Search Condo Resorts

A condominium resort sits somewhere between a private residence and a hotel. It offers the freedom and privacy of your own space, along with the extra level of service that comes with a traditional establishment – think a front desk and room cleaning. They are available for rent both short-term and long-term, and can be found in cities and hotspot destinations across the US and abroad.

Want the freedom to cook your own food and relax in your own family room, just without the hassle of a fully-fledged apartment? A condominium resort could be the answer. You'll still keep some of the frills of a hotel, with a dedicated reception and on-demand room service, only with the privacy of your own personal pad. It's a truly versatile option for both families and solo travelers.

There are high-rise condos that mingle with the looping rollercoasters of Orlando. There's the Noelani complex by the sea and wave-washed shores of paradisiacal West Maui. And there are oodles of other condominium property choices following the resort model in popular beach towns, next to shimmering lagoon pools, or in snow-doused mountain resorts around the US and abroad. The upshot is that they are a mainstay of major vacationing hotspots.

The cost of a condominium resort vacation varies from place to place, condo to condo. You can pay 1000s a night for the plushest pads, with expectations of sea views and big communal pool and gym spaces. Or, you could pay less for a smaller flat in an inner-city spot. It's also worth remembering that deals are often available for long-term rentals in condominium resorts.

It's now super-easy to hone in on the condominium resort that's perfect for you. You just need to search Expedia as you would for a normal hotel or a vacation rental, using the wizard above to locate the condo-hotel you like the most. You can also often save plenty of dollars by packing flights, car rentals, and accommodation into the same booking.

Condo resorts are all about getting more space to spread out while still retaining some of the perks of a hotel resort. That means self-catering kitchens, comfy private lounges, decks or balconies, and separate bedrooms are normal, all while glimmering communal pools, sunning terraces, and dedicated front desk receptions await.

The former is essentially the latter, but by definition it comes with a few additional services added on top. Yes, you'll have that self-catering kitchen and dining space, but you can also order up room service or get your towels replaced on a daily basis.
