Does it get hot enough? Which hotel is nice?

Def gets hot enough.  If you are looking for a points hotel, then Fairmont.  If you are willing to spend, grotto resort was very nice and hung out at Elbow Beach resort, it was gorgeous

IYH transitioning jobs in 2 weeks (staying with my company).  I have a tradition of taking a small trip between jobs, once went to Myrtle Beach for 2 days and one time went to Bermuda.  Looking this time for a 2 day trip within driving distance from NYC and relaxing.  Can't make up my mind.  Any suggestions are great.  Thanks

+1 was about to suggest this if your time frame is the summer, although over July 4, I had bad weather.

Looking to get away for a week with the wife at end of July with no kids.
Thinking somewhere in Europe.
Primary requirement is availability of kosher food.
Wed love. To do France, but I feel like it's not really jew friendly now...
Currently leaning to Italy. Some. Combination of Venice, Rome, Milan (wife's grandmother from there so she'd like to see it even for just a day), maybe Florence. I know we can't do all of them in a week.
Any other recommendations for places in Europe meeting the kosher criteria?
