Rialto Score 9+

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency: book this hotel direct at the VIP rate for benefits that can include priority room upgrades, hotel credits, and more.

After a recently completed makeover, Coral Sands looks as fresh and new as its loyal guests. The renovations added a series of new beachfront cottages to its collection of 38 island-chic rooms and 2 four-bedroom residences; bright colors and island motifs bring out brilliant, happy vibes. Other updates include a new-look restaurant and infinity-edge swimming pool with a cool second level. Take a long stroll along the iconic Pink Sank Beach; bring the kayaks and paddleboards or request a scuba diving and deep-sea fishing excursion, both easily arranged. The resort’s staff is renowned for its service.
