Frommer's Review

This remote getaway lies on Cat Island's southwestern side, fronting a long beach and containing its own runway for charter flights and private planes, plus a 28-slip full-service marina that attracts yachters. This intimate resort is set near the village of Devil's Point, lying some 16km (10 miles) west of Columbus Point close to the ruins of two once-flourishing but now-abandoned plantations, Richman Hill and Newfield. Bedrooms, with either two queen-size beds or a king-size bed, are well-furnished and brightly decorated, each with a shower unit. Rooms have a patio for those late-afternoon toddies drunk while overlooking the sunset. If you bring the family, consider booking the two-bedroom house on the beach, which is separate from the other structures. The clubhouse, the rooms, and the main house are spacious and inviting. The resort serves full cooked-to-order breakfasts, sandwiches for lunch, and a buffet-style dinner, with the unannounced fare changing nightly. A one-tank dive costs US$60 (£30); a two-tank dive is US$80 (£40).

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; pool; tennis court; marina, watersports equipment/rentals; bike rentals; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
