We love the warm and welcoming service, the hydrothermal experience in the spa, and the complimentary snorkel trips on Thursdays!
THE COVE ATLANTIS
Location: Bahamas

THE PALMS TURKS & CAICOS
Location: Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos
Best For: Families, couples
Know Before You Go: When you see a photo of The Palms’ stunning white-sand beach and crystal-clear turquoise water, it is probably not doing it justice. And though your well-appointed suite or the 25,000 square foot spa will fight for your attention, it’s hard to want to leave the beach.
THE RESORT AT PEDREGAL

Best For:Couples, honeymoons
Know Before You Go: From the moment you go through the private tunnel carved into a mountain and arrive at the property, you are in for a treat. Complimentary daily guacamole, adult-only pool with a swim-up bar, and a beautiful spa are just a few of the reasons we love this property!
