"Tropical-themed suites" at this resort start at 840 square feet and include balconies and sofa beds; oceanfront villas add private courtyards with plunge pools. Nick's Fishmarket is "worth the splurge" for the seafood menu and the choice of 2,000 bottles of wine. Staff "get to know guests quickly." Kids should take the "amazing complimentary snorkeling class." "Get up early, pick up breakfast at Caffe Ciao Deli, and secure a spot by one of the pools."
