"A 555-room resort in Oranjestad that compensates for its busy downtown location with ownership of a 40-acre private island reachable by an eight-minute water taxi, where pink flamingos and iguanas roam and guests can choose between an adults-only beach and a family beach. On-island amenities include a beachside bar and grill serving burgers and wood-fired pizzas, an open-air spa, and extensive water-sports (snorkeling, scuba diving, ocean kayaking); back at the main resort guests can enjoy a steakhouse and a casino." - AFAR Editors
