This terrific new hotel is a winner. The entrance leads you into a splendid, airy atrium that looks out on the vast pool and Doctor's Cave Beach beyond. Staff welcome you like a long-lost friend and there's an impressive inventory of perks, including a suspended plunge pool and an excellent restaurant. Splurge on an ocean-view room; cheapest rooms are nothing special.
