What to Look for in a Beach Resort

Facilities
Pool, spa, gym, restaurants, and kids club. More facilities = higher price but better value for longer stays.
Location
Remote resorts offer privacy and tranquility. Town-based resorts provide easy access to dining and nightlife.
Season & Weather
Consider stinger season (Nov-May) in tropical north. Southern beaches are best Sep-Apr.
