Sometimes, after an on-the-go vacation day loaded with sightseeing and chasing down some family fun, there’s no better way to spend the evening than by getting some rest and relaxation back in your hotel room. And the same sentiment can even apply at earlier hours, for example, when inclement weather forces your vacation crew to spend a full day indoors.

Fortunately for guests at The Strand Resort, the time spent lounging around the resort or in the room doesn’t have to be boring, thanks to a long list of on-property amenities. And one particularly fun and relaxing way to spend some family time at the resort, day or night, is to take advantage of one of the resort’s most popular extras — DVD Now.

Whether on a rainy day or an evening spent relaxing in your room, you can keep your party entertained with free and unlimited DVD rentals throughout your stay at The Strand. Just head to the DVD Now rental kiosk found in the resort lobby to choose your favorite titles.

Bonus: With the holiday season nearly upon us, a number of popular holiday-themed titles will be available via the service this fall and winter. Consider one of these holiday hits during your next stay at The Strand:

Halloween — For those who enjoy a good scare around the most frightful of the holidays, a number of horror titles will be on tap in the DVD Now kiosk at The Strand. Options will include the 2019 version of the classic ’80s horror flick “Child’s Play,” which puts an modern-day spin on the powers of sinister (and self-aware) doll Chucky, as well as “Annabelle Comes Home,” another spooky tale about a possessed doll that performs regular acts of evil.

Thanksgiving — Among the available DVD Now titles with a Turkey Day theme will be 2012 romantic comedy “Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade,” which follows an eager Chicago parade planner as she unexpectedly falls for a rich consultant brought in to evaluate the parade’s finances, and “Thanksgiving Dance,” an animated kids’ film that tells the story of how baby turkey Little Peepz — with the help of some furry, feathered and scaled friends — overcomes a bout of stage fright to prepare for the town’s holiday dance-off.

Christmas — Family-friendly Christmas classics are always a hit during the “most wonderful time of the year,” and DVD Now has those covered, too. Among the yuletide entertainment options available in the DVD Now kiosk are 2019 family comedy “Santa Fake,” a “fish out of water” tale that follows a young Irish immigrant on a whirlwind adventure from New York to Santa Fe; 2019 family film “2nd Chance for Christmas,” a contemporary take on Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” with a spoiled pop star serving as the lead character who is visited by the spirits of Christmas past, present and future; and family-friendly drama “Christmas on the Range,” in which cowgirl Kendall fights to save the family ranch — and finds a potential love interest in an assumed rival along the way.

After seeing a Hollywood hit in your room at The Strand Resort, let the relaxation continue by enjoying some of the property’s other, wide-ranging on-site amenities.
