The chic boutique property has two 5-story buildings that house 91 guestrooms (including 32 suites and 4 penthouses). If you're in the market for the zenith of space and luxury, the oceanfront penthouse is the way to go. Boasting an oversized, wraparound balcony appointed with a Jacuzzi, state-of-the-art kitchen, three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, and Bose Surround Sound Home Theatre System, the penthouse comfortably accommodates up to 6 people –making it a great option for families, friends, and couples. Our one-bedroom, oceanfront suite is outfitted in island-inspired hues and décor with sleek, clean lines. Featuring an open floor plan, the bedroom can be closed off with a wall of sliding doors, and is appointed with a king-sized bed, deep bathtub, and flat screen television.

Seated beneath a large white umbrella on the deck overlooking the lulling turquoise sea, we sip on tropical cocktails and snack on chips and salsa until our entrees arrive. The tacos and chicken Caesar salad hit the spot. For dinner, we go to Stelle Restaurant, which overlooks the pool and offers diners seating at the bar, on their patio, and in the main dining room. The Green Chicken Curry with jasmine rice is delicious. (A complimentary breakfast buffet with a made- to-order omelet station, baked goods station, cheeses, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and hot dishes is served here daily.) The next day, we take up residence at the pool, and order lunch from our private island pod (which are $75 a day/$150 during peak season, and come with unlimited G water). Their attentive and friendly pool staff ensure that
