As the snow is melting away I've noticed more and more students anticipating the sunny "spring weather." There is a constant buzz in the air looming around campus about where the perfect spring break spot would be for 2009. I've considered myself to be a well traveled "spring breaker" and have created a list of my favorite top 5 spring break hot spots.
1.) Bahamahs
Why so great? Staying at the famous Atlantis offered many options of things to do throughout the early morning, noon and night. The resort was enormous. It had multiple large salt-water fish aquariums that one could admire and over six different swimming pools along with multiple cobannas. It even had its own water park located in the hotel's backyard as well as a beautiful beach. My ultimate favorite attribute of the Atlantis and overall vacation was the dolphin adventure. The resort offers two different dolphin experiences, both which include up close and personal interaction with the amazing creatures.
2.) Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
If one is looking for a "spring breaker" atmosphere that includes a massive crowd of people who are 18 and up with constant late-night party places, this is the place to be! It is a great place to siesta when tired from indulging in a long night of the fiesta scene. For instance, during the day one can enjoy relaxing on the beach or when hot, cool off with a beverage at a swim-up-bar that several hotels offer.
3.) Destin, Florida
This hot spot offers a two-sided vacation experience. I have been to Destin with my parents and also just with my friends and both vacations were completely fun but in totally different ways. I recommend staying at Green Reef Condominiums. There is always a family atmosphere but it becomes a much more loud and younger place to be during spring break so no matter who you're with there is always the best of both worlds. The condos are located right on the beach. I've been to many wonderful beaches but I believe Destin's beaches are the most beautiful of all. The sand feels and looks like sugar and the water is crystal clear. If one gets tired of the beach routine there are several local clothing shops and fashion malls. There are many more cozy eccentric towns that surround the town leaving room to explore more of Florida. My favorite part about vacationing here is the seafood cuisine. I haven't eaten anywhere that has an ocean-view and disliked the food. If you like sushi, I recommend a restaurant called Harbor Docks. If you sit outside you have a perfect view of the ocean and everything on their menu is killer!
4.) Las Vegas, New Mexico
Vegas made the list because of the obvious, party! Party! Party! You have the chance of feeling alive by taking a risk at the millions of beautiful hotel casinos. Each building has a new and exciting environment with several bar and club options allowing you to party all night. I've found myself to become very fond of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. I feel that out of all of the hotels offered, it has the younger vibe by crawling with college students. For those who don't like taking chances, there is always the sure thing route. Las Vegas is full of shopping opportunities from everything shops to couture shops. For those who want to just relax, hangout, meet new people or just want to keep the party going, there is the pool scene. Most of the casinos are complete with multiple exquisite pools that are always over flowing with beach bodies.
5.) Breckenridge, Colorado
This is my favorite ski spot. What I also love about Breckenridge is it offers various slope runs ranging from easy to hard so if friends who aren't the best well-rounded skier or snowboarder come it's not a problem. Why I am mostly fond of this vacation spot is because of the quaint town that it offers. The town is not too small or too big so it's easy to get the ropes of it quickly. It is very cozy but still offers many places for fun nightlife.
