Aventura
As magnificent as the 300 tropical acres beyond your balcony, the private realm of Turnberry Isle Resort & Club's guest rooms is a destination in itself. The connoisseurs at the Zagat Guide call these "The best rooms in the South." Here, every detail has been considered: the cut of every flower, the comfort of each brocade, the subtle scent of every soap. While luxuriating in the warmth of your whirlpool tub, you may choose to keep abreast of the outside world via your bath's color television or a selection of newspapers from around the globe. www.turnberryisle.com
