Here are our newest picks:

• Beautiful Roatán is the perfect place to soak up some sun seaside—but that’s not all this tropical paradise has to offer. Discover three great alternatives to lying on the beach (think snorkeling and playing with monkeys) on the largest of Honduras’s Bay Islands. @meganotravels
• If you’re heading to Romania, think about adding the resort town of Sinaia to your itinerary. Beautiful mountains, a classic European castle, and a monastery for which Sinaia is named make this destination worthy of a visit—if only for a day. @HeckticTravels
• Just a short drive from Manhattan, Hudson, New York, manages to offer the perfect blend of sophistication and small-town charm—with a whiff of a hippie vibe. Check out this “exurban whirlwind weekend to-do list” to find out where to shop, eat, and stay when you want to escape “the city.” @FathomWaytoGo
