Tres chic, this full-service resort consists of 75 West Indian

Guanahani is the Arawak name for San Salvador, the first island
discovered by Christopher Columbus. Set on a 16-acre peninsula
on the northeastern side of the island, the hotel offers two
tennis courts lit for night play (a tennis pro is also on hand
if you want to improve your game). Two freshwater pool and a
heated Jacuzzi. It's hard for pools to compete with Guanahani's
two beaches, however. Here guests can go snorkeling, sail a
Hobie cat, windsurf, or go deep sea fishing. One beach is located
on a quiet lagoon and the other at the edge of a coconut grove
facing the ocean. Complimentary continental breakfast is included
as well as round trip airport transfers, service and tax charges.
