Overlooking miles of white-sand beach, this pretty, oceanfront resort is situated between Nichupte Lagoon and the Caribbean Ocean (easy public-bus access to shopping, dining, and nightclubs).
Guestrooms offer views of the Caribbean's multi-hued waters, supply lots of space for barefoot relaxation, and include contemporary conveniences such as pay movies and modem Internet access.
Brightened by an $8-million renovation completed in late 2002, the family-friendly resort includes a tropical-garden pool complex, plenty of thatched-roof beach palapas for snoozing in the shade, and an open-air atrium garden.
