"Boasting a glorious private beach, stellar dining, and unobstructed views of the open sea, this resort is especially family-friendly with the Sandcastle Kids' Club, two dedicated pools plus outdoor and indoor lap pools, and an extensive Athletic Club. Rooms are decorated in classic neutrals accented with gold and turquoise and feature deep bathtubs worth lingering in. Dining highlights include faultless Thai at Sontaya, an evening beach vibe with sushi at Buddha Bar, and sprawling breakfasts or brunches at Olea (served until 1 p.m.), while the Iridium spa is notable for a signature four-hands massage that combines Balinese, Swedish, Lomi-Lomi, and Thai techniques with aromatherapy." - Ann Marie McQueen, CNT Editors
