Frommer's Review

This ultradeluxe beachfront retreat is Nantucket's only Relais & Châteaux property. The inn is at the tip of a wildlife sanctuary and is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Nantucket Bay. All the rooms -- some are on the small side -- have pine armoires, Audubon prints, handsome fabrics, and an array of antique accessories. Extras include Egyptian cotton bathrobes and bottled water. Additional perks include a personalized set of engraved notecards. It's fun and romantic to order breakfast in your room here; the steward sets it up with a snowy white tablecloth and fine china. There is complimentary van service in to town (12 trips daily).

Facilities:
Fine-dining restaurant, TOPPER'S at The Wauwinet; 2 clay tennis courts with pro shop and teaching pro; spa; rowboats, sailboats, sea kayaks on loan; mountain bikes on loan; croquet lawn; bocce ball on loan; concierge; room service

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.
