This thread is exciting me! We're splitting our stay for the first time this year and Xtabi looks like it's going to be amazing for us.

OK, everyone, we have until Tuesday night to finish the voting, then I will compute the final results ...

Some quick analysis:

-- Of the 17 to make the list, 10 are beach properties and seven are Cliffs properties -- but only one beach property made the top six.

-- The fact Seastar Inn is at No. 2 despite being about a half-mile from the shore is a testament to everything else that's endearing about the hotel -- service, food, and of course the niche of hosting Saturday night parties.

-- Also, very few expensive hotels in the top ten -- mostly three-star properties. We boardies do like our bargains! And, alas, only ONE all-inclusive among the top 17.

Oh, and finally, Clarity and hubbyman's only four hotels they've ever stayed at are the top three plus the top AI -- these two know what they're doing.
