    A stay at the Fairmont means floor-to-ceiling windows and a super-comfortable bed to sink into each night. Spend the day sunbathing by one of four pools or relaxing at the Well & Being Spa. The restaurant Caña by Juliana Gonzalez is our favorite of the five on offer. A nightcap at the Chandelier Bar is a must, set below a Czechoslovakian crystal centerpiece. Alternatively, try the Rum Bar, where cocktails are artfully crafted using the island’s national spirit.
