  • Excellent romance and overwater-bungalow fit.

Pros — Moon Palace Jamaica

  • Good fit for families with kids and teens.

Cons — Four Seasons Bora Bora

  • Very high pricing makes value sensitive to room category and dining choices.

  • Food and service feedback is more mixed than the best family resorts.
