A canvas hut for your next holiday in the tropics
A recent Caribbean vacation -- I went there in January -- was spent at probably the most unusual resort in that area called Maho Bay Camps, on the little island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Its rooms are small, canvas-sided bungalows on wooden platforms perched along a steep hill sloping down to a ravishing white sand beach, and with a view that is the full equivalent of anything you'd find in the most luxurious locales. You pay a maximum winter price of $130 a night for two people ($80 in off-season), you have $17 dinners on an open air pavilion, and you hob-nob with the finest group of intellectually curious people in all the nation. If you're interested, go to www.maho.org or phone 800/392-9004.Add a comment about this post.
