A condo-style resort goes a long way toward making a family vacation successful. Self-contained lodgings—also marketed as apartments, villas, or residences—grant more space and convenience than traditional hotel rooms. Even at all-inclusive properties with standard rooms, you can often find units with kitchens that make daily life easier.
You can serve cereal to early-rising preschoolers and warm up the baby’s bottles while still in your pajamas. The extra bedrooms satisfy eye-rolling teens who crave privacy as well as their tag-along grandparents who came in search of quiet amid the bustle. And the living room affords a place to connect over jigsaw puzzles, games, and snacks. Many apartment-like accommodations come with in-unit washers and dryers, a bonus for families whose toddlers dribble through four shirts a day.
From plain to fancy, the following condo-style lodgings come with resort perks such as beach attendants, housekeepers, restaurants, room service, pools, children’s programs, and even butlers, depending upon the property.
