Frommer's Review
If you don't mind staying on the quiet "other" side of the island, a 10-minute cab ride away from Duval Street, the Doubletree is an excellent choice, not to mention an excellent value. An ecologically conscious resort, the hotel has been renovated with eco-sensitive materials as well as an interior created to conserve energy, reduce waste, and preserve the area's natural resources. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with some looking onto the spacious pool area, which is surrounded by an unsightly empty lot of mangroves and marshes. The newest addition is a welcome one -- a Beach Club located off property at Smathers Beach, where the hotel has established a hut with chairs, towels, and umbrellas. Watersports are available here, as is a free shuttle to transport guests back and forth. The hotel's restaurant is very good -- but for excitement, look elsewhere.
