Excellent Beach Hotels




 
 

5. Condado Vanderbilt Hotel
Named after the Condado district in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Frederick William Vanderbilt (the hotel’s original owner), the Preferred-affiliated Condado Vanderbilt Hotel has welcomed notable guests like Charles Lindberg, Bob Hope and former President Franklin D. Roosevelt since opening its doors in 1919.

 

6. Ladera Resort
Prompting guests to appreciate their magnificent surroundings, the 37 suites at St. Lucia’s adults-only Ladera Resort all boast an open wall – like a patio, minus the door – facing the dramatic Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. (Though this absent fourth wall takes luxury to the next level, don’t be surprised if you wind up sharing your room with a harmless lizard or two.)
