Vacations To Go
Dear Mrs. Dupa,

Many of the tropical resorts we offer feature unique amenities or services that set them apart from the rest. This week, I'd like to highlight a few of those properties. For details and photos, or to shop for a great rate, click the resort name.

Love the thought of lounging by your own private pool? The following resorts offer rooms that come with a private pool.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba (Mexico)
Calabash Cove (St. Lucia)
Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Puerto Rico)
Hermitage Bay (Antigua)
Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta (Mexico)
Sanctuary Cap Cana (Dominican Republic)
Sandals Royal Curacao
Sugar Beach (St. Lucia)
Viceroy Riviera Maya (Mexico)
Zoetry Agua Punta Cana (Dominican Republic)

Overwater bungalows generally offer direct access to the ocean via a ladder. Some also feature glass floor panels. You can find these tempting options at the following properties.

El Dorado Maroma (Mexico)
Rosewood Mayakoba (Mexico)
Royalton Antigua
Sandals Grande St. Lucian

On-site water parks add to the fun at the hotels below.

All Ritmo Cancun (Mexico)
Atlantis Paradise Island (Bahamas)
Beaches Turks & Caicos
Coconut Bay (St. Lucia)
Dreams Playa Mujeres (Mexico)

And these hotels have kid-sized water parks designed specifically for younger guests.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace (Dominican Republic)
Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta (Mexico)
Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo (Mexico)
Riu hotels (Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Mexico)
Royalton Splash Punta Cana (Dominican Republic)

Below are some additional hotel features you might find appealing:

Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres hosts the on-site Rafa Nadal Tennis Center. It provides instruction for all ages through a variety of programs, plus eight clay tennis courts, a gym and a bar and cafeteria with TVs showing tennis matches and other sports. Guests at neighboring sister resort TRS Coral Hotel can also use the facility.

Planet Hollywood resorts in Costa Rica and Mexico offer a wide range of fitness classes and activities as part of their "PHit" philosophy, from sunrise yoga, TRX training and kickboxing to boot camps, ab workouts and a beach obstacle course.

Guests can swim in a cenote -- a natural underground spring -- at Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Water Park, a Playa del Carmen property set amid jungles, mangroves, a sandy beach and its own impressive water park.

Moon Palace Cancun has a FlowRider surfing simulator among its amenities.

Hard Rock Hotels in Mexico and the Dominican Republic offer The Sound of Your Stay. It's a free program of musical amenities: You can borrow a Fender guitar along with a pocket amp and headphones (in-room video lessons are available), or turn your room into your own private club with DJ equipment.

Hoteles Xcaret properties in Mexico offer guests access to many of Grupo Xcaret's nature and water parks, which include a variety of activities such as swimming in underground rivers, snorkeling, zip-lining and more.

How about taking in the views from a private rooftop terrace? High-end rooms at Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres have rooftop terraces with Jacuzzis, while rooftop suites at ATELIER Playa Mujeres feature hydro plunge pools and pergola beds. The Excellence Collection resorts also have accommodations with private rooftop lounge areas and pools.

There's something missing from the rooms at Jade Mountain and Ladera Resort in St. Lucia: a fourth wall. The hillside accommodations are open to fresh breezes and ocean views, but they are situated in a way that ensures the privacy and safety of guests. All rooms at Ladera and most sanctuaries at Jade Mountain have private pools.

Tabacon Thermal Resort near the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica features natural, magma-heated hot springs pools with temperatures ranging from about 77 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Some have views of the volcano and rainforest.

The reef at Anse Chastanet in St. Lucia starts just 10 yards from the water's edge, offering snorkelers and divers an incredible array of marine life in 20 to 140 feet of calm, clear ocean. More than 150 species of fish have been counted here.
