Frommer's Review

Note: The resort will be closing for renovations July 2008. Check their website for more information.

Maintained and operated by the exclusive Rosewood Chain, this sybaritic, isolated retreat has a celebrity-and-CEO crowd that can afford its rates. It occupies a 132-hectare (326-acre) offshore island which, once you're here, is idyllic. Ferryboats depart from the Antiguan "mainland" every hour for the 3km (2-mile) boat ride daily between 7am and midnight. With secluded white-sand beaches along a coastline protected by coral reefs, the grounds have been handsomely planted with loblolly and white cedar. Guests are coddled and pampered in a way that only Curtain Bluff or Carlisle Bay tops. Lodging choices include private studios within a Mediterranean-style complex, luxurious two- and three-bedroom villas, and several spacious private manor houses. Beds are luxurious, but only the bedrooms within the suites are air-conditioned.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars; golf arranged; 3 tennis courts; fitness center; snorkeling; Sunfish sailboats; water-skiing; windsurfing; bicycles; room service; babysitting

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
