Before embarking on a trip, most of us will do our best to brush up on information about the destination we’re heading to, even if it’s just the basic currency tidbits, language essentials, and unmissable tourist hot spots. But there’s a lot more to discover beyond that. Take the Caribbean, for example — the vast,…
Just when you thought the Caribbean and Mexico were already overflowing with all-inclusive resorts, several more all-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink, all-you-can-do properties decided to swing their doors open.

There’s a concrete-and-glass structure in Iceland’s foothills that travelers happily traverse snow and ice in a 4×4 to reach. South Beach has welcomed two new too-cool-for-school properties, and a sexy boutique hotel now sits on the top floors of a Tokyo skyscraper.

The holidays are great and all — but what makes them even greater is when we’re gifted a Caribbean getaway, especially since the short days of winter post-Christmastime can feel insufferably long (and cold).
