Grand Bahia Principe

Without ever leaving the property at Grand Bahia Principe, you can can sing karaoke, shop for local handicrafts, and dance all night to Jamaican ska, a genre of music that blends Calypso and American jazz,. And that’s just in the resort’s entertainment village, known as Pueblo Principe. You can also use the internet here or rent a car to see more of the island.

The resort sits in northern Jamaica on a stretch of white sand just outside Runaway Bay. The beach is the focal point of the experience here, and it’s often less crowded than those other resort towns. Runaway Bay is known for its colorful coral reefs—borrow some snorkeling gear and you can explore the shallow waters of the bay. You can also pull up a lounge chair by one of three lagoon-style pools, which are surrounded by sun terraces and lush, tropical gardens. The pool area boasts both poolside and swim-up bars, and the rest of the resort’s bars are within an easy stroll.

You can get sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea from the buffet-style restaurants onsite. Both serve international dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests can also dine at the resort’s a la carte restaurants up to three times per stay; choose from Japanese, steakhouse, and seafood specialties.

Runaway Bay, Jamaica: Quiet Resort Town near Natural Wonders

Runaway Bay is tucked into the northern coast of Jamaica, between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. The secluded town is one of the island's smallest—Lonely Planet calls it "a one-street village”—and it's noticeably quieter than its tourist-clogged neighbors. But what it lacks in size Runaway Bay makes up in natural attractions. Some of the best underwater sights in the Caribbean can be explored during scuba-diving tours of the coral reef just offshore. And about 4 miles (7 km) west of town, you can explore the limestone vaults and subterranean lakes of the Green Grotto Caves, which were used as a hideout by Spanish die-hards during Jamaica's 18th-century colonization by the English.

A scenic 25-minute drive brings you to one of the island's most popular attractions—Dunn's River Falls. This natural wonder consists of a series of terraced waterfalls cascading from the mountains to the sea like a gigantic flight of stairs. Thousands of travelers visit the site each year, and it even served as a filming location for the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. Today, tour groups frolic at the bottom of the falls or make the 600-foot climb to the top behind local guides.

Family-Friendly Indoor-Waterpark Resort

The Hurricane Vortex whirlpool ride at KeyLime Cove Waterpark Resort looks like a giant pinwheel painted with gold and orange stripes. Once the ride begins, those stripes blur into red as a torrent of water whips you around before safely dropping you in the Lazy River. The ride is one of eight major aquatic attractions at KeyLime Cove’s sprawling 65,000-square-foot indoor waterpark, which is located in Gurnee, Illinois, about an hour north of downtown Chicago.

Kids of all ages will find something to do here. The indoor facility—which is kept at a balmy 84 degrees—houses two 500-foot water slides, a wave pool, and the interactive Toukie’s Big Deluge aquatic playground for kids. KeyLime Cove is a conveniently cashless resort. Upon check-in, you’ll receive a high-tech wristband that also functions as your room key, waterpark ticket, and credit card for anything and everything at the resort.

While the kids play games in the RipTide Reef Arcade, adults can unwind in the Paradise Mist Spa. Families can meet up for dinner at any of the resort’s six eateries, including The Crazy Toucan and D.W. Anderson's, an old-fashioned soda fountain with 1950s decor. Upstairs, the resort’s guest rooms feature flat-screen televisions and complimentary WiFi.

Gurnee, Illinois: Near Chicago’s North Shore

Located about halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee, the village of Gurnee is home to Gurnee Mills, one of the largest malls in Illinois. Here you’ll find hundreds of stores and restaurants. The town lies just west of Chicago’s North Shore, a group of affluent suburbs along Lake Michigan. There are several sites to explore in these nearby cities. Picturesque Evanston, where Northwestern University is based, was named one of the Coolest Suburbs Worth a Visit by Travel + Leisure. The Chicago Botanic Garden, where more than 9,000 types of plants are tended to all year round, is in nearby Glencoe.
