Sands At Grace Bay

Amenity highlights: A freeform pool and a children's pool are situated above the beach. Twin 80-foot channels meandering through dense gardens connect two freeform pools in a courtyard that also contains a 12-person spa tub. In a coconut grove, hammocks provide a restful retreat.

Insider tip: JoJo the Friendly Dolphin, as he’s known, turns up off the beach now and then to play with guests. He has become a national treasure. Staff members ring a bell when JoJo appears.
