Fodor's Expert Review WaterColor Inn

Nature meets seaside chic at The WaterColor Inn, the crown jewel of the area's latest—and largest—planned communities. Dune-level bungalows have private courtyards with outdoor showers, while upper rooms have huge balconies and walk-in showers with windows overlooking the Gulf so you can see the sea while you scrub. Standard rooms come with a king-size bed and a queen sleeper sofa, but consider one of the three rotunda rooms for something larger and more spectacular. Included in your room rate is one hour of canoeing, one hour of tennis, and bicycle use.
