Fodor's Review:

Sybaritic and serene, this 179-acre resort wraps around breathtaking Maundays Bay. The glittering sand is rivaled only by the dramatic domed, white, Moorish-style villas, caring staff, and first-rate sports facilities. A $20 million renovation in the fall of 2008 refreshed and updated the decor. There's lush landscaping and a welcome re-organization of the public spaces, as well as changes in all the restaurants, with a modern but sophisticated garden-to-table approach to the cuisine. Fresh herbs and spices, grown on the premises, are used in the restaurants, and ably utilized by René Bajeux, the award-winning chef of René Bistrot in New Orleans. With a nod to the fragile environment, guests now have private solar-powered golf carts to buzz around the grounds. Enormous and private, guest rooms are furnished with white organdy beds swathed in yards of netting canopies and Frette linen, big flat screen TVs, resort wide Wi-Fi, and new outdoor furniture on the private patios, and the beach. The romantic atmosphere makes this resort popular for honeymoons and destination weddings. And, despite the international elite clientele, the four-to-one staff-to-guest-room ratio assures first rate service. Facilities include a fitness center, an aqua-golf driving range, and an extensive water-sports pavilion. Standard accommodations are well laid out, spacious, and comfortable. Flexible multibedroom private villas are beautifully furnished and include a 24-hour-a-day butler. A variety of spa services can be provided in the privacy of your own accommodations, and a daily schedule of activities like morning pool-side yoga, beach fitness, or nature walks tempt you to leave your beach chaise. Pros: lots of space to stretch out on miles of talcum-soft sand; warm service; romantic atmosphere. Cons: it's sometimes hard to find your room, as the units have strange names or numbers; as of this writing, bathrooms are still to be updated.
