Our take

Who it suits

Step from your villa straight onto the sand.

No road to cross, no parking lot between you and the Gulf: the West End beach starts where the resort ends. Swim in the infinity pool, cook dinner in your own kitchen, throw the beach towels in the villa's washer and end the day on the sand at sunset. Guests rate it 8.8 out of 10, with top marks for cleanliness and location. You don't need to be a club member: you book a villa like any hotel room.

Good for

  • Stepping straight onto the beach
  • Families who want a kitchen and space to spread out
  • A week of beach days
  • Doing laundry in your own villa

Skip if

  • You want restaurants within walking distance
  • Your dog is coming
  • You want to leave the car here during a cruise
