Sandals Whitehouse (U.S. tel. 800/726-3257, starting at US$790) took about 15 years to complete at a total cost of around US$110 million--among the most expensive hotels ever built and nearly double the initial budget estimates. At the high end of Sandals' many properties island-wide, the four-star Sandals Whitehouse features premium drinks, a variety of dining options, and a beautiful cabaret bar. Rooms have all the amenities you could ask for. The property is stunningly grand, designed like a European village with a large central courtyard and enormous pool with a wet bar. The beach is one of the best in the area. Day passes (US$85, good until 6 p.m) and evening passes (US$80, 6 p.m\2 a.m.) are also available, and the hotel also offers a full-day pass (US$130, 10 a.m.\2 a.m.). There's a two-night minimum stay.
