Travel + Leisure says... "Italianate lakeside resort set on 3,000 acres at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, with loads of outdoor activities and a laid-back, family-friendly vibe. Rooms to Book: For the newest rooms, book one of those in the Cape Cod-style Broadmoor Cottages (available starting in May). Insider Tip: Play a round of golf on the East Course, which is set to host the U.S. Women’s Open in 2011. An endless string of five-star ratings and a parade of celebrity guests decorate this 1918 Rocky Mountain resort. Reserve an expansive suite, ideally one with a half-canopy bed, a marble bath, and a balcony overlooking the lake and distant Rocky Mountains. The Broadmoor’s spa ranks among the finest in North America, as do its tennis facilities and dining." And Travel + Leisure says... "Three golf courses (with lessons for juniors), a top-notch spa (with treatments for kids and teens), a movie theater, a tennis club, an infinity pool with waterslides, and an endless roster of outdoor activities: the only question at the Broadmoor is whether you’ll have time to do it all. New in 2009: one- and eight-bedroom cottages with beamed ceilings, wood floors, stone fireplaces, and verandas—perfect for larger groups. Guest Tip: When grandmother Florrie Katchen (who’s been going to the resort for some 60 years) plans her family’s annual trip, she reserves a pool cabana for their entire five-night stay. “Now that our children are grown and there are grandchildren involved, it’s our gathering spot all day long,” she says. “Plus, it’s right next to the kids’ wading pool, and we have our own server from the pool café.”—Alison Goran

One Ritz-Carlton Drive Montego Bay, Jamaica

From $349 per night

Set along a dazzling 1,500 foot stretch of beach on Jamaica's north coast, The Ritz-Carlton, Rose Hall is a 427-room resort that combines old world appeal with an inviting sense of Caribbean charm and offers the seclusion of a beachfront hideaway.

What's Great
Travel + Leisure says... "Palatial and über-opulent, this resort occupies 5,000 acres of rolling, meticulously landscaped grounds—once part of the island’s historic Rose Hall sugar plantation. A favorite with golfers for its White Witch championship course, the property also attracts the standard four-star crowd that likes its comforts within easy strolling distance. With five restaurants ranging from beach casual (jerk fish and beer at the Reggae Jerk Center) to jacket-preferred (fine Asian fusion at Jasmine), a sumptuous spa, jogging trails, tennis, and shuttles to the luxurious Shoppes at Rose Hall, there’s little reason to leave the premises. The 427 rooms and suites—tricked out with plush fabrics, Frette linens, gleaming wood antique repros, and large soaking tubs—don’t exactly encourage wandering, either. Tip: For a full-body wake-up call, book a Jamaican coffee body scrub at the spa. Room to Book: Although all standard rooms have balconies, Ocean Front rooms catch the lovely sea breezes (along with the best views)." -From www.travelandleisure.com
