- Six-night stay in a two- or three-bedroom private villa at Adare Manor

Few spots in Europe feel as timeless as the Irish countryside. The craggy, untouched coastline and rolling meadows dotted with herds of sheep and the occasional crumbling castle seem to belong to a faraway past, as though the Industrial Revolution never managed to jump the Irish Sea. Great Value Vacations' luxury Ireland vacation package puts you in the heart of this storied landscape, within easy driving distance of the Emerald Isle's most iconic landmarks, including Blarney Castle, the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway Bay. The Ring of Kerry and the idyllic town of Killarney are also easily accessible by car. The vacation includes a six-night stay in a private, two- or three-bedroom villa at the elegant Adare Manor Villas as well as round-trip economy-class airfare to Dublin and a full-size car rental (with manual transmission) for the duration of your visit. Click here for more info on the trip and available upgrade options.
Set on a palatial 840-acre estate in the verdant Irish countryside, Adare Manor was built as a home for the second earl of Dunraven. The River Maigue flows past the grounds, which feature labyrinthine gardens and centuries-old forests. At the manor house, tangles of ivy cover stone walls punctuated by gothic columns and 365 cathedral-style windows. A scenic stroll from the manor house brings you to your private villa. Inside, you'll find a full kitchen and two or three spacious bedrooms outfitted with down comforters and elegant decor.
The estate's rolling hills make the perfect natural setting for the 18-hole golf course, which was designed by golf great Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Other outdoor pursuits on offer include archery, hot air balloon rides, and open-air speed readings of Finnegans Wake. After a day spent hiking or trout fishing on the Maigue, you can dine at one of the manor's restaurants, where chefs put a gourmet twist on local favorites such as fish 'n' chips and rack of lamb.

You’re set up to do any of these activities at Azul Fives Hotel, which sits right on Playa del Carmen’s beaches, It’s just a short drive from downtown's trendy nightclubs and restaurants, as well as the family-friendly Xcaret Eco Park, which features its own cenotes, butterfly pavilion, and orchid museum.
Your gourmet-inclusive stay at Azul Fives hotel includes unlimited meals at any of the many on-site restaurants. Each serves up gourmet cuisine with international influences. Mediterranean cuisine is the specialty at Sea Olive, where you can dine amid ocean views on the outdoor terrace.

Since the property is steps from the beach, you'll have easy access to snorkeling gear, paddleboats, and kayaks. There are also three pools, which feature swim-up bars that serve refreshing tropical cocktails.
After dark, crowds migrate from the beaches to dance to live music at the on-site club, Zky Bar. Meanwhile, the 15,000-square foot Vassa Spa is nestled in a fragrant mangrove forest. Stop in to indulge in natural treatments include green tea-infused facials, flower petal baths, and shiatsu-thai massages.
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 about 8 miles 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.

Private Island Resort with Cabanas
You won’t find any towering high-rises, chain restaurants, or crowded beaches on the tiny isle of Hatchet Caye, located 18 miles off the coast of Belize. That’s because the only development on the kidney-bean-shaped island is Hatchet Caye Resort. A limited number of guests are permitted to stay in the resort’s handful of cabanas at any one time, ensuring that you’ll have stretches of secluded shoreline to explore while you’re there. These breezy-and-modern duplex cabanas are equipped with wicker and wooden furniture and massive windows looking out on palm trees and the sea.
Thanks to its location along the Mesoamerican reef—the world’s second-longest reef—Hatchet Caye boasts world-class snorkeling and scuba-diving opportunities. It’s worth borrowing some gear to embark on a nighttime snorkeling adventure. The pier is well lit, attracting fish, rays, squid, and turtles. During the day, you can take a dip in the resort’s freshwater pool or play a game of volleyball on the grass court. You can also rent paddleboats, Hobie Cats, and kayaks for free.
The plan grants you access to the Lionfish Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in an open-air pavilion. Dig into island fare, including coconut shrimp, Caribbean spiny lobster, lionfish tacos, and empanadas. Bartenders serve juices, soft drinks, cocktails, beers, and wine (not included with this Groupon).
Hatchet Caye, Belize: World-Class Snorkeling amid Turtles, Stingrays, and Nurse Sharks
A 10-minute boat ride from Hatchet Caye Resort brings you to the Turtle Spot—so named because of the loggerhead turtles that frequently congregate here (stingrays and nurse sharks have been known to drop by, too). Historically, marine life flocked to this site to feed on leftovers from local fishermen who would clean their catches in the area. Today, many sea creatures still mosey over when they hear a boat. One snorkel tour per person is included with your stay.

Kai-Tak Accupressure Weight-Loss Earring
According to the practice of acupressure, stimulating various points along the helix of the ear elicits beneficial results through the rest of the body, relieving everything from depression to abdominal pain. One of the points—the center locus, known as Ji-Ke-Dian—is believed to be responsible for compulsive behaviors such as overeating or loving someone unconditionally. With this clip-on earring, a focused magnet continually hovers over the Ji-Ke-Dian, aiming to reduce feelings of hunger and prevent the wearer from craving unhealthy foods as long as it's attached.
- Aims to suppress appetite by stimulating the center of the ear helix
- Simple clip-on mechanism requires no piercings or rubber cement
- Instructions include diet advice to maximize results
