Northwest Point
With its open, distinctly Asian, architectural style (naturally-finished hardwoods, and reflecting pools all around), and half of its staff Filipino, you could easily forget this resort was in the Caribbean. For the actively inclined, there are tennis courts, diving, and a few boats you can slide off the sand, although this is essentially a place for doing little but hiding from the world for a time, and being looked after by people who, you can tell, were not taught to smile, but were born knowing how to do it. The physical aspect of the resort takes a bit of getting used to. None of the 40 air-conditioned guest pavilions, each with three glass walls that all but the most enthusiastic exhibitionists will want to pull the blinds on before making use of their free-standing bathtub, sit directly on the beach. Some are set back from the jagged coral ironshore along short paths that often lead to hidden, one-couple-sized patches of sand, and some, as the Aman literature so positively describes it, are "nestled in the vegetation". This being the tropics, that of course means you should arm yourself with insect repellant, but it's only really an issue June through October.
