Resort hotels for everyone in Central California
If you’re traveling with the kids, you know how hard it is to keep them entertained. Let them have some fun on their own: some resorts have clubs for the kiddos, including kid-friendly pools and adventure camps where they can explore, do some crafts and even take part in learning activities. (Don’t worry, no one will tell them this vacation is actually educational.) Of course, there’s plenty for adults to do at Central California resorts as well. Take a yoga class, book a few treatments at the spa, or do a little shopping. Go ahead, charge it to the room. You’re on vacation!

Ready to wow your special someone? Plan a romantic getaway complete with luxury accommodations. Surprise your partner with a couples massage, followed by a candlelit dinner at the 5-star on-site hotel. Some of these luxury hotels even have adults-only pools with swim-up bars so you can float about with a couple of cocktails, watching the sunset and enjoying your time together.
