RCI subscribing members also now have the option to visit the Cameron Club Lodges, which is situated beside the serene Loch Lomond in Alexandria, Scotland. Upon entering the estate, guests are welcomed on both sides of the entrance with golf courses and stunning water features. The resort also houses the relaxing and rejuvenating Loch Lomond Spa, which has been voted Scotland's best hotel spa three years in a row. With accommodations ranging from two-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom luxury lodges, the resort can be great for either a couple's retreat or a family vacation.
