Fodor's Expert Review Naviti Resort

The lobby looks like an oversize tropical living room and guests feel right at home in this large beachfront resort. Most families opt for the all-inclusive meal plan while twenty- to thirtysomethings are attracted to the "local spirits" package and its discount on cocktails. The hotel rooms are compact but come with a separate bathtub and shower and decent balcony/veranda space. All but the ground floor rooms overlook the newer of the two pools, with its swim-up bar, and the ocean beyond. Those seeking a little more privacy and space should opt for the more attractively furnished villas or suites with patio, or balcony and ocean view. A huge range of excursions and activities, including a modest 9-hole golf course, allows guests to be as active or laid-back as they like. Free shuttle service to the Warwick grants access to the sister hotel's facilities. The extensive and well-manicured grounds provide a great setting for weddings, the par 3, 9-hole golf course, and the Naviti Spa.
