Travel: Affordable Guilty Pleasures

Oct. 20, 2004 -- -- Everyone has some kind of a guilty pleasure. Some are just more affordable than others.

Dana Dickey, senior editor of "Conde Nast Traveler" magazine, says it's the best time of year to indulge in a fantasy vacation you can actually afford.

Check out the destinations Dickey talked about on ABC News' "Good Morning America."

Ritz Carlton, Naples, Fla.: $499 for a 2-night package
There are amazing deals to be had here, especially following the Florida hurricanes, according to Dickey. The fall value package at the Ritz Carlton in Naples is offering a $499 two-night package. The same two-night package would be twice as much during the high season in this region, she said. www.ritzcarlton.com

The Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas: $199 for a 3-night package
Dickey says a trip to the Bahamas is both affordable and luxurious this time of year. Jet Blue is flying direct routes to Nassau, Bahamas from just $99 each way (from New York City's JFK Airport; include extra for taxes). You can then book a three-night, four-day package starting from $199 at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. The Atlantis offers innovative entertainment with the Caribbean's largest casino, 35 restaurants and lounges and more than 11 million gallons of water activities and attractions. www.atlantis.com

Palmilla, Los Cabos, Mexico: $425 per night
The "one and only Palmilla resort" is a fabulous resort, according to Dickey. The resort opened in January 2004 after a $90 million renovation and expansion. It has now emerged as one of the world's most luxurious resorts. Palmilla offers one of the region's most stunning natural landscapes and it offers a world-class golf course and luxurious rooms. Right now it will run you $425 a night for an oceanfront suite and $1,200 a night for a beachfront one-bedroom luxury suite. www.palmillaresort.com
