Painted an eye-popping shade of pink, this mountainside hotel doesn't take itself too seriously. Colorful murals of the eponymous bird brighten the open and airy lobby. The accommodations are a bit more subdued, though they continue the tropical theme. (The Dolphin Room has—what else?—a stuffed dolphin.) Each has a balcony where you can enjoy the view. There are two restaurants that share a similar theme—Sloppy Joe's on the lower level serves sandwiches and other light fare, while Smilin' Joe's upstairs serves red snapper and other excellent seafood dishes. At the bar you can sample a parrot-theme concoction. Pros: whimsical design; lush setting; friendly staff. Cons: not on the beach; stairs to climb.
