Fodor's Review:

With its enormous and elegantly decorated rooms, secluded oceanfront property, and a staff that waits on guests hand and foot, this golf and spa resort defines opulence. Attention to detail is remarkable, right down to the silver service, china, and 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. During cocktail hour, view the ocean from the plush Conservatory bar, or from under a heavy blanket on an Adirondack chair on the lawn. The main restaurant, Navio ($$$-$$$$), is suitably decadent, with a kitchen that turns local fish and produce into dishes like butterfish with asparagus and cippolini onions, and hand-cut fettuccini with caramelized cauliflower, currants, toasted pine nuts, and shaved pecorino. Pros: Four-star service, total luxury, ocean views. Cons: Formal, not within walking distance of anything.
