Amenity highlights: The Atlantic Ocean beach offers sunbathing and sports opportunities. Coral along the shore makes wading difficult, so the resort provides a pier from which to enter the water and an offshore raft for diving and sunning. The resort has two swimming pools, one especially for children, and a 12-person spa tub. Expansive sundecks are furnished with padded lounge chairs.

Insider tip: The beach has lots of blue umbrellas and folding chairs, and there are two hammocks, each roomy enough for two. Both are situated in shady areas and much sought after for afternoon snoozes. First come, first served.
