"The 11 acres of tropical gardens set the scene for this idyllic resort , located on a stretch of the region’s most alluring coastline . The extensive grounds mean that the resort retains an air of exclusivity. The towering, light-flooded lobby has huge mirrors and artistic flourishes that elevate the place above its peers. The pool areas and the spa were the most welcome renovations as the resort reopened; both pools are heated, have ample loungers and cabanas, and enjoy shade from the tropical foliage. The luxe Arum Spa has a full complement of massages and beauty treatments and there’s a 24-hour fitness center, bike rentals, and an onsite market for incidentals. With the beach just a couple of minutes away by foot, guests can easily spend their whole vacation without leaving the premises." - Paul Oswell
