Deals from Cincinnati

Holmes County, Ohio, is home to the world's largest Amish community, a culture that eschews modern technology in search of a simpler lifestyle. Consequently, the region feels even more separate from city life than other rural areas, a trait that makes it especially attractive to some. The Inn at Honey Run embraces this ethos while still offering an onsite spa, an upscale restaurant, and other comforts you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel.

The Inn at Honey Run's aesthetic is a far cry from the earthy farmhouses just a few miles away. Bucolic yet refined decor covers both the lobby and the guest rooms with wreaths of sinewy dried vines and local artwork made of wrought iron and polished wood. Several Select rooms occupy upper floors, where treetops are visible through reading nooks' skylights. Alternatively, Honeycomb rooms are built into a hillside and come with a secluded outdoor patio.

Every morning, guests gather at Tarragon, the Inn's upscale yet casual restaurant, for a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, and house-made muffins and pastries. For lunch and dinner, Executive Chef Scott Fetty draws on his training and uses seasonal, local ingredients to craft upscale American cuisine.

At the onsite Spa at Honey Run, sip on flowering tea before a massage, facial treatment, or body treatment that uses 100% organic oils and scrubs. The hiking trails that crisscross the property are another source of relaxation, passing through meadows and forests and along burbling brooks. For an additional fee of $125, the inn will arrange an authentic Amish-country buggy ride around the surrounding hills.

Located about 80 miles south of Cleveland, Holmes County's rolling countryside is rife with farms and stores, as well as a few tourist attractions. See the Amish lifestyle up close at The Farm at Walnut Creek, which also houses exotic creatures such as giraffes, camels, and kangaroos alongside regional animals like cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. The Holmes County Trail follows 29 miles of former railroad lines, from nearby Killbuck to Fredericksburg, with 15 paved miles accommodating Amish buggies and bicycles.

Golf is considered a gentleman's game due to its emphasis on proper etiquette, color-coordinated outfits, and the removal of all brass knuckles before competition. Suit up for sportsmanship with this Groupon.

Cardinal Hills Golf Course's rates vary throughout the week. Though the course occasionally offers specials, this Groupon still represents the best deal available.

Opened in 1968 as a nine-hole course, Cardinal Hills added a back nine in 1996 to form a 5,614-yard excursion that challenges oncomers with undulating greens and tree-lined fairways. Though relatively short in overall length, the Harold England design presents its fair share of difficulties, forcing players to choose their clubs wisely and to carefully discern which flagsticks are actually remnants of failed moon landings.

At Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach, "all-inclusive resort" means much more than unlimited dinners and mai tais. Right in between the beach and the resort, you can learn how to trapeze at an open-air training facility surrounded by netting. Head up to the trapeze platform for a free lesson, and you can see the Caribbean Sea stretch out for miles right next to the resort's private, 5,000-foot stretch of pristine golden beach lined with palapas below.

The trapeze lesson is one of many ways the resort goes beyond the typical all-inclusive experience. When you're not relaxing at the beach, the all-inclusive plan frees you up to try a scuba-diving lesson, take yoga classes, climb a rock wall in the gym, or take in some live entertainment.

The beachfront resort is spread out like a small village, lined with flagstone pathways, landscaped gardens, three pools, and a shady coral stone grotto. At night, you can stop by the discotheque and dance to spicy meringue music, or head to the theater to enjoy a live performance of musicals such as Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. As the night winds down, stop for a midnight snack at the 24-hour pizzeria.

Guests can enjoy unlimited food and drinks from five restaurants and four bars, including La Terraza, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot that serves an international buffet. You can get a nice view of the sunset on the waterfront patio of La Roca Grill, which serves tropical cocktails and fried calamari.

Beachfront bungalows are located steps from the ocean, so guests can fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves and the squeals of dolphins watching horror films.

Bayahibe is situated on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The former fishing village remained relatively untouched by tourism until the late 1990s, when it became known for its white-sand beaches and scuba-diving sites, but it still has a tucked-away feel.

For diving and snorkeling, it's worth it to take a trip to Saona Island, an uninhabited nature reserve located just off the mainland. Tour operators on catamarans and motorboats will drop you around the area's sandbars and shipwrecks, which overflow with brightly colored fish.

About 20 miles (32 km) from the hotel, the cobblestone streets of Altos de Chavon are lined with artists' studios, galleries, and quaint cafés. The European-inspired village is also home to a 5,000-seat amphitheater, which has featured headlining shows from legendary artists including Frank Sinatra and Shakira.

Before photography, subjects had to sit in uncomfortable poses as their portraits were painted, a process that could take several tension-packed years for mug shots. Sit for a quick, painless memory immortalization with this Groupon.

Bella Events coordinates a nationwide network of skilled professional photographers, ready to arrive on location to enshrine milestones and special moments through their expert camera work. After customers send in their contact information, a photography consultant contacts them to exchange ideas and arrange photo-shoot details. By drawing on this information, the consultant can recommend the ideal photographer for the job, which, due to the laws of time and space, cannot always be Annie Leibovitz. Next, shutterbugs appear during the event, whether it be a birthday party or milestone anniversary party, to capture in-the-moment bliss. These lense experts can also render stunning headshots and graduation portraits, all enshrined as high-resolution digital images, classy canvas prints, or personalized mugs, mousepads, and tote bags.

Music festivals offer aural enjoyment until medieval fairs roll into town, distracting concertgoers with impromptu baseball games played with hacky sacks and giant turkey legs. Gear up for this Renaissance-free GrouponLive deal to Abbey Road on The River at Belvedere Festival Park in Louisville. Passes are valid May 25–27. Choose from the following options:

General admission includes access to the main lawn, fountain, river, pool, and knoll areas, as well as all ballrooms, films, and indoor concerts before 11 p.m. General-admission tickets may be used all at once or split up across visits on successive days.

Abbey Road on The River bills itself as the world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival, with more than 60 bands paying tribute to the oft-overlooked British Invasion act during Memorial Day weekend. Each day of the festival sets indoor and outdoor stages chiming with the reanimated sounds of the Fab Four, their contemporaries, and the great American rock and R&B acts who inspired them. Tribute acts from Canada, Germany, Sweden, England, and Italy, as well as U.S.-based songsters, storm the stage. The full scope of Beatlemania shines in other events and activities including seminars, sing-alongs, memorabilia exhibits, and films.

On Saturday at 7 p.m., three sprawling musical groups join forces with live string and keyboard players to recreate LOVE, the remix album recorded by George Martin to both soundtrack a Cirque du Soleil show and provide an ultra-compact introduction to The Beatles' career. Right afterward, Jefferson Starship takes to the stage to continue a legacy begun as seminal psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane. Led by cofounder Paul Kantner, the band weaves trippy guitar lines all the way back to the electrified folk on which its parent group first sailed to fame.

Every time dead skin cells are removed from your body, they reveal a new layer of skin, until finally, all that remains is a Russian matryoshka doll painted to resemble your spirit animal. Reveal the radiance that lies beneath with this Groupon.

During each 45-minute microdermabrasion, an aesthetician glides a diamond-tipped wand across your face. The device exfoliates surface tissues and catalyzes collagen production, which gives the complexion a younger look. The 45-minute peel yields similar results, but exfoliates the skin with a topical product rather than a mechanical device.

Permanent Perfection Permanent Cosmetics & Skin Care’s licensed beauticians upgrade clients' appearances with classic and uncommon spa services. During therapeutic cupping treatments, staffers create small pockets of suction to gently increase lymphatic flow, reduce toxins, contour bodies, and ameliorate scarring. To mold shapelier frames, technicians swaddle guests with slimming body wraps or melt fat with ultrasound liposuction. In addition to body treatments, the clinic offers teeth-whitening, facials, and permanent-makeup applications. Permanent Perfection's techs can also remove tattoos by using advanced technology or traveling back in time and trapping your past self in a net.

Since its original construction in 1888, Plaza Resort & Spa has transformed from a stagecoach stop to an early aviation exhibition site to a barracks for the Women's Army Corps during WWII. Fires and inclement weather have destroyed the hotel over the years, yet it always seems to emerge stronger than before, and a multimillion-dollar restoration has brought about its most luxurious incarnation yet. Located steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, the Plaza Resort now features a 15,000-square-foot European-style spa and a sprawling oceanfront pool deck.

Though much of the Daytona shoreline is open to auto traffic, the beach alongside the hotel is car-free and comparatively quieter. From the private balcony connected to your ocean-view room, you can watch the sunrise over the Atlantic or wait until a more reasonable hour and re-create the sunrise with a flashlight. Head downstairs to the hotel's Ocean Waters Spa for any number of restorative services, including the popular green-coffee slimming body wrap, a 55-minute treatment designed to smooth cellulite and increase metabolism. The beach is just a few feet from the hotel, but for a more private experience, kick back in one of the lounge chairs by the pool.

Seven miles from the Plaza Resort & Spa, the intoxicating scent of engine fuel and burnt rubber beckons from Daytona International Speedway. During 30-minute guided tram tours, you can stroll the infield and traverse the pit road while Mustang and Monte Carlo experts narrate the history of motorsports. For a more intimate experience, you can accompany a professional driver for three laps in a standard stock car or attempt a 16-second pit-stop challenge in a professional racecar.

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, one of the tallest masonry lighthouses in the country, stands guard about 10 miles south of the hotel on Ponce Inlet. Built in the 1880s, the 175-foot granite structure and its surrounding Victorian brick buildings feature exhibits lined with old lighthouse lenses and various historical artifacts. You can climb the 203 steps to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the beach and an inexplicable performance of "Eye of the Tiger."

Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region is the textbook image of idyllic farmland—a landscape of rolling hills divided by rail fences into orchards, wineries, and horse pastures. In 1926, the Cleveland Orphanage Institution decided it was the perfect setting for educating children. They rebuilt the Cleveland Home as a Dutch Colonial Revival building, providing plenty of room for kids to run around. Today, it’s become The Woodford Inn, a stately, red brick structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bruce and Linda Parker, two restaurateurs-turned-innkeepers, keep the place as welcoming as ever with warm hospitality and home-cooked southern fare.

The onsite Addie’s Restaurant and Bar is named after Linda’s mother, who used to prepare her family’s large Sunday dinners. The restaurant serves local specialties such as the Hot Brown sandwich ($12) with roast turkey and country ham in cheesy mornay sauce. An equally hearty breakfast often includes pancakes, bacon, and omelets, all served from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. You can dine inside, where paintings of racehorses line the walls, or head out to the patio, which is flanked by grassy lawns and conifers. There’s also a front porch, outfitted in classic southern fashion with rocking chairs and hanging ferns.

Inside, many of the inn's 10 guest rooms overlook the neighboring Woodford County Park. Though no two rooms are identical, all boast Tempur-Pedic mattresses, ornately carved headboards, and jacuzzi tubs. Room 3’s two-person tub makes it a good fit for couples.

The town of Versailles was named after the site of Louis XIV's gilded palace in France, yet the two places share little in common. The American version is located along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, a string of famous distilleries including Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, and Wild Turkey. The region is also home to some of the most successful racehorse breeders in the world, whose ponies have gone on to win the Triple Crown and star in the doodles of 12-year-old girls all over the world.

Half an hour east, Lexington has many equine-related attractions of its own, including the Kentucky Horse Park and the Keeneland Race Track, a beautiful course that dates to 1935 and is known for its horse auctions. Nearby, the Mary Todd Lincoln House is filled with rooms made to look much like the ones lived in by Abraham Lincoln’s First Lady.

A graduation is a rite of passage that will be remembered fondly forever, much like a baby's first steps or a truckasaurus's first SUV. Prance across the stage with this Groupon.

A shipping fee of $4.95 is included in the price of this Groupon; choose between redeeming your Groupon in 2012 or from January 1 to July 1, 2013. Professionally printed on bright, waterproof plastic, Tassel Toppers affix to mortarboards to identify individuals in a sea of graduates. The topper might thank parents, share an inspiring quote, or broadcast where the student is headed next. An online design tool customizes the accessories with background colors, text, clip art, or uploaded photos before they are brought to life in crisp, clear color by a UV LED printer. Adhesives affix the topper to three corners of the cap, leaving the front free for the tassel-turning ceremony. Like fake mustaches, toppers easily slip on and off between informal and formal occasions, and the accessories can be displayed on desks or beside diplomas for posterity, making for long-lasting graduation gifts.

Tassel Toppers emblazon the tops of caps with custom messages, causing smiling graduates to stand out in crowds of similarly clad peers. Collegiate logos showcase school pride, and Greek letters rendered in crisp color on the detachable accessory commemorate life in a fraternity or sorority. Some of the shop's bestselling images include heartfelt thanks for mom and dad, as well as cheeky messages such as “Kiss Me I'm Irish” and “Hasta La Vista.” The Miami Herald even profiled the innovative yet simple concept. In addition, an online design tool allows pupils to express their uniqueness without refusing to dance during the “YMCA” portion of the ceremony.

Located one block east of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, Ivy Boutique Hotel opens in May 2012 as the newest work from Arthur Minor, who designed The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. With swanky amenities including mirror televisions and theater surround sound in all guest rooms, the hotel seems poised to become one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. Although the Ivy rises up 15 stories, there are only five guest rooms per floor, providing guests with a mixture of intimacy and comfort that makes it “the only true boutique luxury hotel in the city,” according to HotelChatter.

After guests check in via iPad, hotel staff members personally escort them to 675-square-foot king suites. A paragon of modern design, the suites contain platform beds with white leather headboards and floor-to-ceiling windows that open. Eco-friendly bamboo flooring, along with organic towels and rugs made from thistle, help to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint. Guests can watch the flat-screen TV set in the vanity mirror while getting ready in the morning or practice Tarzan-style affirmation chants in the rainforest shower.

The Ivy is also in the process of opening an intimate 30- to 40-person restaurant and bar on the first floor. "We will try to use as much organic produce as possible," manager James Cazares says of his upcoming, reservations-only hot spot. A rooftop lounge opening in June will offer picture-perfect views of the city.

Located north of downtown, Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood hugs the shore of Lake Michigan, occupying some of the city's most desirable real estate. Its reputation as an upscale residential spot dates back to 1882, when wealthy businessmen began building castle-like mansions along the waterfront. For a glimpse at these historical estates, head to the Seven Houses on Lake Shore Drive District, where you'll find a French-chateau-inspired mansion that now serves as the International Museum of Surgical Science. A walk down Astor Street reveals some of the city's most unique architecture, including the Charnley-Persky House built by Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright in 1892.

Those looking for a hip nightlife will find trendy restaurants and nightclubs—many of which are open until 5 a.m.—catering to a well-dressed crowd. For people watching and the occasional celebrity sighting, head to Rush and Division, a see-and-be-seen spot dotted with upscale shops, classic Chicago bars, and diamond-encrusted parking meters.

As she moved up the ranks from copywriter to editor to executive recruiter for numerous Fortune 500 companies, JMC Resumes, Ltd. founder J. Melissa Cooper wrote millions of words and refined hundreds of resumés. Today, she uses that experience to lead a band of staffing- and recruiting-savvy wordsmiths, who craft new resumés from scratch, tune up existing ones, and draft cover letters infused with interview-attracting pheromones. Without the use of templates, these professional resumé writers compose custom CVs for a variety of workforce ranks—from tenderfoot to VP—and federal specialists focus on resumés for government agencies. The company maintains a 99.4% client-satisfaction rate, and the founder herself oversees every final draft before it enters clients' inboxes.

Many jobs require previous experience in the field, which is why recent college graduates often lose out on positions to holstein cows. Milk a new resource with this Groupon.

In 2010, Gradspring’s founders realized there was not a website that connected recent graduates to entry-level jobs that require a degree without work experience, and many of these same grads had trouble finding positions in their desired fields. From this, the idea of Gradspring was born. The website curates a thought-out collection of thousands of job listings that upholds a stringent trio of criteria: all salaries must meet the industry standard, no listings can require more than two years of experience, and all jobs must have a physical workspace—meaning no jobs in the fourth dimension.

The website welcomes account holders to peruse these listings and look for the right position. Each listing includes company information, location, and a job description, and interested candidates can apply directly on the site. The portal also houses resources to help members overhaul their resumés, hone their interview skills, and decide whether it’s appropriate to wear a necktie or bowtie on their first day in the office. Those that sign up for a six-month membership also receive a job guarantee, meaning that the site will renew their subscription until they find the right position.

From afar, the sun-baked clay and steppe-style façade of Capella Ixtapa Resort & Spa looks like it was carved out of the cliff face at water's edge. Up close, the resort still feels like an extension of its surroundings. Hardwood beams and thatched palapa roofs blend seamlessly with lush palmettos, cacti, and exotic flowers. Infinity pools appear to spill out onto the crashing waters of the Pacific Ocean. The setting and rustic architecture are equally striking; it's no surprise that Capella Ixtapa Resort & Spa was designated as Mexico's Leading Resort by the World Travel Awards in 2010 and is nominated again this year.

Inside the suites, you can soak up warm breezes from a private terrace or cool off in your own infinity plunge pool. Forbes Life described the contemporary rooms as "flat-out mesmerizing." It might take superhuman willpower to step away from your oceanfront lookout, but there's plenty to explore throughout the property. At the spa, an earthy-chic ambiance soothes the senses and whales off the coast perform Sade's greatest hits during outdoor massages.

Cast-iron wall sculptures add a touch of the avant-garde to the dining room at A Mares Restaurant, where inventive chefs push the boundaries of classic Mexican cuisine. A Mares serves dinner only, but the poolside Las Rocas Restaurant offers icy margaritas and shrimp cocktail throughout the day. If you're game for an adventure, you can book a horseback ride on the shores of Playa Larga, charter a deep-sea fishing boat, or snorkel around nearby coral reefs.

A popular resort area, Ixtapa lies along the Pacific Ocean on Mexico's southwest coast, in the strip of land known as Costa Grande. Its geography is marked by white-sands beaches and the crystal waters draw kayakers, snorkelers, and sport fishermen year-round.

About a 20-minute drive south along the coast, the quiet fishing town of Zihuatanejo offers a quiet alternative to the relative bustle of Ixtapa. Anyone who's seen an hourly cable broadcast of The Shawshank Redemption might recall that the Tim Robbins character dreams of living as a fisherman in Zihuatanejo. There are plenty of secluded spots to live out his dream along the Paseo del Pescador. Along the more lively fisherman's boardwalk, shops are stocked with Cuban cigars, handmade jewelry, and local tequila. There's usually a musician or two walking the stone streets, eager to serenade passersby with a romantic rendition of The Price is Right theme.
