It’s March. In most parts of the country the sun is starting to peak through the clouds, temperatures are starting to warm up and you’re seriously in need of a break! When we were kids, we had Spring Break. Now, unless you have kids or are reliving your college days, that little escape may not exist. Well, I’m here to offer a little spring inspiration with some of my favorite destinations that will warm up those winter bones and get you ready for some summer fun!
$$$: $301 +
$$: $201-$300
$: < $201
Scottsdale, AZ
The red rocks and desert temps of Arizona, mixed with the style and flare of Los Angeles = Scottsdale. Great restaurants, awesome nightlife and totally relaxing spas await those looking for a quick, inexpensive (for the most part) escape!

Mexico
Mexico is a cheap Spring Break heaven for the college coeds. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find an amazing, luxury property sans boozing-it-up boneheads. Here are my three favorite Mexican getaways for any budget! (Book during the end of April, first of May for non-spring break prices)
$: Mosquito Beach Adult Only Hotel
Southern California
I love Spring on the West Coast. Whether it’s an Santa Monica, Laguna or San Diego; So-Cal has coastal towns offer great temps, plenty of sunshine and the perfect flip-flop experience that you need to help you mentally come out of Winter hibernation. (Avoid May Gray & June Gloom in parts of Southern California)

$$: Shutters on the Beach – Santa Monica
Paris, France
This may sound a bit cliché, yes – but Spring in Paris is AMAZING! This is one of my favorite times to visit this incredibly modern, romantic and exciting city of love!
$$$: Hotel Daniel
$$: Hotel Le A
Marrakech, Morocco
Marrakech? Really? YES!!!! If you want something different and exciting- Marrakech offers the most bang for your buck! Culture & history mixed with a seductive sexiness that is found NO place else in this world!

$$$: Riad Lotus Privilege

You should add Hotel Aqua to your Mexico list. I just got back from there and it is amazing. Further down the beach away from the spring break crowd and definitely a Jet Set hot spot!

Oops, forgot to say that Aqua is in Cancun.
Kim,
I just saw your spring fever blog, and thought you might be interested in hearing about some additional domestic options for your readers to consider this Spring.
I wanted to let you know about the great Spring Savings taking place at One Ocean Resort Hotel & Spa in Atlantic Beach, Florida – - Northeast Florida’s newest beachfront resort.
The resort is combining savings and sophistication this spring break with three special offers, starting at $259 and providing savings up to 38 percent. Packages are good now through the end of April and additional nights are available for the reduced rate of $150 per night.
The resort is perfect for Spring Break as it is lined by the beach on one side and nestled directly across from the quaint shops, restaurants & ice cream parlors of the Beaches Town Center (meaning car keys can be ditched upon arrival). Not to mention each guest receives a personal docent to unpack clothing, and stock the complimentary in-room amenity cabinet with the family’s favorite snacks and beverages.
Feel free to checkout the resort’s website to see how truly spectacular it really is:
