Meliá Braco Village, Jamaica

The 320-foot long zip line will fly you over a lagoon and a swathe of tropical forest. And if that’s not enough, there’s an obstacle course, trampoline court and a four-lane, 35-foot high rock wall to climb.

I’ll just stay here on the beach with my non-alcoholic beverage and educational novel. Have fun and come back in the late afternoon.” Good plan, right?
