Fodor's Expert Review The Palms Resort and Spa

Widely considered one of the best spas in the Caribbean, the Palms Spa is an oasis of relaxation. In the main facility you will find a pedicure/manicure space, gym, boutique, and yoga and Pilates pavilion, as well as men's and women's steam rooms and saunas. Outdoors, white tented cabanas grace the edge of a beautiful reflection pool, its waters catching images of towering palms and flowering bougainvillea. However, you don't even have to leave your room; massages may be arranged so that you can enjoy the wonderful sea views right from your very own balcony. Guests are encouraged to indulge in one of the locally inspired signature treatments: a mother-of-pearl body exfoliation incorporating the queen conch shell, or the 90-minute Zareeba herbal cleansing and detox. Rest awhile and sip herbal tea or replenish with citrus-infused water before or after your treatment.
