Rustic furniture and beds swathed in mosquito netting lend themselves to the Old Florida decor at this 11-story beachfront resort, but there's nothing primitive about the hotel's amenities, including a luxury four-poster bed and a 42-inch plasma TV in every room, the Indonesian-inspired spa Indulge, and Azure restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean. Rooms are spacious and have views of either the ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway. Pros: Beachfront location, spa, friendly staff. Cons: Only restaurant is expensive, pool can be crowded, not all rooms have balconies.
