It's not every day that a five-star resort offers a 50% discount, so we did a double take at the upcoming 72-hour sale at The Broadmoor, a historic luxury resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado. From Friday, April 24, to Sunday, April 26, every room category—including the brand new Broadmoor Cottages—can be booked for half the regular price. Peak summer rates can run $430 a night for a room or as hight as $900 a night for a suite, so a 50% discount means tremendous savings.

The resort has a lot going on for families, including two pools, three hot tubs, six tennis courts, three 18-hole golf courses, an award-winning spa, fitness center, on-site movie theater, and well-regarded children's programs.

To get in on the sale, book online or call 800/634-7711 for travel dates between April 24 and December 31. Note: There are some blackout dates, and sale rates do not include taxes and fees.
