Lavish Hotel with Rooftop Restaurant Overlooking Niagara Falls

Every day, about 200 billion liters of water surge over the brink of Canada's Horseshoe Falls, the largest of Niagara's three waterfalls. However impressive, statistics fail to capture the full power of the falls. At ground level, there's a thunderous roar, and a massive cloud of mist rises high above the brink. But from a higher vantage point at the Hilton Hotel and Suites Niagara Falls/Fallsview, you can see the entire waterfall crashing in silent fury.

Each of the hotel's guest rooms feature expansive views of the city or the crashing waterfalls, but the view from the 33rd-floor Watermark Restaurant is arguably the best in town. Between bites of prime rib or roast rack of lamb, you can gaze down on Horseshoe Falls and fathom the province's astronomical water bill.

A glass walkway connects the hotel to the Fallsview Casino, where you can try your luck at 150 gaming tables and 3,000 slot machines. The casino's Avalon Ballroom has played host to major acts including Ringo Starr, Jay Leno, and Diana Ross; check out upcoming performers here. For a more mellow experience, take a half-hour drive north to Peller Estates, where you can tour the family-owned vineyards, sample Canadian wine, and tie grape stems with your tongue.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Legendary Waterfalls and Family Attractions

Niagara Falls, Ontario, rests on the province's southeastern tip with the Niagara River and the Canadian Falls creating a natural boundary between Canada and the United States. For an up-close view, visit Journey Behind the Falls, where elevators descend 150 feet into the bedrock. From there, you can stand on a ledge carved out of the rock and view the falls from a stunning prospective-directly behind the falls.

Apart from the natural attractions, Niagara Falls offers plenty of entertainment in the way of casinos, water parks, and amusement parks. Less than five minutes from the hotel, the glitzy promenade Clifton Hill boasts a wide an array of popular attractions including an indoor water park, a celebrity wax museum, and a Ferris wheel overlooking Niagara Falls.

All-Inclusive Beachfront Resort in Caribbean

Every week, Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites throws a beachside welcome party to help new arrivals kick off their vacations with live entertainment, dancing, and a fireworks finale. This fiesta supplies a taste of what lies in store during a stay at the all-inclusive Caribbean resort, which sprawls across a tropical hillside like a mini metropolis. There's something for everyone-a playground and art club for children as well as discos, nightclubs, and bars for grownups. Eleven pools and two spas cater to laid-back vacationers, and onsite snorkeling and other watersports engage active guests.

One-bedroom suites are like a home away from home, complete with fully equipped kitchenettes and separate dining areas. Each suite includes a large balcony or terrace, some of which face the surrounding mountains. Suites are decorated with Caribbean-inspired decor, complemented by rattan, natural-wicker, and bamboo furniture.

A lot of the action at Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites centers on the two beaches it has direct access to. But the resort offers a broad range of activities inland as well. These include golf and yoga during the day and theater shows at night. Take advantage of the free shuttle service and convenient jetpack rentals to easily tour the facilities.

Dominican Republic's North Coast: Golden-Sand Beaches and Mountainside Cities

The beach known as Playa Cofresi-named after Roberto Cofresi, a pirate dubbed "the Robin Hood of the Caribbean" for how he dispensed with his stolen treasure-runs along the Lifestyle resort's outer edge. The golden, 3-mile (5 km) stretch of sand reaches to the Ocean World marina, a habitat for dolphins, sea lions, and other marine life.

From the beach, it's only a 10-minute drive to Puerto Plata, the largest city on the Dominican Republic's North Coast. The mountainside city is known for its pastel-colored Victorian buildings with gingerbread fretwork-architecture that lends the town an Old-World charm. You'll also find some prominent cultural attractions, including the colonial-era Fort of San Felipe that was once used to ward off pirates. A couple of cannons still sit atop the thick walls of the fortress, and cannonballs, bayonets, and other 16th-century artifacts are displayed in the museum inside.

Modern B&B in the Heart of Ohio Amish Country

Holmes County, Ohio, is home to the world's largest Amish community, a culture that eschews modern technology in search of a simpler lifestyle. Consequently, the region feels even more separate from city life than other rural areas, a trait that makes it especially attractive to some. The Inn at Honey Run embraces this ethos while still offering an onsite spa, an upscale restaurant, and other comforts you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel.

The Inn at Honey Run's aesthetic is a far cry from the earthy farmhouses just a few miles away. Bucolic yet refined decor covers both the lobby and the guest rooms with wreaths of sinewy dried vines and local artwork made of wrought iron and polished wood. Several Select rooms occupy upper floors, where treetops are visible through reading nooks' skylights. Alternatively, Honeycomb rooms are built into a hillside and come with a secluded outdoor patio.

Every morning, guests gather at Tarragon, the Inn's upscale yet casual restaurant, for a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, and house-made muffins and pastries. For lunch and dinner, Executive Chef Scott Fetty draws on his training and uses seasonal, local ingredients to craft upscale American cuisine.

At the onsite Spa at Honey Run, sip on flowering tea before a massage, facial treatment, or body treatment that uses 100% organic oils and scrubs. The hiking trails that crisscross the property are another source of relaxation, passing through meadows and forests and along burbling brooks. For an additional fee of $125, the inn will arrange an authentic Amish-country buggy ride around the surrounding hills.

Holmes County, OH: Bucolic Farmland Rich in Amish Tradition

Located about 80 miles south of Cleveland, Holmes County's rolling countryside is rife with farms and stores, as well as a few tourist attractions. See the Amish lifestyle up close at The Farm at Walnut Creek, which also houses exotic creatures such as giraffes, camels, and kangaroos alongside regional animals like cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The Holmes County Trail follows 29 miles of former railroad lines, from nearby Killbuck to Fredericksburg, with 15 paved miles accommodating Amish buggies and bicycles.

Historical Inn with Glass-Enclosed Porch Overlooking Lake

In the 19th century, some of the Northeast's industrial pioneers- including Silas March, an entrepreneur and New York state assemblyman-spent their idle days in a clapboard estate built along the shores of Mariaville. In 2003, husband-and-wife innkeepers Rick and Lorrie Runnels purchased this historical home and dubbed it the Mariaville Lake Bed and Breakfast. Since then, they've made extensive renovations while managing to preserve the building's casual, Federal-style elegance; it still has its original moldings, wood-burning fireplaces, and hardwood floors in some of the guest rooms.

The building is tucked into a woodsy area along the private, 200-acre Mariaville Lake, and it's a prime spot to get in some fishing and swimming. The B&B also owns two kayaks, one canoe, and one rowboat, which are all available for guests. Or feel free to take a stroll through the wealth of hiking trails that crisscross the property; one in particular leads to a beaver dam. In summer and fall, you can tell ghost stories and dry your laundry over a crackling bonfire in the evening.

The inn's five guest rooms are individually decorated, but all look out to Mariaville Lake. You have to use an old-fashioned skeleton key to get into the Vineyard and Lakeview rooms, as they are located in the original part of the house.

Come morning, the innkeepers serve a breakfast by candlelight in the formal dining room or on the glass-enclosed porch. The chefs prepare a different hot entree each morning, such as banana-stuffed french toast, veggie frittatas, or puffed apple pancakes. You can typically find house-made pastries, fresh juices, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, and tea.

Mariaville, New York: Small Town on the Shores of Mariaville Lake

Mariaville is part of the 18th century town of Duanesburg, located about 30 miles west of Albany. Thanks to its location along the 200-acre Mariaville Lake, the town became a resort community in the 1920s. Not a whole lot has changed since then; there's still only one traffic light in the city to date, and every high-school class is taught by the mayor.

The town of Schenectady offers a dose of culture fewer than 15 miles east. Aside from shopping and restaurants, you can find the historical Proctors Theater, which opened as a vaudeville venue in the early 20th century but sank into disrepair by the late 1970s. A group of concerned citizens rallied to restore the theater, which now hosts regular performances of ballets, musicals, comedians, and concerts.

Rose Brook Golf Course's rates fluctuate throughout the day and week.

Rose Brook Golf Course

The story of Rose Brook Golf Course dates back to the late 1960s, when-according to course lore-a retired iron worker who had found success by inventing the popcorn machine set out to turn his lifelong dream of owning a golf course into a reality. In the process of achieving his goal, a course maintenance mishap culminated with the man driving a bulldozer over a 100-foot gorge. The man survived the plunge, the story goes, and drove the heavy machine 2 miles out of the creek before returning to sculpt the rugged earth and relentlessly remind the dozer that it owes him its life. Styling itself as "the working man's country club" ever since, the course has retained the vision of its founder, as friendly, laid-back vibes resonate across 18 holes of rolling terrain in a diverse, 5,806-yard layout, providing guests a pressure-free respite from their vocations. During each round, players contend with 12 ponds as well as frequent encounters with the aforementioned gorge, which runs across multiple holes and sends shudders down the cybernetic spines of passing golf carts.

During morning sessions, which run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Erin Cox channels her tenure of more than 10 years at the farm and an ongoing collegiate education in equestrianism into bonding riders with steeds without using superglue.

Both teachers sprinkle crafts and games between trotting sessions, and orchestrate horse shows at week's end.

Parents can drop off kids for either a half-day or an all-day camp that runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees of the full-day camp should bring lunch, and all campers should tote along snacks, drinks, long pants, and boots.
