Kanantik

Except for the purchase of a bottle of wine or some top-shelf liquor, little falls outside the all-inclusive price you pay at this swank resort. That includes more than you’ll get at other similar resorts like all tours, scuba diving and dive equipment, and fishing gear. The rooms are backed by some 1300 acres of jungle. All are handsome hexagonal, thatch-roof cabins, set either right in front of the ocean or slightly back in flowering gardens. Each is capacious and features sapodilla wood floors, driftwood beds, a walk-in closet, and showers built of smooth river stones. The owner is Italian, so there’s usually an excellent chef on hand serving a mix of local, Italian, and other international cuisine in the large, high-pitched dining room. Note: It is possible to bypass the all-inclusive plan, which may make sense if you don’t plan on doing serious diving or fishing, or eating three meals a day.
