NEGRIL, JAMAICA
What the kids do: Buy a night pass to Hedonism II's "Pajama Party"; dare one another to jump off the 33-foot cliff at Rick's Cafe; try to score ganja from the locals.

What you'll do: Hide out at The Caves, an intimate, ten-room resort just up the road from the thick of things. It runs 500 feet along the seaside cliffs and has an organic feel, with stone structures blending into the rocks; the candlelit dining room and hot tub are actually carved into the grottoes. Guest cottages are made of wood, stone, and thatch, and have boldly colored, hand-carved furnishings. The Aveda mini-spa should take care of any residual stress. For kicks, charter a 60-foot catamaran from the company Wild Thing, and tip your Red Stripe at the teens jumping on the offshore floating trampoline. Later, taxi down to Seven Mile Beach and treat yourself to some New World Caribbean fare—red snapper poached in a cream-caper sauce; oven-roasted chicken with fresh coconut flakes—at Norma's on the Beach, run by Norma Shirley, Jamaica's answer to Julia Child. While you're in town, take a quick peek inside a shoreside bar like Risky Business, with its wet T-shirt contests and umpteenth repeat of "Buffalo Soldier"—just to see what you're not missing.
