Breathtaking views beckon beyond the natural aesthetics of 157 sand-sational rooms, as Whatever/Whenever® completes a fantasy island life filled with the signature W bed, fully wired technology, fabulous in-room fun and the delightful Munchie Box.

I know it's hard work but as a wedding planner, I have to do constant research and the W was high on my research list. My husband, 13 year old daughter, niece and I all visited the W for 2 days and were very impressed! The beaches (there are 2) are clear and blue. They are calm enough not to worry about the kids, but small waves rolled in constantly which the girls loved. The hotel offers large inner tubes which can be used at the beach or pool and we all loved those. The beaches are also great for snorkeling. If you are a guest you have access to complimentary masks and fins. The pool is not only beautiful it is relaxing and a great place to have a mojito and lunch. When evening approached we played pool, had a wonderful dinner and sat by the fire pit while we listened to music. The girls were exhausted from the days events and were in bed sleeping by 10pm... gotta love that. Overall I must rate this hotel a 5 out of 5. It hits all the right notes - beauty, activities, peaceful, good service and clean! A must for any traveler!
