Virgin Holidays View
The names of the plants and trees have a lovely tropical sound to them - breadfruit, jacaranda, frangipani, banana - and make up the lush, well-kept gardens which are home to colourful twittering birds. For lunch there is a wonderful menu available from the poolside tiki bar. There's numerous sports to try your hand at, tennis, boating, diving, fishing, snorkelling and visits to the brilliant Dolphin Research Center. You may fancy a visit to the bustling town of Key West, too which is only an hours drive away from the resort.
