lush grounds include towering cacti, blooming bougainvillea, and a fish-
stocked lagoon. Camp Hyatt occupies kids three to 12 years of age with
cooking lessons, storytelling, and outdoor activities.

Humming activity surrounds this
newly renovated resort catering to
tour groups that book all-inclusive
packages. Many guests never leave
the property. They come for mind-
less sun, fun, and booze, and Allegro
gives them all they can handle.
Rooms are nothing special, the bath-
rooms are small, and balconies are
narrow. Ask for a ground floor room
with a terrace, if you want more
space. There's something going on at all times in the public areas, so sin-
gles, newlyweds, and families are never bored. The all-inclusive deal is
optional, so book only a room if you plan to explore the island and sample a
variety of restaurants.

Something about the Radisson gives guests a sense of spaciousness, even
though it's located in the midst of busy Palm Beach and usually fully
booked with vacationers. Its 14-acre grounds are set back quite a distance
from the white sand and sheltered from the outside world by gardens, Koi-
stocked lagoons, waterfalls, and two large free-form swimming pools.
Small to average-sized rooms are beautifully decorated in colonial-
Caribbean style with louvered shutters and mahogany four-poster beds.
