In today’s hectic world it takes more than just a week on the beach to relax and recharge. Luckily, this week’s Video Travel Deals will have you setting up your away message and turning off your cell in no time. With three deals at some of our favorite spa resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico, you’ll be hard pressed to think of a reason not to go.

For the ultimate in rejuvenation, we invite you to check in to El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa in Puerto Rico. A member of the Waldorf Collection of fine hotels, the expansive “El Con” boasts incredible facilities for the entire family to enjoy, including championship golf, a casino, tennis, kids club and a private beach island.  You can rest assured everyone is well-entertained while you indulge in body wraps and massages at the Golden Door Spa. Pure Perfection.

If you hurry, you can snag a last minute deal to beautiful Bermuda, which includes a 4th Night Free at the Fairmont Southampton, home to the luxurious Willow Stream Spa.  Looking for a little adult time? Book four days at the adults-only all-inclusive El Dorado Royale in the Riviera Maya region of Mexico for only $689 per person and enjoy a number of relaxing treaments at the on site spa. For a nature-inspired retreat complete with the breathtaking views and stellar amenities, head to Anse Chastanet in picturesque St. Lucia and get the 6th night free. (You just may recognize it from this season’s The Bachelor on ABC.)

So go ahead. You’ve worked hard, you deserve it.

In the recent winter weeks, the editorial team has been busy researching and writing our Mexico hotel content. With most of our days spent poring over hotel websites, studying the white sandy beaches, palm trees, and blue waters, it was time to treat ourselves to our own Riviera Maya Mexican vacation.

While our friends in New York experienced yet another blizzard, Erika and I headed down to Grand Velas All Suites Resort and Spa, ten minutes north of Playa del Carmen. In just three hours, we had traded our bulky coats and winter boots for bikinis and flip-flops. Every time I fly to the Cancun area, I think to myself, “This is so easy, why don’t I do this more often?”

When we landed, there was a shuttle waiting to take us to the resort, which was less than an hour from the airport. For those of you who have never been (especially if you are planning your own jaunt and are deciding on a resort) it’s worth noting that all the Riviera Maya hotels line the main road, which follows the coastline to Tulum. These resorts are set far back from the road on acres and acres of mangroves, so you really don’t have a sense of either the neighboring properties or the road’s traffic. This held true at Grand Velas.

Once we turned into the gates, it was nearly five minutes of driving through the lush greenery before we pulled up in front of the Grand Class section of the resort. To say this resort is massive is an understatement. Three separate accommodations  (complete with separate pools and restaurants) comprise Grand Velas’ 205 acres. Erika and I stayed at Grand Class, the adults-only area, and arguably the most luxurious, but it was a quick and easy walk along the beachfront to Ambassador, the section geared to families that had our favorite breakfast spot (the selection of fresh squeezed juices was to die for!). It was also just a three-minute ride on one of the shuttle buses to Master Section, also called Zen Ambience, which houses the hotel’s enormous convention center. Although I like to have the beachfront and center at all times, this area’s jungle setting is a great alternative for families who want to experience the Yucatan’s cenotes and natural beauty. Plus, it makes it easier on business travelers when they aren’t continuously taunted by the lapping surf. The pièce de résistance at Master Section is the spa, but in my opinion, it really deserves its own dedicated post, so make sure to check back for more soon.

Travelers are always asking “When is the best time to go?”  How ’bout now?  Lucky for you, this week we’ve identified some great Caribbean deals for the spring that offer great value-for-the-money.

The Rose Hall Resort & Spa, a Hilton Resort outside of Montego Bay, has a great price of $364 per person for a 4-night stay including tax, service, airport transfers and the Gold all-inclusive plan. This 5-star beachfront resort is set amidst the Rose Hall Plantation, and even boasts its own on-site water park complete with a lazy river, water slide and waterfalls—perfect to keep the kids occupied while adults enjoy a round of golf at one of the many championship courses nearby.

Also, for the golf or spa enthusiasts, we heartily recommend the Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa in Bermuda, a 5-star property on the west coast of Bermuda that offers gracious Bermudian hospitality, daily breakfast, and a 4th night free for travel in March. With a flight time of just 2 hours from the East Coast, Cambridge Beaches is a great option for a long weekend getaway to recharge, relax, or spend some cozy time with your Kindle over afternoon tea.

Gentlemen, start your engines. Or whatever the sailing equivalent of preparing for a major race is (Hoist the sails? Batten down the hatches?). According to Cruising World, the Notice of Race for the Newport Bermuda Race 2010 has officially been posted, which essentially means all you sailors hoping to enter the “thrash to the Onion Patch” have until March 30 to enter the historic international ocean race.

The Newport Bermuda Race was founded in 1906 as the first ocean race for amateur sailors, and has since become one of the world’s premier sailing events—a 635-mile open-ocean contest, most of it out of sight of land. Every two years in mid-June a fleet of nearly 200 boats in five classes set sail from Newport, Rhode Island, to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club in Hamilton, Bermuda, and luckily for us islanders, this is the year. The race kicks off on June 18 and normally takes five to six days to complete. Which means right around the weekend of June 25, there should be a big ‘ol party here in Bermuda.

If you’re thinking of snagging a spot for this event, head to Voyage.tv to book your trip to Bermuda today!

Since we are never done bringing you new and exciting segments, now we’re taking you back to Turks and Caicos.

In Fruits de la Mer, you’ll get an exclusive look at O’Soleil Restaurant at The Somerset on Grace Bay. Go inside this urban-style restaurant right in the heart of Providenciales, with its modern white-on-white décor, soaring ceilings and low-lit chandeliers providing an intimate and romantic ambience. Here you’ll meet executive chef Lauren Callighen, who tells us about her Canadian roots and simplistic, yet innovative style of Mediterranean-Caribbean cooking.

Follow Callighen into the kitchen where she whips up some of her favorite specialties in an O’Soleil Trio, including a pistachio-crusted seared sea scallop, a spin on the classic Caesar salad with plantain croutons, roasted pumpkin soup with tamarind and braised oxtail ravioli. Next up she prepares a filet of red snapper straight from the waters of South Caicos, paired with coconut milk and mango risotto.

This week we’d like to introduce you to our Las Vegas Resident Editor Michael Martin.

Michael is a travel and lifestyle journalist covering everything from the newest hotel hot spot on the Las Vegas Strip to the latest LA eatery to shutter on the West Coast.

“I’ve always loved to travel, even as an awkward 11-year-old when I would scour the AAA Hotel Book looking for coupons to use with my grandma for a getaway to Carmel,” Martin says.

Before joining Voyage.tv, Michael was a nightlife and entertainment columnist for AOL followed by broadcast work on ITV and BBC, “on shows far enough away from America to never be seen by friends or family,” he says. His work has appeared in Blackbook, InStyle, ELLE, RED Magazine, NPR, and Angeleno. He’s currently a featured contributor at JetSetReport.com, where he writes a syndicated column that leads readers from one global hot spot to the next.

“I’d like to be able to fly without a plane,” he says when asked about his future travel ambitions. ” I think one day we’ll look back and think of how archaic it was to fly in a steel-tube surrounded by kerosene while eating warm nuts.”
