This cluster of Spanish-style low-rise town houses occupies one of the most desirable stretches of beachfront. Midway between Hotel Riu and the One&Only Ocean Club, it's a short walk from the casino and a variety of sports and dining options. Accommodations are clustered within five groupings of red-roofed town houses, each with access to the resort's two swimming pools (one of which has a waterfall) and a simple snack bar. The hotel is usually full of Germans, Swiss, and Austrians, many of whom stay for several weeks. Guests can prepare their own meals because units have kitchens. Expect pastel colors, summery-looking furniture, and a private patio or veranda, plus king-size beds and floor-to-ceiling mirrored headboards, as well as average-size bathrooms with a tub and shower. The best units are the three-bedroom apartments, situated directly on the beach. This is a good bet for quieter families who want a more subdued, relaxed vacation, and to avoid the circus at Atlantis.
