This private paradise—a favorite for celebrities and other jet-setters—comes with all the trimmings you'd expect for the substantial price. Elaborate oceanfront villas border the island, and their wooden, Asian feel contrasts with the rather bland hillside terra-cotta-and-stucco building that houses the spacious suites. Suite and villa interiors are a minimalist yet sumptuous mix of cool-white interiors, Indonesian furnishings, and four-poster beds. Expect sorbet, cold bottled water, and cold, lemon-scented refreshment towels around the beach and pool. Service is unmatched in its ability to anticipate and meet your needs. The villas are the ultimate indulgence, with heated lap pools, hot tubs, and butler service. The resort's main pool is surrounded by a round, thatched bar and the Asian-inspired Lotus restaurant. The giant Como Shambhala Spa takes destination spas to a whole new level with Indonesian and Balinese therapists. Car transfers to and from the airport and one round-trip by boat to and from the island are included; guests will be met at the airport by a Parrot Cay representative. Pros: impeccable service; gorgeous secluded beach; the spa is considered one of the best in the world. Cons: only two restaurants on the entire island; it can be costly to get back and forth to Provo for excursions as there is only private ferry service.

Goes without saying how beatiful the beaches are. The resort is a little older. rooms could use an upgrading but not anything drastic. Food is mediocre. something they need to work on. Plenty of celebs though. Thats fun
