everywhere you turn.
Now, we probably don’t need to tell you about Orlando, but if for some reason do you want to leave the property, there’s (space) mountains of fun to be had. And not just for kids.

7. Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach
When Panama City comes up in conversation, one immediately conjures up an image of tropical drinks, sugar-sand beaches and, yes, probably a Spring Break memory or two.
This quintessential Florida beach town is among the most popular in the U.S.—and for good reason. Reliable weather, gulf-coast vista views and a bevy of seafood restaurants make visits to the Florida Panhandle an annual tradition for many Americans.
So it’s no surprise that Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach checks in at #8 on our list. The resort features a lagoon-style pool (with a cascading waterfall), hot tubs and the new SeaGlass Bar & Grill. This resort also caters to kids, with a water playground and free daily outdoor activities.
