Escape the winter blues this season with jaw-dropping rates at the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba. Now through March 31, the hotel is offering 60 percent off rack rates (normally $325/night and up) from only $130/night. (Rates are for its European Plan package which doesn’t include meals.) This offer should appeal to singles, couples, and families alike – prices are based on single or double occupancy, and kids under 17 stay and eat free when sharing a room with their parents. There’s plenty to keep guests of all ages busy at the beachfront resort, from snorkeling and parasailing to the casino and spa, and each of the 607 rooms has a private balcony or patio.

To ensure these great rates, a two-night minimum stay is required. The offer applies to all room categories except suites and the Lanai Room. Blackout dates include February 12-15. Book by March 29 by calling 800-465-4329 or visit caribbeanhi.com/aruba.

Holiday Inn is also offering significant savings on all-inclusive stays during this period. And if you can’t get away before April, the resort is continuing the discounts through December 23 with 55 percent off European Plan stays, though standard rates dip much lower in early April. Blackout dates include April 1-4. Book by December 21.
