Summer Can Suck It ([link removed])

This piece is, admittedly, going to be controversial. I mean, who hates summer!?!? Well, for one, Katie Bingham-Smith does and even I will admit her points have merit. There’s the sand, the excessive air conditioning, and so much more. So yes, these are all first world problems, but let her have her moment as the season kicks off, ok?

Summer Travel
This Luxe, All-Inclusive Resort In Punta Cana Might Be The Vacation You Come Back Relaxed From ([link removed])

Let’s be honest: most “family vacations” are just parenting in a prettier location. But Hilton’s Zemi Miches Punta Cana ([link removed]) is here to flip the script. Opening this summer on a private beach along the Dominican Republic’s Playa Esmeralda, this oceanfront all-inclusive has everything you need to actually unplug. Think: unlimited cocktails, four dreamy pools (yes, there’s a waterpark for the kids), and 10+ restaurants and bars to keep everyone fed and happy without a single decision required. While the little ones are off making crafts or burning off energy at the Kids Club, you can sneak away to the rooftop pool, join a beach yoga class, or book a hydrotherapy session at the spa. Translation? It’s not just a vacation — it’s an escape you’ll feel in your soul.
