Vacationers are drawn to the beach not only because of the tranquil atmosphere, but also because of its uncanny ability to sound like the inside of a seashell. Marvel at natural impersonations with today’s deal: for $249, you get a one-night stay for two people in a garden suite with a plunge pool at Esencia in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (up to a $665 value). You may buy up to four Groupons and use one per night to extend your stay.
Sprawling along 50 awe-inspiring acres of the glittering Riviera Maya, the private seaside refuge of Esencia indulges guests with the luxury of a relaxing beachfront-villa vacation. Once owned by an Italian duchess and used as a winter refuge from the cold international slickness of modern hotels, Esencia boasts an inviting, house-like atmosphere with stunning terrace views. Each high-ceilinged garden suite envelopes vacationers in Esencia's elegant tropical garden, with a large terrace sitting area and a private plunge pool. A double vanity, shower room, and walk-in closet accommodate guests preparing to stroll along pristine beaches or sandbar catwalks. And Egyptian-cotton sheets and native hardwood furnishings adorn each room, providing guests with a good night's sleep before they enjoy a continental breakfast.

The Groupon Guide to: Surfing the Internet
Containing everything from the great works of literature to spoilers for the upcoming presidential election, the Internet can be a valuable resource—if you know how to use it. Use these tips to ensure a productive trip to cyberspace and back:
- Type the word surf into your computer's keyboard at anytime to access your Internet's web browser.
- If your computer is less than 10 years old, your browser must be voice navigated. Shout such things as "photo of a helicopter" or "birth parents?" and let the Internet do the rest.
- The Internet has more than 60 websites. Remember your favorites by "bookmarking" them (writing their names down on a bookmark you keep nailed to your computer).
- Surf safely. Not only is this practical advice, it's also the name of the web's official mascot, Surf Safely, the surfing coyote who reminds children not to burn down the Internet.
- Unplug and unwind. Using the Internet for more than four minutes a day will cause hair to grow uncontrollably from your mouth.
