An alternative to the chic boutique hotels along the bay is the freshly revamped Divan Palmira. The waterfront resort sits amidst manicured lawns at the center of which is a large swimming pool spitting forth torrents of water through the mouths of dolphin statues. Tile floors give the already largish guest rooms an airy feel, and all rooms, equipped with ceiling fans, enjoy either a garden or garden/pool view. The recently renovated bathrooms are befitting of any brand name luxury resort, with large tubs, fresh tile, and ample counter space. The hotel offers a range of services, from bay-front watersports (spewing gasoline fumes onto the beach, unfortunately), to a massage and salon, and its very own Divan Patisserie franchise located in a two-story stone house right on the beach. The whole beach and teak jetty get romantically torchlit at night.
