ONE&ONLY; OCEAN CLUB, Paradise Island, Bahamas

By Jaclynsindia @siennacharles

The One&Only; hotel group is one of the most luxurious and service-oriented companies in the industry. I stayed at the Ocean Club for a few days in July 2009 after my wedding, and it was truly breathtaking.

From the moment you arrive at the gate, The Dune restaurant by Jean Georges, the popcorn and movie menu in your room, and the lobby bar impress its guests and make for a truly remarkable hidden getaway in the Bahamas. You can use the bikes to ride casually around the property, the pool is grand and amazing, and the beach is just perfect. The hotel was used to film the James Bond movie and was a private club prior. It still feels like a private club, but not stuffy at all.

This was my first and only hotel out of the collection but I plan on visiting them all.
