I can hardly believe that I just spent $1,129.16 for a one-night, mother-daughter getaway to a top-rated spa. No regrets! In fact, if I’ve got a glow, it’s probably due to the benefits of quality bonding time with my kid, the facial — and a chance to splurge like it’s 2003 again.

But seriously, our trip offered very good value and I would definitely recommend Mohonk Mountain House in New York’s lush Hudson Valley. We just got back from this century-old, historic Victorian castle that’s been in the Smiley family for generations. They’ve pumped millions of dollars into updating their New Paltz resort with a lovely spa that gets high marks from Conde Naste Traveller’s 2012 readers’ choice survey.

Even though the spa was fab, it’s totally possible to skip it and still have a great time. You don’t even have to stay at Mohonk to enjoy this famous venue; day trippers are welcome, with rates for “day guests” who come to hike, boat, eat or spa. Another plus is the crowd. Everyone is very down-to-earth. No snotty beautiful people anywhere. Just regular folk. Tons of families with kids, couples of all ages and groups of friends hanging out.

Our basic bill-for-two was $520. I booked the cheapest room available and it was still a charmer. This price covered three meals at Mohonk’s food coma-inducing, all-you-can-eat buffets, valet parking, all tips, complimentary access to the pool, all boating, hiking trails and tours, fitness center yoga classes, evening campfires, movies and more.

The room was adorable — two twin beds with a nifty, compact full bathroom and private balcony where we’d sit in the rocking chairs and inhale the incredible Mohonk Lake view. So the total for everything mentioned up to this point breaks out to $260 per person for a 30-hour stay.

And here are three tips for getting even more for your money on that basic bill…

Tip #1: Go early and stay late. The Mohonk folks are exceedingly generous. While check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out is at 1 p.m., overnight guests are welcome to arrive whenever. We showed up at 11 a.m. and didn’t leave until after taking two late afternoon yoga classes. Next time, we will go even earlier to take advantage of the guided hikes and strolls that tend to start around 10 a.m.

Tip #2: Spend $25 to enjoy the spa facilities. The spa is such a peaceful, pretty oasis. There’s an outdoor hot mineral pool, a solarium completele with cozy furniture and fireplace, and an indoor veranda featuring lounge chairs overlooking the woods.

Tip #3: Book way in advance and look for deals. A two-night weekend stay is the the norm. Then again, I called months before our scheduled Sunday night stay and was told that booking ahead of time for one night was sometimes okay, depending on the time of year, etc. There are also periodic special deals on the website, although getting in during peak season is tough. In fact, it’s only August now and Mohonk’s three-night minimum for Thanksgiving weekend is already sold out.

Now back to the spa….what a treat! Taking photos wasn’t allowed. Instead, here is the link to the spa menu of more than 80 services. The listed prices include tax and tip, which was a relief for me. Gabi really enjoyed both her 50-minute, $120 teen massage and the $80, 25-minute teen facial. As for me, I had my first facial in six years, a 50-minute, $120 deep-cleansing that was very refreshing.

We had so much fun that we hated to leave. Mohonk is such a magical place. And someday, we will be back again. :)

There's nothing quite like arriving at your hotel after an exhausting trip, strapping into a safety harness and ascending 400-feet using a series of ladders and cables to your see-through room that dangles off the side of a mountain.

The hotel, appropriately named the Skylodge Adventure Suites is located in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco, Peru, and consists of three separate but not very private luxury capsules.

The hotel, which opened in June of 2013, claims to be the 'first ever hanging lodge in the world.' The 24-by-8-foot enclosures are made up of aerospace aluminum and weather resistant polycarbonate, and each contain four beds, a dining area and bathroom, and can accommodate a total of 8 people.

Dinner, wine and breakfast are provided, which you can eat on your private dining area that rests above your pod. The entire experience costs about $300-per-person. The price includes descending from your hotel room via zip line, which may be the ultimate way to exit any vacation.

Although the bathroom lacks a shower and is separated from the rest of the enclosure, it doesn't look very private. But it must be pretty easy to forget about the privacy with a view like that.

The rooms are also equipped with four interior lamps as well as a reading lamp provided by solar panels and a battery, but that seems to be the extent of its electricity. We're pretty sure you won't mind having a dead phone at this hotel.
