  As we get back into traveling, I thought I would put together a completely subjective list of my favorite beach and city hotels and resorts. My rankings are derived from a number of qualities, including price, room, service, ambiance, and amenities. I will update the list periodically, and thus far my only requirement is that I've stayed at least one night at the property. If you have an opinion about the above or would like to suggest a beach hotel for me to check out, I would love to hear from you!
