With spring right around the corner though, I have to say that I am super excited about the Andaz Wall Street.  This is actually one Hyatt hotel that I would love to stay at and it is actually in the financial district of New York.  Not only is this hotel one of the best in the world for New York, but look at the rooms.

Come on, that bed, the chair, the pillows, the desk?  It all screams New York and looks pretty darn chic!

The yacht club is in the Caribbean, on the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. The resort is truly one of a kind, offering the guests access to over one hundred sailboats, Hobie kayaks, windsurfers, and plenty of other types of watercraft.

You can only get to the resort by sea. The beautiful, pristine beach offers, among other things, a service marina which offers more than seventy moorings.

The Bitter End Yacht Club is ideal for families as well — the sailing school even has programs designed for children between the ages of five and ten.

It is the height of luxury. There are thirty luxury villas, which boast outdoor terraces, private pools, hammocks which are hand crocheted, as well as outdoor showers. You will get attentive service and all the spa treatments you could ever possibly want.

The spas offer plenty of treatments, many with holistic touches and herbal treatments, not to mention Temazcal baths, facials, and massages, as well as Yoga and Tai Chi.

These are rather adult activities, but they are not all Ikal del Mar has to offer. In addition, you can enjoy plenty of water sports, as well as fishing, horseback riding, parasailing, and lots of romantic walks.

Everything that you could imagine is at this particular hotel – skiing being the main thing and honestly, I think that taking a ski vacation is something that is so cool, you might love it even if you do not ski for real!  This 180 room hotel will also promise you a view of either the mountains or a valley, which rocks!

The dining room is remarkable and the food that is produced by the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch is absolutely breathtaking and tastes so good!

The great thing about this particular hotel?  Is that they truly know how to take care of their guests.  I mean, you are paying out the rear to stay there, but the people are actually really nice and anything that you could ever want for or need, they are willing to bend themselves over backwards in order to accommodate exactly what you need … anytime at all!

The Four Seasons is the best hotel in NYC and it is one hotel that is not only historical, but it is also one hotel that has been around for quite a while and is still as luxurious as you probably remember!

Central Park is one of the most beautiful places in the world to tour when you are in NY and if you are looking for other things to do – you can go on a sightseeing tour or even hit some of the awesome stores that have opened up in New York.  The restaurants are a-plenty in New York City and you can truly get the luxury accommodations that you are looking for in this beautiful and busy city.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about another summer trend in the way of vacations and that is Los Angeles, the city of angels!  Stay tuned folks!

AZUL Beach Hotel as well as AZUL Sensator are both located close to Puerto Morelos, which itself is in the Riviera Maya. AZUL Fives is located near gorgeous Playa del Carmen. No matter which of the three you choose, you can not only enjoy exploring the beautiful Mayan Riviera, you can also explore Mayan ruins, go scuba diving and snorkeling, have fun at eco theme parks, and much, much more!

All AZUL hotels tend to offer twenty four hour room service, butler service right on the beach, areas just for the adults — and do not worry about the kids, since these hotels have a partnership with Fisher Price, so there are plenty of fun things for the kids to do while the adults are having a good time!

Keep in mind, your humble writer is speaking from experience, having grown up about half an hour away from the town of White Sulphur Springs.

The Greenbrier is something of an anomaly, simply because due to preconceptions of West Virginia, no one would really expect to find such a luxurious destination there. However, in addition to being able to enjoy the resort’s world renowned golf course and its many activities, you are also smack dab in the middle of some of the most beautiful mountains you will ever hope to see. Winter or summer, spring or fall, a visit to the Greenbrier is definitely worth the trip.

The other notable features of this hotel is it is about a block from the very popular PETCO park, the outdoor decks all have fire pits and there is free wi-fi in all of the guest rooms.  Aveda is the label for all of the bath products in the rooms and while you will pay a pretty penny to stay at this hotel, it is definitely worth it!

So remember, want luxury?  The Hotel Indigo San Diego-Gaslamp Quarter is going to be the most luxurious hotel in the world for you!

Niagara Falls, while not a luxury vacation for some can be made into a luxury location.  To be perfectly honest, I think that seeing Niagara Falls up close and personal is something that everyone should go through no matter where they stay – however, this Hilton is definitely on the top ten list of places to stay in Niagara Falls.

So take your family on a luxury vacation to the Hilton hotel in Niagara Falls and I promise that you will love it and you will be right up close to those falls!
