You may not have considered going on a resort vacation simply because you think it will be too expensive. However, it would be a shame to miss out because they can actually be quite affordable. The truth is a vacation in a resort like Park City can be a great option at any time of the year, whether you visit in the winter for skiing, or in the summer for outdoor activities.
Here are ways to enjoy your resort vacation without having to worry about cleaning out the bank account.
Choose the Right Time to Go
First of all, try to avoid the peak seasons when you go to a resort for your vacation. In the winter, this includes Christmas and New Year, as well as spring break. Instead, try to go in the off-season when prices are lower and you can save a lot of money.
Book Well in Advance
The earlier you book, the better it is for saving money. Not only do prices for accommodation, activities, and transport tend to be cheaper, but you can also spend more time comparing the best deals. Go online and look around to see what you can find, and spend a while taking your time over it. Create a list of the best prices in a spreadsheet and use this to book different parts of your trip like the transport and accommodation.
Choose Self-Catering Over Hotels
You can easily save a large amount of money by booking self-catering accommodation over a hotel. Self-catered options like REBL Rentals will help you to cut your costs, and it is also a more fun way to stay in a resort if you travel as a group because you will be staying together rather than all staying in different hotel rooms. As well as often being much better value, you will also get more freedom.
Save Money on Food
If you eat out every day, the costs will soon add up. So go for a few meals, but consider cooking your own as well. You can prepare breakfast in the accommodation, take a picnic lunch with you during the day, and prepare a hot dinner in the evening—all for less than you would pay to go out for meals.
Find Low-Cost Activities
The great thing about resorts is that there are always cheaper activity options available. For example, if you had to Park City, you could easily spend a day in Jordanelle State Park nearby where you can go hiking and cycling. You may need to hire gear, but some activities don’t require much and you may already have your own gear.
You Can Enjoy A Resort Vacation
There is no need to avoid booking a resort vacation if it is just the price putting you off. You can easily save money and still have a great time in any resort as long as you prepare properly. So make sure you look into it and start planning early to give yourself time to look at the prices and create a budget, then book your holiday to a resort and enjoy a fantastic vacation.

When we are planning to have a vacation in a resort, we really do avoid peak season because the price will double or even triple from the regular rate. And we usually book in advance, about 2 or 3 months, this really save us a lot.
