Frommer's Review

One of the island's most full-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. Most rooms are two- and three-bedroom suites with kitchenettes. 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. With giant chess pieces, 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 day trips that include fishing, kayaking, and beach-buggy rides. The inn's fine-dining restaurant, Lure, is top-notch. Several wheelchair-accessible rooms are available.

Facilities: Fine-dining restaurant; 2 outdoor heated pool s; putting green; tennis courts with pro (6 Har-Tru, 4 all-weather); fitness center; children's program (early June to early September complimentary 9am-noon; fee in evenings for 3-year-olds through preteens); concierge; laundry facilities; complimentary shuttle service to Edgartown.

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.
