"An interesting fusion of Mayan and contemporary decor, this small, stylish place (which means "path to the sun") is set in a tropical garden steps from the beach."

"This massive Caribbean resort, which dates to 1982, may not be heaven on earth, but it does have white sand beach, a sea of shaded palapas, and an ocean of palm trees."
