With that being said trying to plan a wedding anniversary for my wife and I (couple in our mid 50s). Here is what is important to us, hoping for some advice from those who have visited:

1) Luxurious but not a pretentious stuffy resort
2) More geared towards adults or at least ability to avoid hordes of small children
3) Must have great air-conditioning in all areas of villa!
4) Less mosquitoes and less windy
5) Good variety of activities and restaurants (we prefer more casual restaurants with great food and service)
6) access to great snorkeling a plus

As an aside we stayed at the Brando last year and loved it.

Thanks in advance FTErs!
