There's no direct beach access, but guests can walk to nearby Palm Beach (full of bustling restaurants, casinos and nightlife) or get in the car and head to a hidden beach recommended by the owners -- they know the local scoop, so guests should be sure to ask their advice.

"The romantic air that reigns throughout the hotel is enhanced by the private, air-conditioned casitas that are anything but rustic. Accommodations feature full kitchens and living rooms."
