4 Affordable Winter Hotels for Families

These family-friendly winter getaways won’t break the bank but will promise to give all a weekend (or longer) to remember.

Lake House Resort

This oasis in San Diego, California, lies in the picturesque mountains and is the only experience-driven, lakefront hotel in San Diego. It also serves as a more affordable and convenient homebase for those looking to explore popular destinations such as Balboa Park or Downtown. Families can book suites with extra-large balconies, lakefront cottages or even the Adventure Suite with bunk beds. Each room comes with a complimentary s’mores kit to end nights together around the firepit. The resort also offers a variety of complimentary on-property amenities such as two pools, two spa tubs, Sail Club at the resort’s full-service marina, beach cruisers, access to the driving range, tennis and pickleball courts, and much more.

Marriott’s Harbour Lake

Marriott’s Harbour Lake in Orlando, Florida, is perfect for a spring break trip. This timeshare resort has spacious villas and on-site experiences to provide family-fun adventures both on and off the property. One- and two-bedroom villas offer separate sleeping and living spaces so adults and children don’t need to go to bed at the same time. All villas also come with fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes and utility rooms with a washer and dryer. The property features two outdoor, heated children’s pools: The Florida Falls, which features a pool and waterslide, and Shipwreck Landing, featuring a life-sized pirate ship and two waterslides leading into the zero-entry pool. The outdoor area includes a Splash Pad area. Guests can also use the fitness center and other activity areas with games like shuffleboard, putt putt, bocce ball, foosball and more.

Caribe Royale Orlando

To make your choice even harder for an Orlando trip, escape to Caribe Royale Orlando for a fun-filled getaway just 1.5 miles away from Walt Disney World. Book one of the newly renovated, one-bedroom suites that accommodate up to five guests or a spacious two-bedroom villa. Kids can spend the day racing down the 75-foot waterslide while parents sip cocktails in a private poolside cabana. Check out Stadium Club for pro-level sport simulators, where the whole family can try their hand at golf, baseball and zombie dodgeball. Guests heading to Disney’s Magic Kingdom can take advantage of a daily, complimentary shuttle service to and from the park.
