Feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale at this over-the-top lodge, with its exquisite villas boasting majestic valley views, fireplaces, private decks with Jacuzzis, and huge bathrooms with waterfall showers. Guests get free access to the La Paz Waterfall Gardens next door – an animal-rescue center with hiking trails, five giant waterfalls and a trout pond.
This highly imaginative setting, with its multiple pools and interactive animal experiences (toucan and hummingbird feeding), will have kids over the moon. Disappointingly, breakfast is not included in the pricey room rate (add an extra $20/12 for adult/child).
