Photo: V8 Hotel Although many of these hotels can be rented by the hour, they’re a far cry from a sleazy roadside motel. In places like Japan or Brazil, where adults live with their parents until they’re married, it can be hard for couples to find a private place for romance — which is where…
While winter stateside fluctuates between absurdly high temperatures and drastically freezing ones, it can be hard to decide what kind of weekend (or weeklong!) getaway you really want. You can start planning your Caribbean vacation — and we won’t discourage you — as a surefire “thaw out” destination, but have you considered what other gems…
Photo: Kimberly Vardeman While you lounge poolside or on the sand with cocktail in hand, you may be dreading the (fast-approaching) days of cooler temperatures and decreasing sunlight hours. But there are so many wonderful things to love about fall; after all, it’s really winter — like the insufferably long months of January through March…
It’s National Cheese Day, the perfect excuse to eat a whole wheel of brie… Today is National Cheese Day, a time to celebrate with creamy fondues and plates of hard and soft varieties paired with cured meats — yum! While you can make your way to any local cheese shop to pick up your desired…

Indoor pools get a bad rap. Most of the time we envision them as dark and smelling of chlorine — a combination that almost guarantees claustrophobia. But with this seemingly never-ending winter weather, we were inspired to look indoors for a dip. Much to our surprise, we found 15 luxurious indoor hotel pools that have…
Whether you’re dying to see some playful monkeys or go horseback riding, you can pick a hotel that offers that and more — without even having to leave the property. Although it’s more expected in tropical locales like Costa Rica and the safari grounds of Africa, travelers may be surprised that they can also get…
With much of the United States in the throes of cold temperatures and icy snow, a weekend at a water park is just what the doctor ordered for families that have been cooped up since Christmas. We scoured the country for hotels that have on-site water parks that are fun for both little splashers and…
The Indoor Pool at the Polynesian Resort Hotel Screams at water parks are usually indicative of kids having a great time on waterslides, but at The Polynesian Resort Hotel in Wisconsin Dells, we’re guessing the screams are terror-induced. The indoor water park here (built in the 90s) was one of the first in the area,…
