At La Fabulosa the pool runs toward the Caribbean between two rows of royal palms, the sea right there with the 8th hole of Teeth of the Dog past the property. Four bedrooms sleep eight in an oceanfront Costa Verde villa, with an included cook handling all the meals. The fit: a multi-generation family of eight who came for the sea at the door, a friend group built around the long dining table and the palapa, or two couples on a long weekend who chose oceanfront over inland golf.

Mornings start on the colonnaded terrace, the sea past the pool. The infinity pool runs to the horizon between two rows of royal palms. The sunken jacuzzi sits in its own terracotta surround in the garden. The thatched palapa stands a few steps off the pool. The private gym is set up for the morning workout. By sundown the family settles between the formal dining room — twelve seats under a coffered ceiling — and the alfresco pavilion under the palms.
