For those feeling the winter blues, we found some great travel deals so you can relax and recharge in style.

Miami
After a $1 billion renovation and expansion, Fontainebleau in Miami offers plenty of escape options, including a bi-level Lapis spa, 11 restaurants and nightclubs, and private poolside cabanas complete with a flat-screen, wireless and butler service. Book by February 10 for stays between now and May 31 to receive a US$50 daily resort credit. Rates start at only US$349 Sunday through Thursday and $399 Friday and Saturday for stays between now and May 31, 2009.

Los Cabos
Beginning now and valid through 2009, over 20 world-class hotels and resorts in Los Cabos are offering visitors a $400 per room credit upon hotel check-out, virtually reimbursing guests the cost of one airline ticket. We recommend the Melia Hotel, situated on the only swimmable beach in Cabo, the more low-key Pueblo Bonito Pacifica, or the boutique elegance and haute cuisine of Casa Natalia in San Jose del Cabo.
