Fodor's Expert Review Island Vista Resort

Nestled along the residential north end of the Strand, this resort has room to breathe, instead of being smack up against the clutter of hotels clogging the coastline farther south. There's plenty of room at every turn here, from the hotel-length oceanfront lanai, tiki bar, and cavernous indoor pools (complete with waterfalls) to the roomy guest suites and high-end Cypress Room restaurant.
