Fodor's Review:

This redo of a 1980s-era resort exceeds your expectations. The stunning, grand entrance (a Sara Garcia design) with its slender, white pillars utilizes white fabric to shelter the lobby from tropical rainfalls. The cushy, woven lounge furniture with bright and floral pillows, the boutique with its tropical whites, the staff in their tropical whites, all make for one attractive island scenario. It provides the backdrop for the weekly manager's party that may be the country's best: a stellar five-piece band, mimosas, and delicious hors d'oeuvres. The exuberant management leads the way to an admirable display of abundance that represents all the à la carte Asian and seafood restaurants as well as the international buffet, from raw oysters to a real turkey dinner. P.S.: This is an adults-only resort—no children allowed; upgrade your room if you can afford it. Pros: Great spa, handsome beach club and stellar beachfront, yoga and golf classes included. Cons: Mosquitoes are a constant problem, the animation staff and the music are just too loud some days, standard and standard-plus rooms are not luxurious.
