Q: What are the best tropical cabana resorts?

I want to stay in a cabana on stilts, with margarita in hand, in a tropical location. Got any ideas?

A:

There’s no better way to get away from it all than by spending a few nights in a hut, suspended above the warm, blue waters of paradise. (Unless you’re a sleep walker, or there's a tropical storm, that is). You can find dozens of resorts on stilts around the world, varying in comfort from rock-star luxury to spare like a monk’s cell. These are my choices. As for that margarita, you’re on your own.
