Fodor's Expert Review Costa d'Este Beach Resort

This stylish, contemporary boutique hotel in the heart of Vero's bustling Ocean Drive area has a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the ocean and a distinctly Miami Beach vibe—just like its famous owners, singer Gloria Estefan and producer Emilio Estefan. The architecture features geometrical designs, apparent as you arrive at the impressive porte cochere entrance. Bold graphic prints decorate the common areas along with pieces of unique seagrass furniture woven in punchy, modern shapes. Rooms are sleek and filled with custom-made furnishings, teak paneling, and porthole windows. You get the feeling of being on a modern yacht with broad ocean views. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The Wave, the resort's restaurant, has become a favorite of locals, who come for the fresh seasonal menu and a DJ who spins on weekend nights.
