Fodor's Review:

Guests come from New York and Italy to this adults-only oasis of calm. Perched on a beautiful headland, "Point Serene" enjoys balmy breezes and life-changing views from the infinity hot tub; the beach far below and pool are clothing optional. Spa treatments are inventive: roses and red wine promote moisturizing; carotene and honey contribute to a glowing tan; and the "Mayan Wrap" connects you herbally to the glowing god within. Shamans lead healing steam ceremonies on weekends; mud-and-music therapies are on the beach; and activities like horseback riding, tennis (three courts), and nonmotorized water sports at the adjacent Blue Bay hotel are included in the price. Additionally, rooms have lovely furnishings and decor, and shared or private terraces, some with fab beach views. Pros: Gorgeous views; complimentary horseback ride and mangrove cruise; weekly temazcal, or ritual steam ceremony. Cons: Isolated; limited menu; cobblestone walkways and hills make walking difficult for some folks.
