Features
What to expect: Sharing ownership and name with the international kitchenware company, the resort capitalizes the "A" (CuisinArt) to highlight its emphasis of food and cooking. It contains its own 18,000-square-foot hydroponic vegetable greenhouse and an orchard, provides cooking demonstrations, offers cooking classes, and features exceptional fare at its two restaurants. Densely planted, the resort's grounds include fields of decorative grasses, flowering hedges, palms and beach greenery. Large blue pots hold plants and flowers in and around buildings. Amenity highlights: The lobby frames a postcard vista. Looming in the foreground is a large swimming pool featuring an infinity edge surrounded by a terra-cotta tile sundeck, white umbrellas, and blue wrought-iron lounge chairs with butter-yellow cushions. Next comes a series of reflecting pools terraced down a gently sloping lawn and punctuated at the end by a broad white umbrella shading a beach bar. Beyond are the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the mountains of neighboring Saint Maarten/St. Martin. The beach is a two-mile stretch of sand fine as sugar and nearly as white rimming Rendezvous Bay. Lounge chairs and white umbrellas await sunbathers. Insider tip: Because plantings are laid out in a "ribbon" system winding through the resort's 20 acres, strolling is rewarded by encounters with dramatic and fragrant lanes and passages.
Santorini - The resort's main restaurant provides indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the pool and the Caribbean Sea beyond. Rattan chairs, white linens, and ceiling fans create a relaxed ambience. (Men are asked to wear collared shirts and long pants or dress shorts at dinner.) All guests have the option of a complimentary Continental breakfast served each morning on Santorini's terrace or in their rooms and can purchase other items from an ŕ la carte menu featuring West Indian choices such as salt fish with ackee and chicken hash in addition to American breakfast selections. Lunch offers vegetables and salads from the resort's hydroponic greenhouse.
Available nightly, the regular dinner menu includes choices such as caviar, tuna sashimi, lobster millefeuille, foie gras with candied papaya and quince glaze, lobster bisque, bouillabaise, mixed seafood grill, prime-grade steaks, and vegetarian sampler as well as fixed-price and tasting menus on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Monday night's Italian menu features choices such as lobster lasagna and truffled risotto primavera. On Tuesday nights there's a Caribbean barbecue buffet. Spanish night on Thursdays features tapas like wild boar and duck sausages, peppered shrimp, and goose rillettes and a main-course paella with lobster, chorizo, and lamb chops. Saturday nights feature French cuisine, with tasting-menu items such as smoked-duck salad with foie gras terrine, steamed Dover sole with shallot-wine butter, ribeye steak with truffle sauce, three-cheese terrine, and black currant-mascarpone parfait. Café Mediterraneo - Lined with plants and flowers in large blue pots, this spot under a white canopy next to the pool serves lunches featuring brick-oven pizza, salads such as tandoori chicken and nicoise, vegetarian choices from the hydroponic greenhouse, pastas, Mediterranean-style stir-fry dishes, sandwiches such as grilled veal and grilled lamb, and beef and turkey burgers. Azure Beach Bar - Flanked by terraced waterfalls, the bar serves tropical drinks under a broad white umbrella. Lobby Bar - Located next to the lobby's long, narrow fountain pool, this spot remains open late at night.

| This was a beautiful hotel no doubt however me and my boyfriend were a little disappointed concerning the food. It was good it just wasn't fabulous. We went to Capa du luca and had an amazing meal there one night. Dinners are expensive so be prepared!!
