Hotel Information: Although some children arrive with their parents in summer, the resort caters primarily to couples, thus maintaining a quiet, restful ambience. The tidy Dutch Colonial-village atmosphere extends to paving-stone courtyards graced by terra-cotta pottery and neatly trimmed tropical plants identified by signs.

Amenity highlights: The Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort's frontage on Eagle Beach, rated one of the world's 10 best by Travel + Leisure, measures 100 by 35 yards and lies across a narrow street from resort buildings. A sundeck furnished with umbrella tables surrounds a 50-by-25-foot pool and a 10-foot-diameter children's pool. Use of mountain bikes, floats, and snorkeling gear is part of the All-Inclusive Plan. European Plan guests can rent this equipment.

Insider tip: Key Largo Casino is 0.5 miles away, but guests can cut walking distance in half by catching a golf-cart shuttle from the lobby of an adjacent resort.
