Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort

Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort is a large beachfront property on West Bay Road, with 113 rooms in 20 buildings, opened in 2008. The room types include garden-view and pool-view one- and two-bedroom units and premier queen studios. There are two outdoor pools and a children's pool, a swim-up bar, a poolside bar, a beach bar and beachfront dining. La Palapa serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a free breakfast buffet runs each morning from 7 to 10. The resort also has a full-service spa and a gym with cardio machines and free weights. Loungers, towels and umbrellas are provided on the beach, and kayaking, fishing, boat tours and snorkeling are listed. Guest scores are around 8.8 from more than 1,200 reviews.

Location and getting around: the resort is on West Bay Road, with the beach in front. The airport is about 34 minutes away by car, and a free 24-hour roundtrip airport shuttle is available on request, plus a free ferry terminal shuttle. From here you can walk the beach, and taxis and tours collect at the hotel for the reef, the gardens and the cruise ports.

The rooms and the feel: the layout is closer to a condo-style village than a single tower, with many one- and two-bedroom units that suit families and groups. It feels lively and sociable rather than secluded, with pools, bars and the beach all within a short stroll. The free breakfast buffet and shuttle are real value for a beachfront resort.

Good to know: check-in begins at 3 pm and check-out is before 11 am, and late check-out costs extra. The minimum check-in age is 18. Free secured, uncovered parking is available on site. Children are welcome, with free cribs on request and rollaway beds for a small fee, but pets are not allowed. The listing notes there are no elevators in the buildings, so ask for a ground-floor unit if stairs are a concern. Rooms vary by building, so check the category and view when you reserve.
