Treasure Beach
Jake's ResortWhat It Is: Thirty cottages surrounded by natural swamps and waterfalls in a fishing village in the underdeveloped south coast.
The Rooms: The 30 cottages encompass the feeling of the garden, sea, and sky and include Moroccan domes and arches. There are no in-room telephones or televisions. A two-bedroom ocean view cottage is ideal for families. If you want to go all out, request the Calabash Bay four-bedroom villa with a swimming pool.
Amenities: There is a saltwater swimming pool with a huge shallow end, a media room (games and a music library), a poolside bar, Driftwood Spa, and two restaurants. Wireless Internet access is available in main areas.
Activities: Take a tour of the Black River, the YS Falls (a seven-tiered waterfall with shallow swimming holes), or the Milk River via the Alligator Pond. You can also cycle, fish, and swim. Kids can also take mosaic classes.
Calabash Bay, from $95 for a double.
