Where to Stay
Where to stay in each destination we cover, compared area by area: beach access, transfers, whether you will walk or drive, and who each area suits. The guides cover Grand Cayman, Punta Cana, Casa de Campo, Antigua and Jumby Bay, St Barts, Zermatt, Verbier, Tulum and its quiet bays, Los Cabos and Punta Mita.
Several guides compare kinds of stay rather than places: hotels against villas in Punta Mita, catered chalets in Verbier, staffed villas with private chefs in Tulum, and the new design villas in Tulum's town and jungle. Where the publisher has an ownership interest in a rental business, the guide says so beside the link.
