Juicy Tidbits National Geographic Traveler says..."A 140-acre isthmus resort with water galore: calm lagoon, Caribbean bay, pounding Atlantic. Ocean waves do the entertaining just beyond the simply furnished suites (some TV-free) with private verandas, big windows, outdoor garden showers. Captain a Boston Whaler for island hopping, bike on trails lined by wild nutmeg and frangipani. Island-born chef infuses the menu with flavorsome Caribbean attitude. 31 suites." -From National Geographic Traveler
Conde Nast Traveler says..."Our experience surpassed our wildest expectations." This stone resort accessible only by boat or helicopter means "no hustle and bustle." At the hilltop restaurant, the "food and desserts are to die for!" "Service is impeccable." From rooms in white and turquoise, with bright Caribbean artwork and furnished verandas, the views of the Atlantic are "simply breathtaking." " -From Conde Nast Traveler

A perfect sybaritic escape-secluded, peaceful, attentive service, sophisticated, and luxurious. Its graceful domes etch silhouettes against the deep-blue Anguillan sky. Moorish arches frame views of palms and bougainvillea, frangipani, and jasmine. A veritable paradise set on 179acres. Children of all ages are welcome year round, with no additional fees outside Dec 18th 2009 thru Jan 4th, 2010, and Dec 18th 2010 thru Jan 4th 2011.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says..."Located on spectacular Maundays Bay, this 179-acre Caribbean resort with its striking Moorish architecture has long been a favorite of everyone from honeymooners to Hollywood A-listers. A recent renovation freshened public spaces as well as the interiors of its 97 rooms and suites and six private pool villasaknown for their Morocco-meets-West Indies dAcor (dark-wood louvered windows and white-tiled floors paired with colorful silk pillows and arched doorways). The lodgings are spread along two miles of sugary white-sand beach, as are the three restaurants, five cabana bars (where servers dole out free snacks), a spectacular domed open-air lounge, a wine bar, and a pool." -From Travel + Leisure

From your lounge chair perched on the white sand- facing the crystal clear waters of Saint-Jean Bay- you have only to climb a wooden staircase polished by the elements to reach the Eden Rock - St Barths. Located on a rocky headland overlooking the coral reefs- this little village of villas with rust-red roofs stands on the foundations of the former property of the aviator and adventurer Remy de Haenen- the first pilot to land a plane on the island back in the 1940s. Jane and David Matthews have created the modern and eclectic interiors of the themed suites including the Howard Hughes- the Fregate with its private Jacuzzi- and the Greta Garbo. An original and elegant address- perfect for soaking up the sun of St. Barts- lazing on the beach and exploring the dazzling undersea world.
Juicy Tidbits Travel + Leisure says..."Whether it's the rocky promontory of its setting, above the sunbathers on St. Jean beach, or the likelihood of rubbing elbows with Cameron Diaz or Matt Dillon in the Sand Bar, Eden Rock is a perennial epicenter of style on celebrity-studded St. Bart's. The 34 rooms are each different and can include such idiosyncratic details as a rock wall or a Philippe Starck-designed bathroom. The Harbour House and De Haenen suites, which float above the bay, have the best views. With its two bedrooms, the beachfront Villa Nina is rife with perks: an art gallery with a rotating selection of works on display, a private pool, and even a Mini Cooper to take for a spin. Dine at On the Rocks, the open-air French hotel restaurant overlooking the bay." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."On a rocky promontory, this husband-and-wife-owned property has rooms decorated with antiques, hardwoods, and original artwork, some by the owner. "They are bright and fit the location perfectly." On the Rocks uses local fish in its French-influenced dishes such as wok-fried fillet of mahimahi; try the homemade yogurt for breakfast at Sand Bar.

The resort is stretched across 24 acres on the southern coast of Kauai, with lush grounds that meander alongside the ocean, allowing for leisurely strolls. Rooms near the Anara Spaaone of the best on the islandsaare the farthest from the bustle of the large lobby area and its collection of squawking exotic birds. An adults-only pool flows into a lava-rock river pool, which segues into a 150-foot-long waterslide, which drops into the “activea (read: lots of kids) pool. Six restaurants offer something for every palate." -From Travel + LeisureNational Geographic Traveler says..."An oceanside marriage of grandeur and conscience. Hawaiiana galore: traditional arts, crafts, music, and luaus. Info in every guest room on the endangered monk seal. Serious recycling since 1995. 18,500 square feet (1,718 square meters) of solar panels to be installed this year." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."On a former sugarcane plantation, this low-rise is classic Hawaiian with its open-air design "filled with happiness, peace, and joy." Room renovations, begun in April 2010, have added stone tile entryways, island petroglyph artwork, and recycled yarn carpeting. "Activities for every taste include horseback riding, snorkeling, and hiking. Dondero's serves Italian cuisine, while Yum Cha dishes up pan-Asian. "The service is very attentive." -From Conde Nast Traveler
