Frommer's Review

Next to La Cabana, this cheerful gem is a refreshing alternative to cookie-cutter uniformity. With a strong European accent and couples-friendly slant, the Amsterdam Manor features a quiet atmosphere and boutique size that's perfect for independent, curious travelers. The last low-rise resort on the road to the high-rises, the hotel's across a small road from a prime strip of Eagle Beach, a short walk to several restaurants, and conveniently located next to the bus stop for a quick jaunt into town or to the High-Rise area. Bird lovers enjoy the proximity to the Bubali Bird Sanctuary. The colors of the well-maintained three-floor complex are tropical, but the architecture is Dutch-gingerbread ornamentation, quaint gabled roofs, and whimsical turrets. Scattered around a series of intimate courtyards, the studios and one- and two-bedroom suites feature oak furniture from Holland and European cabinetry and fixtures, stylish wicker sofa sets, and beige tile floors. All units feature a balcony or terrace and a kitchen or kitchenette. The standard studios have shower-only bathrooms, but they're flooded with light and slightly larger than superior studios. On the other hand, the superior units have a Jacuzzi and an ocean view. The one- and two-bedroom suites have comfortable living rooms and complete kitchens. Suites on the top floor boast high barn ceilings. An environmental leader, the resort is Green Globe-certified. Cyberphiles love the free Internet access at a couple of outdoor terminals. Note that package deals booked through a tour operator are even cheaper than rooms booked online.

Facilities: 2 Restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; kiddie pool; 18-hole championship golf course nearby; extensive watersports equipment/rentals; concierge; tour/activities desk; car-rental desk; minimart; coin-op laundry; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.

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.
