3 Great Military Resorts You Have Never Heard Of
Most military members are aware of at least some of the military-run resorts that are set up to offer military families as first-class hotel at a discounted rate. The four resorts are:
Shades of Green at Disneyworld
Hale Koa in Waikiki, HI
Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul, Korea
Edelweiss in Garmisch, Germany (the German Alps)
All of these are fantastic to stay at, I particularly enjoyed staying at Edelweiss during my first R&R from Iraq.
However, there are several lesser known military resorts that I find many people are totally unaware of and thus never that advantage of. Here are a few:
PARC is comprised of 39 beachfront cabins, one distinguished visitor cabin, an equipment rental center, club facility and cove pavilion area for group outings. All cabins are air conditioned, with ceiling fans, cable TV and telephone. The kitchens are equipped with cooking utensils, tableware, dishes and linen, a private sundeck and barbecue grill.
I love this one as it is a nice quiet way to enjoy Hawaii and sits near my favorite beach on Oahu. A real get away as opposed to the excitment of Waikiki.
sits amidst spectacular scenery, natural wonders, and cultural treasures
including the marvels of the active Kilauea Volcano. Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park is Hawaii’s number one visitor attraction in the state featuring one of the
most active volcano on earth. It has also been designated as a World Heritage
Site (one of 20 in the United States) by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as well as an International
Biosphere Reserve.
It is of note that the eligibilty requirements for lodging at Edelweiss have changed significantly in the last several years. Short version is that you need to be stationed or TDY in Europe to be eligible now.

@Ryan – Thanks, you’re right that’s a significant change.
