Frommer's Review

One of the island's fullest-service resorts, this large luxury hotel sits on 11 acres overlooking South Beach in Katama. Guests can walk down a 250-yard path to get to the private beach. A 3-mile bike path links the inn to Edgartown, but the inn also runs a shuttle service that can pick up inn guests at the Edgartown ferry. Most rooms are two- and three-bedroom suites with kitchenettes, and there is one deluxe cottage with a four-person hot tub and a roof deck. Some have ocean views and conveniences like a washer/dryer. Many have private decks or patios. The rooms are decorated in a cozy beach-house style. The inn offers a number of amenities at an extra charge, including rental of beach cabanas, bicycle delivery service, grocery delivery service, and Wednesday-evening family-style clambakes in season. There are also children's programs. With outdoor Ping-Pong, foosball, the pool, and the putting green, there are many on-site amusements for kids. For active guests, the inn staff arranges "island adventure day trips" that include fishing, kayaking, and beach-buggy rides for an extra charge. The inn's fine-dining restaurant, Lure, is top-notch. There's also a general store on-site for snacks and sundries. In high season, late June to early September, there is a 3-night minimum stay during the week and a 4-night minimum on weekends. Several wheelchair-accessible rooms are available.

Facilities:Fine-dining restaurant; outdoor heated pool; putting green; tennis courts with pro (6 Har-Tru, 4 all-weather); fitness room; children's program (late June to early Sept complimentary 9am-noon; fee in evenings for 3-year-olds through preteens); concierge; laundry facilities.
