3. Trump National Doral Miami
Although this resort is a hot spot for golfers, the Trump National Doral Miami also entices sun-seekers and leisure travelers interested in getting away from the hustle and bustle of Miami. The 800-acre property features 643 guest rooms and suites that are dripping in signature Trump luxury. Standard rooms showcase golf leaf Spanish revival decor and come with frameless showers with rainfall showerheads, internet access (which the property’s $39.55 daily resort fee covers), Nespresso coffee makers and stocked minibars. Most spaces also offer private balconies or lanais. Outside the accommodations, visitors will find an impressively large spa (48,000 square feet), a palm tree-clad pool with a waterslide, four tennis courts and four golf courses. Golfers or not, guests were amazed with every aspect of the property, from the pristine decor to the out-of-this-world customer service.
4. The Osthoff Resort
Overlooking little Elkhart Lake in eastern Wisconsin — about 60 miles north of Milwaukee — The Osthoff Resort is described by previous guests as a great choice for couples and families looking for an elegant getaway. Guests say the are well appointed and homey thanks to in-room fireplaces, kitchenettes and separate living areas. The rooms also boast private balconies; visitors recommend requesting a room with lake views for a more scenic stay. Most guests agree that the crisp clear waters of Elkhart Lake make for some great swimming in the summer, and those looking to kick back and relax can spend an afternoon lounging in one of the resort’s two whirlpools. Beyond that, lessons in French cuisine at L’ecole de la Maison cooking school are a popular draw.
