Once Manhattan turns into a pressure cooker, usually in mid-July, I'm looking for the exits ... and I fully realize that we don't have "real" heat up here. So, if you have it worse than I do, check out the latest deal from Samoset Resort. Tucked away on the edge of Penobscot Bay, this property's new zero-entry pool is a great place to hide from the heat this summer, even if only for a weekend.

Spend two nights at the Samoset, relax in a private cabana, and take a break from the pool in a luxurious, oversized hot tub. Relax your body, a bit ... and help this process along with a $50 resort credit at the Splash Pool Bar. You'll get all this (and breakfast every day) for $259 a night, as long as you visit between Sunday and Thursday. Once August ends, the deal does, too.

To take advantage of the special, remember to use the promo code HOT.
