A pool-and-spa resort for adults with a wellness hall of real substance, as long as you budget for the circuit and drive to the beaches. Check availability for the Double Ocean View. A self-contained adults-only resort where the indoor spa and four heated pools are the holiday, with six restaurants on the all-inclusive. The spa costs extra and the beaches are a drive away.
It has indoor and outdoor pools. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
A hotel where Manrique's gardens are the setting for the whole week, not a day trip. Check availability for a Premium Ocean Front room. A big adults-only resort that is also a piece of island heritage: Manrique's gardens, murals and lagoon pool are the setting, and all-inclusive keeps you inside them. Quiet, self-contained and priced as a splurge.
It has an outdoor pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
