The sister resort to the fabulously stylish Casa Colonial that opened late last year promises to be every bit as glamorous when it re-opens in December 2005, following a multi-million-dollar renovation.

Victoria Golf & Beach Resort is located in the sprawling Playa Dorada complex, with access to a stunning 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course and 13 miles of gorgeous sandy beach.

Guests also have access to the luxurious Bagua spa next door – reason enough alone to check in here – and the colonial-chic piano lounge bar with infinite views of the gold course.

A free honeymoon package makes this a top choice for newly-weds.
