Fodor's Expert Review Tranquility Bay Beach Retreat

With its thatched huts, terra cotta tile roofs, and lush beach landscapes, this resort feels like a true tropical getaway. The owners would agree—they escaped from Vancouver, Canada, to run the accommodations. A wonderland of colorful wildlife populate the natural areas, including toucans, parrots, and monkeys. Resort guides arrange off-the-beaten-path adventures, and all sorts of watersports are available. A day of activity makes the roomy, comfortable cabanas all the more inviting.
