Chef Neff's Getaway & Heron's Nest ReviewHarbour Island's most respected chef, a gastronomic genius originally from Ohio -- with a resume that includes catering for Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York -- rents a duet of well-decorated rooms within her private home. Susan Neff, once the full-time chef at Coral Sands and now semi-retired, offers good value within her neat-as-a-pin private villa, a short walk from Romora Bay Resort near the island's southern end. Surrounded by lush landscaping and flowering shrubs, the house, rebuilt to her specifications in 1999, boasts a panoramic cupola, comfortable beds, private bathrooms, and the benefit of Susan's years of experience as a nurse, hospice counselor, and professional chef. Though it lacks the hands-on amenities of a deluxe hotel, many guests return year after year, drawn by rates significantly lower than what's charged for comparable accommodations at any of the island resorts. Each unit has a very small private patio. February sojourns are usually booked a full year in advance, so plan ahead. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

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.
