Fodor's Expert Review Cofresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort

Marketed to couples as well as families, the high-volume, contemporary-styled former Sun Village has wisely reserved 18 primo spa suites for adults only. The newer buildings with ocean views and junior suites are other good upgrades; there are also 60 handsome residences for long-term rentals. You will enjoy the Yin-Yang Spa—and you'll probably need a deep-tissue massage if you partake in a fraction of the available activities. This resort has always enjoyed wedding and conference business; there's also an active children's club and a teen program. At Sunday's gala beach party, when chefs grill lobster, shrimp, and steak and prepare global specialties, international brand liquor is poured. Caribbean dancers perform, and a high-energy band will have you dancing in the sand—at least until the fireworks cry out. Half the hotel's occupants are usually time-share members; salespeople can be relentless.
