Little Palm Island Resort & Spa
Little Torch Key, Florida
Our readers say: Guests are welcomed with tropical rum punch and their names on wooden plaques on their rooms at this "very private and isolated resort," accessible only by boat or seaplane. The crushed-seashell paths and the more than 250 Jamaican coconut palms make guests feel like they are "in the South Pacific." Housing four-poster beds and outdoor showers, renovated thatched-roof bungalows in British colonial decor lack phones, televisions, or clocks, making them "wonderful places to relax and reconnect." The "food is expensive but marvelous" at the restaurant, which serves French and pan-Latin dishes with the occasional wild card, hence Peking duck foie gras and yellowtail snapper seviche. "The staff are the best."
