Hotel at a Glance: Royal Palm South Beach Miami 

This art-deco beachfront hotel sits in the heart of South Beach. The boutique property features a handsome, refreshed look that feels modern while paying homage to the city’s historic roots. A multilingual staff is on hand to cater to your every need.

• Location, location, location: The hotel overlooks Miami’s iconic Ocean Drive, which abounds with nightlife, restaurants, and boutiques.
• Spacious, stylish guest rooms feature modern decor, Intelligent Nutrients bath products, fully stocked pantries, and views of the Atlantic Ocean or Miami cityscape.
• Cool off in one of two outdoor swimming pools facing the Atlantic.
• Sip a signature cocktail at the outdoor lounge.
• Sample regional fare made with fresh, local ingredients at the hotel’s nationally recognized restaurant, Florida Cookery.

Miami’s South Beach: World-Famous Nightlife and Art-Deco Icons

Just east of downtown Miami, on the barrier island that forms Miami Beach, you’ll find one of the world’s nightlife capitals: South Beach. The clubs along Ocean Drive are legendary for their boisterous, all-night blowouts—and for good reason. With all the rum-soaked mojitos, colorful neon, and celebrity sightings, it can feel like an endless party. Perhaps that’s why the area pops up so often in film and TV shows, including Burn Notice and ­The Birdcage.

The coast of South Beach is known as Lummus Park, which Frommer’s calls Miami’s “best beach for people-watching.” While the bleached sand and curving palms are gorgeous, they’re almost overshadowed by the chiseled beach-goers dotting the sand. From here, a wood-slat boardwalk runs all the way up to North Beach, attracting joggers and roller bladers. Head across the bay, to South Pointe Park or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, for quieter, more secluded shores.

It’s easy enough to spend the entirety of a trip to South Beach face-down on a beach towel, but that would mean missing out on the city’s other offerings. The famous art-deco district, with its iconic, streamlined hotels in pastel shades, was the first 20th-century neighborhood to be recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Every morning at 10:30, local experts from the Miami Design Preservation League lead a 90-minute walking tour that highlights the neighborhood’s signature architecture.

Both ships feature onsite casinos, multiple pools, and numerous bars and lounges. After perusing all the duty-free stores in your ship’s shopping arcade or getting pampered at the onboard spa, you can grab unlimited bites with dining options that range from classic American fare to gourmet Italian cuisine.

Where You’ll Stop Along the Way

Though the daily itineraries vary depending on the departure city and date, all of the cruises share these destinations in common:

• Panama Canal: You’ll spend an entire day cruising this enclosed waterway alongside dozens of freighters, tankers, and other boats who need to efficiently travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific (or vice versa). Along the way, you’ll marvel at the engineering prowess of the 19th- and early-20th-century engineers, who made it possible for the canal’s impressive lock system to raise and lower your 100,000 ton cruise ship.
• Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: With a location on the globe that sits 10 degrees below the Tropic of Cancer, this tropical burg on the southern tip of Baja California enjoys pleasant weather all year. Here, you’ll be able to sample local tequilas, dig into fresh, grilled seafood, and join a conga line at one of the many clubs.
• Acapulco, Mexico: The towering Sierra Madre del Sur mountains create a stunning backdrop to the tropical resort city’s beaches, night clubs, and world-class golf courses. Along the shore, you’ll also find the iconic La Quebrada cliff, which performers use as a launching spot for gripping 40-meter dives into the small cove below.
• Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala: As Guatemala’s largest port along the Pacific Ocean, this beachside district offers plenty of shopping opportunities for cruise ship passengers. More spots of interest, however, lie about an hour outside of the port, where you’ll find mountainous regions flush with coffee plantations, inactive volcanoes, and Mayan ruins.
• Nicaragua: Depending on the cruise you choose, you’ll either visit Corinto, which is known for its world-renowned white sand beaches and strikingly blue (and dangerous) waters, or San Juan del Sur—a beachy hub with a towering hillside statue of Christ that’s dotted with clapboard Victorian houses and tons of shops, clubs, and restaurants.
• Puntarenas, Costa Rica: Puntarenas is Costa Rica’s largest province, extending more than 500 miles from the Panama-Costa Rica border up to the Gulf of Nicoya. In Puntarenas, you’re never far from surfer-friendly beaches, national parks, and nature reserves, making the area a popular ecotourism spot.
• Cartagena, Colombia: Beyond the beaches, cafes, and salsa-centric clubs, you’ll find no shortage of fascinating history. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to sprawling plazas, well-preserved colonial architecture, and several museums.

Airbrush Tans

• $25 for one ($45 value)
• $60 for three ($135 value)
• $119 for six ($270 value)

Sunless Tanning: Give Your Skin Some Sugar

A spray tan is obviously different from sunbathing, but it’s also more complex than simply painting over the skin. Check out our explanation to learn the science behind sunless tanning.

Besides covering your body in beige post-its, there are two primary ways to get a rich, deep tan without exposure to UV rays: bronzers and self-tanners. Based on a combination of moisturizers and tinted powders, bronzers stain the skin to darken it temporarily, resulting in a synthetic tan that can easily be scrubbed off with soap and water. Self-tanners, meanwhile, actually affect the skin on a cellular level, emulating the natural effects of sunlight to create a lasting color. Available in forms ranging from lotions to airbrush sprays, self-tanners make use of a colorless sugar compound called dihydroxyacetone, more commonly known as DHA.

When applied to the skin, DHA triggers a safe chemical reaction—similar to the browning effect on bread’s outer crust—in amino acids on the skin’s surface, producing complex polymers called melanoidins. These polymers exhibit a darkened appearance virtually identical to the natural pigmentation caused by melanin during UV exposure. Unlike sun tanning, however, this process only affects the cells in the outermost layer of the epidermis, and since the body sloughs off millions of surface-level skin cells everyday—billions when we wear our trendiest sandpaper suits—sunless tans tend to fade significantly after about two days.

Resort at a Glance: The Grand Lifestyle at Grand Oasis Cancun

The Grand Lifestyle at Grand Oasis Cancun occupies a prime spot of beachfront property in one of Latin America’s most popular vacation destinations. Your all-inclusive stay covers three daily meals, unlimited beverages, and a bottle of wine to welcome you. With more than 29 restaurants and 20 bars onsite, the options are nearly endless, too. On hot afternoons, the long, winding pool draws energetic visitors to socialize and swim.

• Room with a view: Sian Kaan and Pyramid rooms overlook the Caribbean Sea or Nichupte Lagoon (subject to availability). Each unit features a minibar, Bvlgari bath products, and high-speed Internet for one device.
• Daily entertainment: The resort employs a cast of more than 50 singers, acrobats, and comedians dedicated to keeping guests happy.
• Go on an excursion to the ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, the site of the iconic stone pyramid El Castillo. This Groupon includes an excursion for two per stay.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best way to travel to the hotel from the airport? Cancún International Airport (CUN) is 20–30 minutes from the property.

Salt Rooms: Relief is in the Air

Europeans have long held that breathing in salt has therapeutic properties. Read on to learn more about halotherapy.

Designed to mimic the natural salt caves common throughout Eastern Europe, manmade salt rooms often feature walls of saline crystals that sparkle amid sodium stalactites and piles of rock salt that blanket the floor. Rather than taking salt from the table or extracting it from soy sauce, these rooms often import their furniture from locales such as the Black Sea, whose briny waters have been said to hold therapeutic properties for centuries. Meanwhile, generators release microscopic salt particles into the room, filling inhabitants’ lungs and—according to many accounts—restoring their ability to breathe.

Though no clinical studies in the United States have yet proven the efficacy of what is known as halotherapy or speleotherapy, many cultures in Europe—and, increasingly, North America—swear by it. Experience suggests that even a single session in a salt room can help loosen mucus, clear lung and nasal passages, easing the symptoms of respiratory problems such as asthma, allergies, and clogged scuba hoses. The particles have also been reported to soothe skin ailments such as eczema and psoriasis, and the relaxing atmosphere of salt rooms undoubtedly triggers a key benefit: reducing stress.   Along with the anecdotal evidence, some scientists have begun to support the idea of halotherapy. A recent study found that Australian surfers with cystic fibrosis noted improvement in their breathing after inhaling sea spray, while another found that inhaling aerosolized salt improve smoking-related coughing and mucus production. Still, experts recommend only using salt-room treatments as a complement to modern medicine. As always, consult a doctor before entering a salty vault.

Cellulite: Anatomy of the Dimples

Cellulite doesn’t have a cure, but science has developed treatments that, in some cases, can help minimize it. Learn what lies just beneath the skin with Groupon’s take on the bumpy bodily phenomenon.

Colloquial language has come up with a number of not-so-flattering terms to describe cellulite, but beyond its aesthetics, cellulite poses no particular risk. Put simply, cellulite is the bumpy texture produced by fatty deposits resting just below the epidermal surface. As the skin thins with age, cellulite often becomes more visible: as fat bulges outward and the connective tissue reaching down to the muscle tugs back, the surface of the thighs, buttocks, belly, or upper arms forms little dimples. More common in women than men thanks to their thinner skin, higher levels of estrogen, and characteristic patterns of fat distribution, cellulite has myriad causes that range from hormonal changes to diet, genetics, and blood circulation.

Because cellulite’s structure is so complex, it’s not easy to attack—even invasive methods such as traditional liposuction leave cellulite in place. Although it’s just about impossible to prevent cellulite from forming, doctors and aestheticians have proposed a variety of ways to diminish its appearance. From lasers that break apart fatty deposits to retinol creams to massage techniques that increase the flow of blood to cellulite-ridden areas, the med-spa bag of tricks is deep and eclectic. Because many of these treatments are quite new, it’s often difficult to judge their long-term permanence. Although diet and exercise won’t remove cellulite, they may make it less noticeable through weight loss, increased muscle tone, or the fact that you’re jumping on that trampoline too quickly for anyone to tell.

Hotel at a Glance: LQ Hotel by La Quinta Cancun

Though it’s not on the beach, LQ Hotel by La Quinta Cancun makes up for the lack of sand with an outdoor swimming pool and a location in the heart of town. You can easily go shopping at one of the largest shopping malls in Cancun, Malecon Americas, a 10-minute walk away.

• Awards: The hotel has won TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence four times.
• Where you’ll stay: Guest rooms are decorated in a soothing, neutral color palette and equipped with mini fridges, microwaves, coffee maker and free WiFi.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the best way to travel to the hotel from the airport? Cancún International Airport (CUN) is about 11 miles from the property. A taxi costs about US $20.

2. Is there an additional occupancy fee, or do I have to purchase another Groupon? The Groupon covers two guests. Adding occupants above standard is $20 per night for each additional guest 12 or older; kids 11 or younger stay free.

3. Which activities and amenities are included in the resort credits? Resort credit is not included with the Groupon.

Hotel at a Glance: Wyndham Garden Palmas Del Mar

Though this all-inclusive resort is on a Caribbean island, US citizens don’t need their passports to visit—Wyndham Garden Palmas Del Mar is set along the picture-perfect beaches of Puerto Rico’s eastern coast. Stays come with a wealth of all-inclusive perks, including three daily meals and unlimited domestic beer and house-brand cocktails. You’ll also have access to many upscale amenities on the Palmas del Mar campus.

• Try your luck at the onsite casino’s slot machines and table games.

• Other things to do: Go horseback riding along the beach or tee off at the Palmas del Mar Golf Club.

Eastern Puerto Rico: Rainforests, Beaches, and Spanish Colonial History

Located just east of the Dominican Republic, the US commonwealth of Puerto Rico attracts mainland Americans looking for an exotic Caribbean destination without the need for a passport. Though Puerto Rico’s small size (it’s about as large as Connecticut) makes it possible to see the whole territory in one trip, its eastern regions provide the best combination of outdoor trips and cultural activities. About an hour’s drive east of San Juan lies El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the US National Forest system, containing hundreds of exotic plant and animal species within its 28,000 acres. After hiking through this often-misty forest, take a short drive to the eastern coast and board a public ferry to Puerto Rico’s two less-populated islands—Vieques and Culebra. Both are well known for first-rate fishing, snorkeling, and diving waters.

Located along the island’s northeastern coast, the capital city of San Juan opens a window into Puerto Rico’s Spanish colonial past with historical mansions, cathedrals, and aimlessly wandering conquistadors. The city’s historical section is called Old San Juan, settled by the Spanish in 1521. Here, you’ll see blue-cobblestone streets, centuries-old churches, and a 42-foot wall that once protected the city. To delve into the island’s artistic culture, head to the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, which displays a collection of pieces dating back to the 17th century.

Hotel at a Glance: Richmond Hotel

In 1941, just before America entered World War II, entrepreneur and world traveler Peres Seltzer’s main business was importing zippers from Japan. When he realized trade with Japan would likely cease in the coming months, he built a hotel in Miami Beach instead, one that mimicked the grand style of ocean liners. The Richmond Hotel has been located directly on the beach ever since. Its clean art-deco lines, beach location, and iconic neon sign make it a popular upscale destination. It’s still owned by the same family, too.

• Oceanfront location: The hotel is on the beach, so you can stroll to the shoreline along the Love Bridge.
• Stylish rooms are decorated with art-deco touches such as authentic period lamps and chic bathroom tiles.
• Verandah Café: Enjoy breakfast and lunch at the café, and kick off your vacation with included welcome drinks.
• Escape the heat and dive into the outdoor pool, which is surrounded by palm trees and white cabana tents.

Miami’s South Beach: World-Famous Nightlife and Art Deco Icons

Just east of downtown Miami, on the barrier island that forms Miami Beach, you’ll find one of the world’s nightlife capitals: South Beach. The clubs along Ocean Drive are legendary for their boisterous, all-night blowouts—and for good reason. With all the rum-soaked mojitos, colorful neon, and celebrity sightings, it can feel like an endless party. Perhaps that’s why the area pops up so often in film and TV shows, including Burn Notice and ­The Birdcage.

The coast of South Beach is known as Lummus Park, which Frommer’s calls Miami’s “best beach for people-watching.” While the bleached sand and curving palms are gorgeous, they’re almost overshadowed by the chiseled beach-goers dotting the sand. From here, a wood-slat boardwalk runs all the way up to North Beach, attracting joggers and roller bladers. Head across the bay, to South Pointe Park or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, for quieter, more secluded shores.

It’s easy enough to spend the entirety of a trip to South Beach face-down on a beach towel, but that would mean missing out on the city’s other offerings. The famous Art Deco District, with its iconic, streamlined hotels in pastel shades, was the first 20th-century neighborhood to be recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Every morning at 10:30, local experts from the Miami Design Preservation League lead a 90-minute walking tour that highlights the neighborhood’s signature architecture.

Sunny Isles Beach, Florida: Tropical Oasis North of Miami

Sunny Isles Beach experienced a renaissance in the late 1990s, when the main thoroughfare, Collins Avenue, transformed from a rambling row of motels into a luxury strip of oceanfront high-rises and resorts. The city lies halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, with 2.5 miles of uninterrupted shoreline running alongside it. It’s home to the half-mile-long Newport Fishing Pier, the only remaining public pier in Miami-Dade County.

Starting daily at 9:15 a.m., lifeguards take to their stands along the city’s beaches. Samson Oceanfront Park is a family-friendly escape, and Jet Ski King rents jet skis, banana boats, and waverunners for adventures on the Atlantic Ocean.

Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago: Unspoiled Island Paradise in the Caribbean Sea

The little island of Tobago floats on the southern end of the Caribbean Sea, fewer than 150 miles from the shores of South America. It’s just northeast of the larger island of Trinidad—together, the two islands comprise one republic. Tobago is the less developed of the two; it’s known for beautiful forests and unspoiled beaches.

Located in the center of Tobago is the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, which became a protected area in 1776—making it the oldest rainforest reserve in the Caribbean. Hiking trails crisscross the virtually untouched tropical wilderness, where you might see rare birds such as the island’s famous blue-crowned motmot.

The biggest crowds you’re likely to find in Tobago gather on the beaches, though some of them, such as Englishman’s Bay, are often empty. The island’s capital city, Scarborough, has a population of only 17,000 people, but there are a number of traditional Caribbean restaurants and handicraft markets. To get a taste of Tobago’s past as a colonial port, stop by the sprawling Fort King George. Set near the coastline, the fort’s landscaped grounds are still dotted with original cannons.

Saint Martin: Scenic Shorelines, Lively Nightlife, and Boutique Shopping

The island of Saint Martin, located just south of Anguilla in the Caribbean, was ranked on U.S. News & World Report’s list of the Best Islands in the World for its “soaring mountains and beautiful shorelines.” This gorgeous topography has been peacefully shared by the French and the Dutch for more than 350 years, giving the island two very distinct yet harmonious personalities. Both parts of the island, however, feature crystal-clear bays filled with fascinating coral structures and tropical fish. On the French side, it’s worth it to take a guided snorkeling trip through Creole Rock, which has a collection of boulders encircled by reefs. Dolphins, eagle rays, and barracudas are frequently spotted here.

The Dutch side is known for its quiet beaches and lively nightlife. Casual barbecue restaurants known as lolos line the shore; they serve up heaping portions of creole ribs and rice alongside guava-berry rum. The bars of Simpson Bay are filled with live music and neon lights, and when those close, locals and visitors alike keep the party going at 24-hour casinos.

Maho Village—also on the Dutch side—has its fair share of casinos as well. Nightclubs here host steel-drum bands and oceanfront bonfire parties late into the night. At the Maho Promenade, situated in the center of town, 40 duty-free boutiques sell fine jewelry, watches, and handsome handicrafts. Most shops, cafés, and restaurants stay open until 11 p.m., so you can enjoy a nightcap amid open-air patios as musicians and dancers perform nearby.

Key West, Florida: Dazzling Sunsets, Six-Toed Cats, and Cuban Culture

Located just off Florida’s southernmost tip and north of Cuba, the island of Key West is undoubtedly the most famous of the Florida Keys. Frommer’s calls it “the land of the eternal vacation.” Most tourists come to Key West’s gulf-side beaches to snorkel, surf, or fish—you can catch sailfish and barracuda near Garrison Bight Marina.

At nighttime, locals and visitors alike converge on the Mallory Square Dock to watch the sun dip below the gulf, casting swaths of deep orange and pink against the horizon. The spectacle is so breathtaking that it inspires a sunset celebration each night. The dock comes to life with traveling psychics, one-man bands, and food vendors serving fresh squeezed lemonade and conch fritters.

The island’s proximity to Cuba is reflected in many of the restaurants, where you can enjoy authentic Caribbean fare such as coconut shrimp and plantain chips. And no trip to Key West is complete without a visit to the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, where the author lived, worked, and kept his six-toed cats. More than 50 descendants of those famous felines still prowl the grounds of the museum to this day.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico: Trendy Beach Area and Diving Destination

Just across the sea from the island of Cozumel, Playa del Carmen has been called “the hippest city in all of the Yucatán Peninsula” by Lonely Planet. The laid-back beach bars and cafés have a way of converting vacationers into expats, but Playa’s most compelling draw might be its cenotes—cavernous sinkholes filled with turquoise pools. The water in the cenotes is crystal clear, particularly at the lily-pad-dotted Xlacah cenote, where you can snorkel among schools of colorful fish.

To the south, you’ll find preserved ruins of pre-Columbian cities. Tulum’s crumbling temples are situated above a dramatic ocean bluff, and Coba’s enormous pyramid rises between two lagoons. For a fun day trip, hop aboard the ferry to Cozumel, which docks less than 1 mile from the hotel at the pier east of Calle 1. There are about a dozen dive shops on Cozumel, and they offer trips offshore to the reefs that Jacques Cousteau declared some of the world’s most beautiful.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun and read Tom Clancy novels. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

Hotel at a Glance: Flamingo Beach Resort

Saint Martin: Scenic Shorelines, Lively Nightlife, and Boutique Shopping

The island of Saint Martin, located just south of Anguilla in the Caribbean, was ranked on U.S. News & World Report’s list of the Best Islands in the World for its “soaring mountains and beautiful shorelines.” This gorgeous topography has been peacefully shared by the French and the Dutch for more than 350 years, giving the island two very distinct yet harmonious personalities. Both parts of the island, however, feature crystal-clear bays filled with fascinating coral structures and tropical fish. On the French side, it’s worth it to take a guided snorkeling trip through Creole Rock, which has a collection of boulders encircled by reefs. Dolphins, eagle rays, and barracudas are frequently spotted here.

The Dutch side is known for its quiet beaches and lively nightlife. Casual barbecue restaurants known as lolos line the shore; they serve up heaping portions of creole ribs and rice alongside guava-berry rum. The bars of Simpson Bay are filled with live music and neon lights, and when those close, locals and visitors alike keep the party going at 24-hour casinos.

Maho Village—also on the Dutch side—has its fair share of casinos as well. Nightclubs here host steel-drum bands and oceanfront bonfire parties late into the night. At the Maho Promenade, situated in the center of town, 40 duty-free boutiques sell fine jewelry, watches, and handsome handicrafts. Most shops, cafés, and restaurants stay open until 11 p.m., so you can enjoy a nightcap amid open-air patios as musicians and dancers perform nearby.

Southwestern Grenada: Pristine Beaches and Vibrant Marketplaces

Although it’s made up of three islands in the West Indies, Grenada is best known for its southernmost island, which is dominated by a number of postcard-worthy beaches. Many tourists chill at Grande Anse Beach on the southwestern peninsula of the island, which is lined with shore-side bars that serve Grenadian rum.

At Grand Anse Bay’s nearby dive sites, you can explore more than a dozen shipwrecks and swim alongside seahorses and manta rays. If you’ve got kids in tow, Morne Rouge Beach is a safe bet. A short trek south of Grand Anse, Morne Rouge’s shallow waters are free of noisy watercraft, and the beach is relatively secluded.

Grenada’s capital city, St. George’s, wraps around a horseshoe-shaped harbor. Bright and early every Saturday, the city’s Market Square comes to life with native farmers who hawk fresh fruit, vegetables, handcrafted wares, and jars of nutmeg, saffron, and cinnamon.

Saint Lucia: French-Inspired Cuisine and Spectacular Volcanoes

Located in between Martinique and Saint Vincent in the eastern Caribbean, Saint Lucia was coveted by the British and French, who quarreled over the island for more than a century. Although English is now Saint Lucia’s official language, the French seem to have left a more noticeable influence on its arts and cuisine. Along the coast, a string of marinas exhibits a cultural blend through restaurants ranging from fried-fish shacks to upscale French eateries. Grab a table to sample meaty pepperpot stew, spinach-like callaloo soup, or the country’s national dish of green fig—a Caribbean term for small, unripe bananas—and salt fish.

With several beaches, Saint Lucia attracts those looking for snorkeling excursions, dolphin-watching tours, or deep-sea fishing trips in search of blue marlin, barracuda, and mako shark. Crowds descend on the popular Reduit Beach at Rodney Bay, not too far from the 18th-century British forts at Pigeon Island National Park. For a less hectic scene, head south down the coast to Anse Chastanet, a more secluded beach with giant palm trees and undulating green hills.

A vacation in Saint Lucia is not complete without a visit to one of its volcanoes. Considered the country’s unofficial symbol, the Pitons are two vegetation-covered volcanic plugs rising more than 2,000 feet above the western coast. Nearby Saint Lucia Volcano is considered “the world’s only drive-in volcano,” as you can drive your car close to the volcanic crater to see its steaming sulfur springs.

Miami’s South Beach: World-Famous Nightlife and Art-Deco Icons

Just east of downtown Miami, on the barrier island that forms Miami Beach, you’ll find one of the world’s nightlife capitals: South Beach. The clubs along Ocean Drive are legendary for their boisterous, all-night blowouts—and for good reason. With all the rum-soaked mojitos, colorful neon, and celebrity sightings, it can feel like an endless party. Perhaps that’s why the area pops up so often in film and TV shows, including Burn Notice and ­The Birdcage.

The coast of South Beach is known as Lummus Park, which Frommer’s calls Miami’s “best beach for people-watching.” While the bleached sand and curving palms are gorgeous, they’re almost overshadowed by the chiseled beach-goers dotting the sand. From here, a wood-slat boardwalk runs all the way up to North Beach, attracting joggers and roller bladers. Head across the bay, to South Pointe Park or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, for quieter, more secluded shores.

It’s easy enough to spend the entirety of a trip to South Beach face-down on a beach towel, but that would mean missing out on the city’s other offerings. The famous art-deco district, with its iconic, streamlined hotels in pastel shades, was the first 20th-century neighborhood to be recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Every morning at 10:30, local experts from the Miami Design Preservation League lead a 90-minute walking tour that highlights the neighborhood’s signature architecture.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

Troncones, Mexico: Sleepy Beach Town Secluded on the Mexican Riviera

Situated on the Mexican Riviera among travel hot spots such as Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, Troncones is a hidden gem: one of the few authentic beach towns left on the Pacific coast. With a population of less than 1,000 people, it almost feels undiscovered, and even with a recent influx of hotels the area still has the appeal of a relatively undeveloped fishing-and-farming village. Chickens and burros wander the dirt roads, and seafood restaurants line the 3-mile stretch of uncrowded beach with tables and hammocks.

Troncones’s laid-back atmosphere has attracted a surfing community, including visitors such as Stacy Peralta, director of the surfer cult classic Dogtown and Z-Boys. A lot of the action centers around Troncones Point, where the mellow breaks outnumber the surfers so they don’t have to fight over a wave. Sportfishing trips can be arranged here as well, or you can hit up a local eco-tour guide for kayaking in nearby estuaries or hiking the Sierra Madre.
