The 841-room Dana Beach is an three-pearl all-inclusive amid acres of manicured gardens, a 15-minute drive from the airport. There's a private beach complete with bar service, loungers, and umbrellas, and impressive grounds that include three huge pools, 10 bars, and a small water park for kids. Its five restaurants get great reviews, and the spa offers massages, a sauna, whirlpool, and a small fitness center. Rooms, however, are disappointing for a property that markets itself as a luxury resort. All units have flat-screen TVs, but decor is bland and dated, a quality that defines much of the resort. Those looking for something more elegant may want to compare rates at the Baron Palace, which has similar amenities but better rooms and a more upscale finish.
