Fodor's Expert Review Pierre Mundo Imperial

This boutique-style hotel was built by J. Paul Getty in 1958 as a personal retreat, and you can still get some semblance of millionaire-style accommodations here for much less money. The hotel provides the serenity and sophistication of a private hacienda, but with the first-class services and amenities of an international resort, including a meandering pool overlooking the ocean. You can stay in a room or suite in the tower building or in one of the ultraluxe villas or bungalows, which have private plunge pools. A shuttle runs frequently to the adjacent Princess, where you can use all facilities.
