Wyndham Smuggler’s Notch Resort Vermont

Welcome to a self-contained mountain resort village, where each neighborhood — varying from wooded seclusion to Village Center proximity — features exclusive amenities.

Wyndham Smuggler’s Notch Resort is nestled in the picturesque Vermont mountains, a settling that’s verdant and sundrenched in spring and summer, blazing with autumnal foliage in fall, and blanketed with powdery snow in winter. The resort is divided into distinct mountain neighborhoods, offering everything from remote forested enclaves to buzzy village center dwellings, and boasts hot tubs, tennis courts, mini golf, a driving range, pool, BBQ and plenty of other family-friendly facilities. 

The Resort on Cocoa Beach, Florida

With the Resort on Cocoa Beach located directly on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the area boasts an endless array of outdoor activities including water sports, surfing, fishing, golfing and much more.

With doorstep access to a pretty stretch of beach and views of the deep blue Atlantic from every unit, the Resort on Cocoa Beach offers a paradisiacal Florida getaway for groups. If your family thrives off good-natured competition then you’re in luck. Cocoa Beach has sports and games galore, including shuffleboard, ping pong, pickleball, and a full-size basketball court. 

WorldMark Santa Barbara, Florida

With the Atlantic Ocean just across the street, the WorldMark Santa Barbara Resort gives you that all-important private beach access. Meanwhile, the area’s best local sites and attractions are just steps away.

Private beach access is a major perk at this coastal resort from Club Wyndham. Worldmark Santa Barbara is close to lots of Pompano Beach’s top seafood restaurants, many with outdoor dining options, but if you’d rather eat in the safety of your own space, each unit comes complete with a full kitchen. After dinner, take a chilled glass of something delicious out on your private balcony for golden hour. 

Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf, Rhode Island 

The Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf provides a cozy respite in the middle of the action.

Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf’s collection of cozy nautical-theme suites are right on the waterfront in downtown Newport. This is a city that’s known for its regatta, an annual boat race with plenty of fanfare, so you’d be remiss not to try boating during your stay. Got an adrenaline junkie in the family? Waterskiing or windsurfing might be more up their alley, and you can try both of those here. 

WorldMark Park City, Utah

Completely surrounded by mountains, the views here at the WorldMark Park City  Resort seem to go on forever — which is exactly how long your family’s vacation memories will stay with you.

As idyllic for hiking in the summer as it is for skiing in the winer, Worldmark Park City puts guests at the heart of one of the country’s most famous mountain towns. Perfect for large groups and extended families, WorldMark Park City’s largest suites have four bedrooms and sleep up to 10 guests comfortably. Spend the day exploring hiking trails fringed by wildflowers, then soak in a bubbling hot tub before tucking into a big family meal. 

WorldMark South Shore, Nevada 

The WorldMark South Shore welcomes you back with charming lodge-style units that are in perfect character with Tahoe’s Western influence.

Located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, WorldMark South Shore offers lodge-style accommodations surrounded by pristine landscapes – think pine forest trails and that cool blue water Tahoe is famous for. Strap on your helmets and mountain bike your way around the lake, or lean into Tahoe’s western influence and explore the area on horseback.  

Hilton Carlsbad Seapointe, California 

Indulge yourself in the exciting seaside activities, tranquil surroundings and extraordinary sunsets of Carlsbad Seapointe Resort, ideally perched atop a seaside bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Coastal Highway 101.

Perched on a scenic bluff overlooking the indigo expanse of the Pacific Ocean, Hilton Carlsbad Seapointe bills itself as the ultimate spot for sunset views (be sure to fill your fridge with some rosé for sundown toasts). The resort is conveniently close to many of San Diego’s most beloved family attractions, from the zoo to LEGOLAND, but if you’d rather stay close, there’s plenty to enjoy on-site too, including sports courts and several pools. 

WorldMark Depoe Bay, Oregon

Perched on the coast of a global whale-watching destination where jagged cliffs and old-growth forests tower over crashing blue waters, this thoughtfully outfitted Oregon resort reaches perfection in the whale-watching capital of the Northwest.

It’s hard to imagine a more stunning and dramatic location for a resort than the rugged cliffs of Oregon’s Pacific Coast Scenic Byway. At WorldMark Depoe Bay, waves swirl and crash over rocks just beyond the swimming pool deck, and rooms come with gorgeous views all the way to the horizon (perfect for grey whale spotting). A short walk from the resort, discover a quaint fishing village, replete with seafood restaurants and souvenir shops worth perusing. 

Marriott Canyon Villas, Arizona 

Once the land of starbursts, ten-gallon hats, and the region’s trademark Saguaros, Scottsdale has maintained its air of desert calm while embracing its budding population of infinity pools. At the forefront of this luxurious oasis is Marriott’s Canyon Villas. 

A stone’s throw from Scottsdale, the Marriott Canyon Villas puts you close to some of Arizona’s best golf courses and restaurants. The resort’s villas come with their own balconies and spacious private living spaces, so you can relax after a day of cacti spotting and splashing around in the pool. 

Wyndham At Glacier Canyon, Wisconsin

The Wyndham at Glacier Canyon brings you the best of Wisconsin Dells in a luxurious “timber lodge” atmosphere coupled with no-holds-barred Wisconsin hospitality! 

When it comes to summer destinations the kid will love, it doesn’t get much better than the Wisconsin Dells, a city famous for its theme parks and waterparks. The Wyndham at Glacier Canyon is close to attractions like Noah’s Ark (America’s largest waterpark), ziplining adventures, boat tours, and a family-friendly nightlife. Plus, it even has its own on-site waterpark and golf course if you don’t feel comfortable venturing out.
