Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard or Deluxe View Queen Room at The Claridge Hotel in Miami Beach

Mediterranean Revival Hotel in Miami Beach's Art Deco District

Nearly a thousand candy-colored buildings line the streets of Miami Beach's historical Art Deco District. It's one of the world's largest neighborhoods for art-deco architecture. One of the main drags, Collins Avenue, has been nicknamed "Millionaire's Row" for its array of posh hotels and Spanish mansions. Built in the 1920s and completely renovated in 2000, The Claridge Hotel stands right on Millionaire's Row; it has a retro vibe with Mediterranean influences, including a stucco exterior and terra cotta roof tiles. The historical hotel is located just steps from the beach and 15 minutes from the trendy downtown area.

The atrium-style lobby resembles a hacienda with its dramatic archways and wrought-iron accents. Sunlight pours in from an expansive skylight onto Spanish-style tiles, which follow to the hotel's unique pool and spa. There's a large jacuzzi here, and it's a nice place to come unwind before turning in for the night.

Up in the rooms, warm golden hues, live tropical plants, and handmade, imported Spanish furniture recall the rustic Mediterranean countryside. Some deluxe rooms have french doors that open onto a private balcony.

At Amalfi on the Beach, chef Jose Davila crafts creative Italian entrees. Head out to the outdoor seating area to try Amalfi's signature crab cakes ($12.95) or the creamy fettuccine carbonara ($18.95). On the weekends, live music plays on the patio. Alternatively, there's the open-air Terrace Lounge, where you can sip a cocktail or glass of wine.

Miami Beach: Pristine Oceanfront and Latin-Flavored Culture

Miami Beach is set along a series of barrier islands separated from Miami proper by Biscayne Bay. The southernmost portion, South Beach, is known all over the world for its vibrant, pastel-colored art-deco hotels and rollicking nightlife. But the rest of Miami Beach has charms of its own. Water temperatures at the city's pristine beaches stay on the good side of 70 degrees all year long, and views of the Atlantic Ocean are unparalleled. A seaside boardwalk stretches for more than 70 blocks, providing a scenic pathway for jogging, biking, or conga-lining your way from North Beach to South Beach.

No trip to Miami Beach is complete without sampling some authentic Cuban food, such as the medianoche sandwiches available at any local joint. Latin flavor seeps into the music scene, too, inspiring bouts of salsa dancing after a few rum-soaked mojitos at one of the nightclubs along Ocean Drive. A morning-after swim in the calm Atlantic is a good way to restore equilibrium

Four-Day, Three-Night Wild in Costa Rica Package with Lodging and Tours from Desafio Adventure Company in Costa Rica

Outdoor Adventure amid Costa Rica's Canyons, Rainforests, and Rivers

Arenal Volcano rises more than a mile into the sky. Its conical peak towers above the surrounding rainforest, which is home to howler monkeys, coatis, and toucans. On a four-day, three-night tour from Desafio Adventure Company, you can take an expedition across the mountain slopes, river rapids, and lush jungles that make up Arenal Volcano National Park. Each trip also includes local accommodations and Costa Rican cuisine. View the full itinerary.

Alternatively, you can also embark on a laid-back safari float, where you might catch a glimpse of crocodiles, sloths, or iguanas.

Day 3: The day begins with a canyoneering tour in the mountains surrounding the volcano.

Three- or Four-Night Stay with Massages and Airport Transfer at Villas Hermosa Heights in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Family-Friendly Hotel Overlooking Picturesque Playa Hermosa

With its unquestionably scenic spot along Costa Rica?s northwestern Pacific coast, it makes sense that Playa Hermosa?s name translates to ?beautiful beach? in Spanish. Fodor?s says the gray sand beach?s ?sea views are as picturesque as they get, with bobbing fishing boats, jagged profiles of coastline, [and] rocky outcroppings.? Taking advantage of these surroundings, the villas at Villas Hermosa Heights have been built on the side of a hill, giving many units direct views of the nearby Gulf of Papagayo?one of the Pacific?s largest gulfs. Just a 10-minute walk from the beach, the resort blends seamlessly into its environment, with 20 acres of unspoiled forest behind its buildings.

Hermosa Heights? two-bedroom villas have Spanish-tiled roofs, full kitchens, and spacious living rooms. For a break from the beach, guests can spend a few hours at the onsite movie theater, which caters to kids in the afternoon and adults at night. Splash in the resort?s two-tiered pool by careening down one of two water slides, or simply sunbathe with a poolside drink. For more relaxation, use one of your included deep-tissue massage treatments at the onsite spa, Aguas de Hermosa, where technicians perform a range of facials and massages in a soothing setting.

Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Forested Mountains and Legendary Surfing Beaches

The province of Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica takes its name from the Guanacaste tree, an umbrella-shaped species also known, less picturesquely, as the earpod tree. These trees blanket the slopes of the Guanacaste and Tilaran Mountains, helping to shelter the coastline from rainstorms, keeping beaches fairly warm and dry even during the rainy season (from May to mid-November).

Stick to the shore of bustling Playas del Coco to find plenty of waterfront activities and a lively nightlife scene, or head farther afield to take in some of the province's national parks. Starting in October, Marino las Baulas National Park serves as a major nesting ground for leatherback turtles. And in the north, Santa Rosa National Park is known for its legendary surf breaks, including one made famous by the documentary The Endless Summer II.

All-Inclusive Four-, Five-, Six-, or Seven-Night Stay at Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino - Sint Maarten

Sweeping Ocean Views and Buzzing Nightspots in the Heart of Maho Bay

The view from St. Maarten?s west coast is most dramatic around dinnertime, when the sun dips below the Caribbean horizon?a sweeping, peach-hued sky that?s uninterrupted save for a few sailboats. There are few better seats for this nightly show than at Ocean Terrace Restaurant, a Mediterranean-inspired eatery with patio tables overlooking the water. It?s one of several picture-perfect settings at the all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino - Sint Maarten, located along 10 beachfront acres.

You can enjoy some of the best vistas from the privacy of your pool/ocean-view balconies. In deference to the natural splendor outside, rooms are simply furnished with cream-colored wood furniture, one king bed or two full beds, and tropical bedspreads in red, gold, and blue. In addition to Ocean Terrance Restaurant, the resort?s other onsite dining establishments pair delightful dishes with tranquil views: The Point Restaurant serves fresh seafood and a wide selection of wines in a tropical garden setting, and cooks at the more-casual Palms Grill barbecue meat and toss salads alongside the beach.

The palm-shaded swimming pool is one of the resort's social hubs. A wooden footbridge spans the water, just a few strokes away from a fully stocked swim-up bar. For a livelier atmosphere, take a stroll to Casino Royale, one of the island?s largest casinos. You can wager your $20 resort credit at any of the 400 slot machines or try your luck at craps, blackjack, poker, and roulette. The party continues into the wee hours at the resort's Tantra nightclub, where DJs spin Latin, reggae, and R&B beats next to a swirling dance floor.

St. Maarten: Tropical Paradise with Vibrant Nightlife

Located just south of Anguilla in the Caribbean, the island of St. Maarten was ranked on U.S. News & World Report?s list of the Best Islands in the World for its ?soaring mountains and cream-colored shorelines.? The island is split between the French northern half and the Dutch south, with the resort located just below the border in Dutch St. Maarten. From here, the hotel?s activities desk can help to organize several memorable outings, including parasail flights, kayak or waverunner tours, deep-sea fishing, and leisurely horseback rides through wooded mountains.

Arguably the nightlife capital of St. Maarten, Maho Village hums with excitement after dark, especially when the Casino Royale dancers take to the streets to light up the night with sassy Caribbean dance moves. At the Maho Promenade, situated in the center of Maho Village, 40 duty-free boutiques sell fine jewelry, watches, and handsome handicrafts. Most shops, caf?s, and restaurants stay open until 11 p.m., allowing travelers to enjoy their nightcaps on warm, open-air patios surrounded by a soundtrack of music and revelry.

The hotel?s Los Mangos executive golf course juts out over the sea, its lush green replete with nine holes. Basketball, tennis, and beach-volleyball courts are also sprinkled across the grounds. Come nightfall, party at the onsite Vibe and Ice nightclubs (drinks not included), or opt for entertainment at the hotel?s two theaters: Colosseum and Lights, Camera, Action.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic: Waterfalls, Beaches, and Centuries-Old Historical Sites

Situated on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata is best known for its sun-kissed beaches. But the province has several breathtaking geographical features inland as well. Damajagua is a natural water park of sorts?it features 27 waterfalls flowing from limestone rock formations. Tour guides lead groups up and back through the falls, and you can swim and occasionally slide down the natural water slides.

You can also get an aerial view of Puerto Plata and the Caribbean Sea on a telef?rico, or cable car. One of them in particular climbs 2,565 feet to the apex of Mount Isabela de Torres, which is crowned with blooming botanical gardens and a replica of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer, a massive open-armed statue.

It's also worth it to take a scenic drive to Parque Hist?rico La Isabela, where you'll find the remains of a church as well as ruins of a colonial village where Columbus routinely woke his neighbors by blasting the Santa Maria's foghorn.

Three-, Five, or Seven-Night Stay with Optional Activities at Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Costa Rica Villas close to Surfing Beaches

Though there are many spots to take in beautiful views around Tamarindo Costa Rica, Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas lays claim to truly stunning scenery: from the pool patio's hilltop vantage point at the edge of town, you can see 2 miles of white-sand Pacific beaches below, curving in a crescent shape and extending to the surf breaks of Playa Tamarindo and Playa Grande. The hotel has its own mini waterfall and a palapa swim-up bar surrounded by lush tropical greenery and palm trees where you can order a fruity margarita. A short stroll from the Spanish-style compound leads to the beach, and the villas are only a five-minute walk from the center of town, where local vendors sell a variety of handicrafts.

Each one-bedroom, 700-square foot Tropical suite has a full kitchen, a separate living room, and a private patio that looks out over the Pacific. In the morning, head downstairs for a complimentary continental breakfast, which includes fresh local fruit and a station where you can roast your own cup of or fill an industrial vat with Costa Rican coffee. From there, the day's activities might include surfing, snorkeling, or salsa lessons (included with some deal options), or a visit to the onsite surf shop to pick up your own equipment.

Tamarindo, Costa Rica: Jungle Adventure and Lively Nightlife

Tamarindo?s wildlife parks, nature preserves, and fishing communities are filled with rare, diverse animal species, making it an ideal destination for eco-tourism. One such park, the Marino las Baulas National Park, is a protected area for leatherback turtles, the largest marine reptile; take a guided nighttime tour to see the endangered animals. On the Pacific, rent jet skis and charter sportfishing vessels, or take riverboat nature tours that explore the backwaters' exotic flora and fauna. The local rainforests are home to varied wildlife, including congo monkeys, wild boars, and hundreds of bird species.

Thanks to consistent sunshine, you can dine outdoors in Tamarindo year-round. The beach town's restaurants run the culinary gamut from Italian, Asian, and French to authentic local cuisines. As the sun sets, the sleepy village awakens with its vibrant nightlife. Begin with a backdrop of live music and televised sporting events at the hotel's Crazy Monkey Bar, and continue evenings at one of Tamarindo's many watering holes.

A wrought-iron gate opens into an alley wall lined with bright verdant foliage and skinny trees. This greenery snakes onto a stone path, which leads to Synergy Yoga?s curved red doors. The first thing that hits visitors inside the yoga sanctuary is the color: mustard-yellow and two-tone green walls, red accents up the stairs, and crisp white moulding. The main studio swims with light filtered in from high windows set in the towering two-story ceilings, light that bounces off the white walls and cascades down to the wood flooring.

Focused on supporting the community, Synergy Yoga aims to include all walks of life. Kids' yoga invites youngsters to develop their flexibility, and very advanced yogis can turn their passion into a living with teacher training. Healing arts such as psychic medium reading, meditation, or massage soothe guests in need of some extra care.
