Blending right into a bounty-like beach, the Riu Palace Tropical Bay most certainly lives up to its name. Stretching right along an exotic slice of shell-coloured sands, this hotel can't fail to make your Caribbean dreams come true. The good looks continue in the grounds, with lush landscaped gardens and views out over the captivating countryside. Built in an elegant colonial style, when it comes to facilities here � everything was thought of. There are the five restaurants, serving up a medley of Japanese and Italian delicacies, as well as fusion food, grill, steakhouse and main buffet options. Something else to shout about are the freeform pools, which look like they've been lifted from a Roman spa. Flanked by comfy sunbeds and a whirlpool bath, it's tempting to devote all your time to them. But the beach isn't something you can easily ignore. Peppered with crowds of nodding palm trees which provide brilliant shade - the sands melt into shallow turquoise waters. If you're more the get-up-and-go type, you're in for a treat here. There's a fully-equipped gym and sauna and volleyball and tennis courts. Plus down by the Caribbean you can get to grips with windsurfing and scuba diving. With all this at your fingertips, the Riu Palace Tropical Bay is truly a piece of paradise.
