Wilderness at the Smokies
It would be a shame to visit the Great Smoky Mountains
region of Tennessee without ever venturing outside to admire the scenery, but
that’s almost what happened to us when my family booked a stay at the
Wilderness at the Smokies resort. With so much to see and do—not to mention a
fun, family-friendly atmosphere that rivals the hotels at Disney World or
Universal Studios—you might have a hard time luring your kids outside for a
hike or a nature walk. Don’t worry about them turning into couch potatoes, though,
because the resort’s activities will keep the kids on the move all day long.Crown Paradise Club Cancun
Cancun has plenty of romantic resorts for couples. Finding
one that’s good for families is a little tougher. And finding one that’s
perfect for both adults and kids—with plenty of activities for both, which can
be enjoyed together or separately—would be nearly impossible if not for Crown
Paradise Club Cancun.Free Things to Do in Las Vegas
Las
Vegas is fun, exciting, and one of the most popular tourist spots in the
USA—but it’s also a town that can empty your wallet faster than a skilled
dealer shuffles a new deck of cards. The lights may be dazzling, the rattle of
chips hypnotic, but all that sensory overload comes at a price. Fortunately,
though, Las Vegas does have a soft spot for its guests. Many of the hotels and
malls offer totally free shows and attractions, which can really come in handy
when the slot machines have just eaten your last quarter.Free Things to Do in New York
Start
spreading the news; New York may be one of the hottest tourist spots in the
United States, but it’s also one of the most expensive. For example, you can
search high and low but you’ll never see the words “affordable” and “hotel”
side-by-side there. A drink in a trendy bar can cost double or triple what you’re
used to paying. And a full evening’s entertainment—dinner for two, a Broadway
show, and any cab rides or extras—can easily set you back $300 or more. The
bottom line? When you visit the Big Apple, make sure to bring a big wallet.
The
good news, though, is that buried beneath all that glitter are dozens of free
entertainment opportunities. They may not be well-advertised but they do exist,
and taking advantage of one or two each day can give your tired, aching credit
cards a well-deserved rest.
America's Best Historic Hotels
Amazing architecture, a
unique setting, and close ties to famous figures from the past are only a few
reasons why so many people seek out historic hotels whenever they travel. Forget
the beige carpet and mass-produced art on the walls—these buildings have as much
personality and character as the guests who have filled their rooms for decades
or more.Go Treasure Hunting in Jamaica
They say Christopher Columbus
was lured to Jamaica in 1494 by rumors of gold, and that the famous explorer was
disappointed not to find any. Today’s visitors would argue that Columbus, dubbed
“Jamaica’s first tourist” by the locals, simply arrived 500 years too
early. A modern treasure map of Jamaica, with its wealth of natural attractions
and amazing new resorts, would be covered with Xs from coast to coast, with each
one marking something bright and shiny to discover.AVA Hotel & Suites
Sometimes location really is everything. But if you don’t have to
sacrifice quality or comfort to enjoy that perfect location, you might just feel
like you’ve landed in heaven—and in Athens, home of the ancient gods and
goddesses, that feeling couldn’t be more appropriate.Guests of the AVA Hotel & Suites couldn’t ask for a better spot to lay their heads each night. Situated on the edge of the trendy Plaka district, the AVA is within easy walking distance of many of the city’s best attractions.
