A night at a lavish resort is a welcome treat for overworked homeowners and for those in hiding from Pat Sajak. Today's Groupon lets you sleep soundly away from home: for $199, you get an overnight stay in an executive suite at Gaylord Palms Resort, located just a mile and a half away from Disney World, in Kissimmee (up to a $588 value). Buyers must hurry, this Groupon is only good from now until January 31 and isn't available for use on the following dates: December 14, December 31 - January 1, January 15-18, January 24, and January 26.

Escape the concrete jungle for a night in the temperature-controlled jungle of a massive resort and playland. Executive suites at the resort reach up to 725 square feet, and come complete with a living area and queen sleeper sofa, a small dining table, a separate bedroom with a king-size bed, and marble finishes on the surfaces. In addition to its lavish guest rooms, Gaylord Palms contains six restaurants and lounges, a spa, a retail space, and four and a half acres of gardens and tributaries under its signature glass dome, including three enclosed habitats that re-create Florida environments. Stroll through the rustic wooden walkways of the Everglades as mists rise all around you and marvel at the Spanish Renaissance architecture and old-world charm of St. Augustine. Those in need of good cheer can scope out the hotel’s holiday happenings, including an interactive ice display carved from 2 million pounds of ice, acres of dazzling lights, appearances by an extra-jolly Father Christmas, and more.

A hotel room offers a comforting escape for yourself or for others. Take a break from out-of-town guests who keep eating all your Kix, sleeping on your couch, and attempting to steal your dog by putting them up in a swanky suite for a night. The room could also be used to take a temporary staycation with the family over the holiday weekend or turn any weekend into a holiday. Two Groupons may be used for two consecutive nights, but reservations are based on availability and there is no guarantee that both nights will be open.

Groupon must be redeemed by Jan. 31
