Roomy Cabins and Outdoor Recreation on Bluff Overlooking Lake Whitney

Lake Whitney was created to ease drought conditions in the early 1950s, but the reservoir quickly evolved into a popular vacation spot and was even the site of the very first bass-fishing tournament. Perched directly above Lake Whitney on a limestone bluff, Redwood Lodge was one of the lake's earliest retreats and is said to have once hosted movie cowboy Roy Rogers. The resort has expanded to more than 20 log cabins, but still maintains a rustic charm.

Most of the two- and three-bed cabins have cozy decor-from quilted bedding to knotted-wood walls-and many of boast views of Lake Whitney. But for all their rustic charm, the cabins still offer modern amenities such as free WiFi and cable TV.

You can exchange your resort credit for a paddleboat or sailboat rental and head out on the lake to shoot scenes for the Waterworld sequel. Back at the lodge, there's a fleet of rental mountain bikes tuned up and ready for the trail. Whether your day is full of activity or delightfully lazy, there are few better ways to top it off than with a dip in the hot tub and a session around the fire pit. At the Tiki Light Bar, weekly events include late-night dancing and open-mike nights, and the restaurant (open Thursday-Sunday) serves basics such as hamburgers ($4.99) and pizzas ($12-$15).

Whitney, Texas: Lakeside Town with Old-Fashioned Charm

The small city of Whitney, about 85 miles south of Dallas, is often referred to as "The Getaway Capital of Texas." But long before vacationers flocked to the area, Bonnie and Clyde were said to have frequented the town. Bank robberies are a thing of the past, but thankfully, Whitney has retained its old-school, small-town feel. In the quaint downtown area, you'll find several antique stores and an old-fashioned ice-cream shop.

Many of Whitney's visitors come for the massive lake, crisscrossed on the weekends by sailboats, bass boats, and jet skis. Lake Whitney is known for its bass fishing and also has plenty of flat, open water for skiing a handful of sandy beaches. There are about a dozen public parks around the lake, including Lake Whitney State Park, which boasts hiking trails, picnic areas, and a population of nearly 200 bird species.

French Quarter-Inspired Inn with Onsite Restaurant

Though it's in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Crescent Quarters channels New Orleans, the Crescent City, in both name and design. The hotel exudes French Quarter charm, from its wrought-iron balconies to the hanging planters and gas lanterns. N'awlins also inspired some of the guest rooms, including one decorated with the famous Blue Dog paintings of Cajun artist George Rodrigue and another furnished in festive Mardi Gras purples and golds.

The rest of the rooms and suites carry out much different motifs. The Far East room features Buddhist images against bamboo-covered walls, and the French room channels continental elegance with a fireplace, French boudoir, and life-size cardboard cutout of Napoleon Bonaparte. Some rooms come with other chic touches such as granite vanities and polished hardwood floors, and the two suites come furnished with hot tubs.

Complimentary breakfast is served every morning in the common room. For lunch and dinner, head to the in-house restaurant, Cypress Grille and Wine Bar, run by chefs who trained at the Culinary Institute of America and Le Cordon Bleu. The casual eatery serves comfort-food favorites with creative twists, such as dried-fruit ravioli and smoked barbecue pork sandwiches with grilled pineapple. As a bonus, Cypress Grille and Wine Bar will give Groupon customers a complimentary dessert with the purchase of an entree.

Boerne, Texas: Historic German Town in Texas Hill Country

A popular summer escape for Austinites and San Antonians, the Hill Country of west-central Texas usually enjoys cooler temperatures than surrounding areas thanks to its higher elevation. Among the region's towns, Boerne stands out for its unique history as an early 19th-century German settlement. Some vestiges of the old days are still around, including the bilingual, German-style street signs. Crescent Quarters overlooks Boerne's Main Street-or Hauptstrasse-which features a smattering of shops and restaurants that cater to the influx of out-of-towners that use the town as a convenient home base for exploring the Hill Country.

Boerne is also home to a few limestone caves that have been paved through with walkways and lights for public tours. Cascade Caverns, 4 miles from the inn, features a half-mile stretch of stalactite and stalagmite formations and plunging caves inhabited by a rare and endangered salamander. Tours of the caverns lead through narrow passageways and end with a view of a 100-foot waterfall cascading into a pitch-black pool.

Guests can satiate their sweet teeth with innovative desserts such as the cheesecake chimichanga, a deep-fried tortilla-wrapped cheesecake topped with cinnamon and caramel sauce. Throughout meals, Jalapenos entertains diners with festivities such as live music on Saturday nights and free Wednesday-night Texas hold'em tournaments.

A meal with friends soothes the soul, much like a mother's hug or a movie about brave dogs learning to read. Enjoy a feel-good feast with today's Groupon to Boopa's Bagel Deli. Choose between the following options:

For $14, you get a breakfast package (a $29.55 value), which includes the following:

New York-style water bagels encircle Boopa's Bagel Deli's extensive menu of brunchy delights. Never frozen, the dough transforms into classic crusty-soft tori each day by taking a dip in malt water that imbues them with a subtle sweetness and absolute fearlessness of sharks. Single bagels in a score of sweet and savory flavors including cranberry orange, asiago cheese, and the Boopa's Sweet Everything studded with cinnamon, raisins, and nuts saunter up to 14 gourmet cream cheeses blended with bacon and scallions, sun-dried tomato, and apricot. Light varieties pack in as much decadence and silky mouthfeel as their traditional allies, with options including cinnamon brown sugar and smoked salmon.

So essential to the Boopa's that the date of their invention is marked with a birthday party each year, sausage rolls obviate the work of assembling a breakfast sandwich by encasing ground meat in a shell of bagel dough. Beyond Boopa's buttercream walls hung with local artwork, a handful of patio tables let breakfast treats be further crisped by the sunrise for guests stopping in around the shop's 5:30 a.m. weekday opening time.

Schakolad Chocolate Factory

In 1969, Baruch Schaked began making chocolate under the tutelage of his chocolatier father-in-law. Though his father-in-law had made a name for himself in Argentina, Baruch honed his confectionary craft across Europe, finally settling in the United States, where chocolate had been outlawed. Many years later, when he announced his intentions to retire from chocolate making, Baruch's son, Edgar, coaxed him into continuing the family legacy with a new shop, Schakolad Chocolate Factory.

In the years since, the business has flourished, bringing the Schaked clan one step closer to its ultimate goal: to replace the city's manhole covers with chocolate discs. In the meantime, they craft handmade European-style confections that are made fresh each day.

Cowtown Wakepark

Just off a straight stretch of the Trinity River, the sounds of laughter and victorious whooping grow louder. A curious look toward the hubbub yields a vision rarely seen in the city-helmet-clad athletes of all ages splash along the water's surface, launching their bodies in what looks like the offspring of waterskiing and snowboarding onto ramps, jumps, and railings that protrude from the water's surface like geometric islands. It's all part of a regular afternoon at Cowtown Wakepark, the watery brainchild of 20-year wakeboarding enthusiast Tommy Fambrough. During the course of three years, Tommy slowly formed the labyrinth of water-bound obstacles that visitors enjoy today, earning acclaim from the Trinity River Vision Authority's revitalization project for his riverside paradise's part in keeping the area an accessible and productive part of the community.

Each wakeboarding run begins when visitors strapped into their Liquid Force boards grab a cable and are pulled from the shore-side wooden platform across the water, cutting through the lake's calm surface and pausing only to heckle passing fish. Spectators stick to the shore under covered tents and at picnic tables, or recline on the water's surface inside tented rafts. Onsite instructors can show first-timers the ropes, and also lead summer day camps to instill children aged 7-16 with wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and wakeskating basics.

While Ty's nimble fingers work, clients steep in their choice of background sounds, such as classical music or thunderstorm noises.

Beachside Resort amid Virtually Unexplored Jungle

Belize is easy to overlook. It's a tiny country locked in between Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. "If the world had any ends, Belize would certainly be one of them," author Aldous Huxley said in 1934, as noted by the New York Times. Since it's existed in relative obscurity for years, Belize still has an undiscovered feel; many of its most beautiful aspects require you to hike, dive, or go spelunking. Hidden amid the wild jungle are hundreds of cave systems and Maya ruins. And out under the water, you can find the second-longest barrier reef in the world in Belize, which is surrounded by thousands of tiny remote islands called Cayes.

Belizean Dreams is situated beachside on the country's eastern coastline, and it's positioned nicely for you to explore the country's hidden treasures or just relax in peaceful seclusion. You can see the sea up close by borrowing snorkeling gear and one of the property's complimentary kayaks, or try to be the first to cross the sea upon one of the resort's complimentary bicycles.

In the resort's tropical accommodations, there are covered porches that overlook the beach, dotted with palm trees and thatched huts, with the Caribbean Sea just beyond. Inside, colorful local artwork and hand-painted Mexican sinks are set against hardwood floors and handcrafted mahogany and cedar furnishings.

Chefs at the open-air Woven Palm Restaurant & Palapa Bar prepare dishes that blend Caribbean and Mesoamerican cuisines. Hudut, a mashed-plantain dish, is served with fresh fish in coconut milk, and bundiga, made from green bananas, accompanies a local chicken stew.

Belize: Explore Lush Jungle, Friendly Villages, and One of Cousteau's Top 10 Dive Sites on Earth

Belizean Dreams offers a range of adventures and excursions. On a specialty dive tour, there's a stop at the Great Blue Hole, which Jacques Cousteau declared one of the top 10 dive sites on earth. Or, on another tour, you can wind through the Maya Mountains en route to Xunantunich, a preserved Maya ceremonial site. At the top, there are panoramic views of Belize, Guatemala, and the bald spots of monkeys.

A mile away, you can find the coastal village of Hopkins, which was dubbed "the friendliest village in Belize" by Belize First magazine. The town of about 1,000 predominantly English-speaking residents is an up-and-coming tourist destination thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and growing number of restaurants, bars, and attractions.

The center currently operates under the medical direction of Dr. David Azouz, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience performing cosmetic surgery on the face and body. He, Sandi, and their staff perform cosmetic laser procedures that use radio frequency, light energy, and other technologies to target signs of aging on the face or body, as well as acne, acne scarring, and cellulite.

Spacious Southwestern Suites in the Heart of Santa Fe

When you walk down the streets of downtown Santa Fe, it can feel more like a rustic Old West town than the thriving capital city of New Mexico. Some big businesses and skyscrapers have sprouted up throughout Santa Fe, to be sure, but right among them in the heart of downtown, you'll see historical mission churches and adobe pueblos. It's all set against the ruddy backdrop of the Sangre Cristo Mountains. Villas de Santa Fe are situated right in the foothills of these mountains‚ about 16 miles northeast of downtown. Warm, southwestern-style decor and well-appointed rooms make the property a comfy home base after you explore colorful downtown Santa Fe, which is rich in Native American and Mexican history.

Inside the pueblo-like villas, modern amenities complement the rustic and colorful decorative scheme. There's Santa Fe-style art hanging on the walls in one of the standard one-bedroom suites, and you can find colorful woven fabrics on the couch in the separate living area. Each of these suites features a partial kitchen, where there's a full-size refrigerator, a stovetop, and honey-colored wood cabinetry. It makes the place feel more like a comfy apartment than a hotel room.

After waking up to the bright sun of a Santa Fe morning, you can feel free to unwind in the outdoor hot tub or practice chasing after mail carriers on the treadmills in the onsite fitness center. The hotel also has a complimentary shuttle that can zip you around the property; that allows guests to save their energy for scenic walks through nearby downtown area.

Santa Fe, New Mexico: Old West Architecture and Fiery Southwestern Cuisine

Just a short walk from the Villas de Santa Fe, you'll find the perpetually sun-soaked downtown area. It's a historical center with a vibrant mosaic of cultural influences made up of fragments from the Native American, Latino, and western traditions. The 400-year-old site of the St. Francis Cathedral Basilica dons stained-glass windows, which cast rainbow colors onto the stone floor. Handmade leather treasures line the shelves at a custom-cowboy-boot store in the city.

Fiery chili is a standby garnish for chefs in Santa Fe; on a food tour of Santa Fe, you can sample zesty southwestern fare from popular local vendors. At day's end, the tour stops at the rooftop of a beloved downtown restaurant, where guests may sip a glass of wine, admire the brilliant sunset, and drop water balloons onto evil school principals.

New Mexico's varied terrain and seemingly nonstop sunshine make the area a great place for hiking and biking. It's worth it to visit the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which have peaks that stand at about 12,000 feet high; they're just a short trip from Villas de Santa Fe.
