It’s been several years, but we loved Villa Renaissance. It’s a smaller resort in a great location.

This is helpful, as ocean club West has been the top contender for the last few days as I've looked at options. Thanks!

Looking for recommendations in T&C for a small hotel, or family-sized condos or villas (we need 5 bedrooms total but this could be distributed across 2-3 separate units if not all in one house). Beachfront, with a pool, ideally a beach bar nearby for a pina colada, and something like $25K for all 5 rooms for a week in Feb 2026 (in other words, budgeting ~$800/night per bedroom). We prefer smaller hotels or apartment settings over a giant resort, and prefer to eat at restaurants (though appreciate kitchen facilities for occasional meals) but definitely do not want to have to get in the car to get a meal at a restaurant. I know people bring in chefs to cook in a villa but I can't see that being desirable for the crowd I'm planning for - though happy for firsthand experiences where a single chef worked out for a family of 10 ranging from toddlers to grandparents.
