Enjoy a Kid-Free Summer Vacationby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 11 Jul 2008 06:15 PM If you are looking for a place to tan that's void of two year olds throwing tantrums over who gets to play with the sand toys first then prepare yourself. Summertime is primetime for family travel, which means you'll likely be sharing space with teen cannonballs and overtired tots at resorts, beaches and other lodgings across the country. Still, there's no need to get discouraged. There are ways for peace seeking travelers to find what they are looking for. Adult-only properties abound in this country and abroad and right now Expedia.com is offering fabulous deals on travel packages to Mexican destinations that have "No Kids Allowed" policies. Take a look: UNDER $600 What could be more relaxing than sipping an ice-cold cocktail on a powder soft sand beach in Los Cabos, Mexico? You can do so for a steal at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat and Spa. For just $584 you'll get four nights' accommodation at the 154-room resort plus roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles. The hotel does not permit smoking or children younger than 16 years old. UNDER $750 Another kid-free resort is the Riviera Maya's Playa del Carmen's Magic Blue Hotel & Lounge. The 45-room adults-only property boasts thatched-roof bungalows and is conveniently located just one block off the town's main drag, which means you are within walking distance of top-rated restaurants and shops. The travel package includes roundtrip airfare from Chicago, four nights accommodations and daily complimentary breakfast for just $730 provided you travel during the month of September. UNDER $800 Right now you can sun yourself in Puerto Vallarta at the Villa Premiere Hotel and Spa for about as much as it would cost you to fill your family's two SUVs with gas for a month. The 83-room beachfront resort is exclusively for guests 16 years old and up and sits just north of the city's boardwalk on BahÃa de Banderas. When you are done catching rays for the day you can make use of the resort's oxygen bar or sign up for an aromatherapy session. A four-night visit plus roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles is selling for $776 through September.
