Check out the Canon SX710 HS, we bought this camera earlier this year and took on a trip and it took awesome photos and was very easy to setup and use and nothing complicated at all.
They also sell this model at Costco, cost was around $300 CAD so probably about $260-270 USD.
Also has an app that makes it easy to transfer photos from the camera to a phone, my wife really loved this feature to send photos to family while travelling with limited Wi-Fi.
