Turtle Inn

This is Francis Ford Coppola's fanciest resort in Central America. You get your choice of a one- or two-bedroom private villa here. Whichever one you choose, you're going to have plenty of space, including a large living room and a spacious bathroom that lets out onto a private interior rock garden, with its own open-air shower (the fixture is a piece of bamboo). Tons of beautiful woodwork, and a heavy dose of Asian decor and furnishings, dominate the rooms. All of the villas are set on the sand just steps from the beach, but not all have ocean views; hence the price variations. The Coppola Pavilion is a two-bedroom unit set a little off the main resort, right in front of the ocean, with its own pool and a working kitchen, wine cellar, and a steam bath/shower in each of the two bathrooms. There's a small spa on the grounds and a full-service dive operation across the street on the lagoon side of the peninsula. The resort's main restaurant, Mare, serves excellent Italian and international fare, and there are two additional restaurant options on-site.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; full-service dive shop; watersports equipment rental; complimentary bikes and kayaks; concierge; tour desk; limited room service (6am-9pm); babysitting; laundry service; free Wi-Fi
