For an exuberant, join-the-fun experience, this is the place. The elegant joie de vivre extends extends from the oceanside fountain to the million-dollar artwork to the guest rooms decked out in Italian marble. But it’s not all highbrow. The resort, part of the Hilton’s Waldorf Astoria line, boasts elaborate water-world wonders: an awesome series of nine interconnected pools with swim-through grottoes and towering waterslides.
The $40 resort fee includes wi-fi, yoga classes, scuba clinics, and art and garden tours. Parking is valet only, and an extra $40 per day.
