CuisinArt Resort and Spa

CuisinArt Resort and Spa Review

This family-friendly beachfront resort's design—gleaming white-stucco buildings, blue domes and trim, glass-block walls—blends art deco with a Greek Islands feel. Huge rooms were refurnished and redecorated in 2008, painted in a calming sky blue and fitted with flat-screen TVs. Guests return in droves to enjoy the casual atmosphere, full-service spa, extensive sports facilities, and the fulfill-every-wish concierge crew, who provide everything from vacation-long nannies to local cell phones to dinner reservations. Continuing facility upgrades include a spacious health club with a Technogym system and spa with dozens of personalized treatments. High-season children's programs give parents a chance to enjoy the holiday, too. A hydroponic farm provides ultrafresh organic produce for the two restaurants; tours of the greenhouse, lush tropical gardens, and orchards are fun and engaging. Cooking classes and demonstrations are conducted in the teaching kitchen, and enjoyed at a Chef's Table twice weekly. Six private villas opened in 2009.
