Ginn Reunion Resort

Description:

• This luxury resort community is still in its early phases (with a completion date set for some 6 years into the future), but is more than worth seeking out. Currently, several different villas, a variety of vacation homes (both available for rent to visitors), and a luxury all-suite high-rise are open. Several of the spectacular villas feature a rather unique layout -- with bedrooms located on the ground level, and the main living area and additional bedrooms on the second level (making it less likely you'll have to drag your luggage up a flight of stairs). The villas' full kitchens have almost every gadget you could ever ask for, and the spacious bathrooms are loaded with upscale toiletries. Most villas have private patios or balconies; some of the vacation homes have their own private pools. Recent additions include the luxurious Reunion Grande, an extensive on-site water park (other resort pools are located throughout the property), a colonial-style spa, and a third championship golf course. There's also a comprehensive kids' program offering a variety of supervised activities. The downside: The property charges an exorbitantly high "gratuity" fee (though the staff is incredibly good).

  In room: A/C, TV/DVD w/pay movies, dataport, high-speed Internet access (fee), fully stocked kitchen, fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, washer/dryer, safe, CD player.
