Frommer's Review

The owners of this intimate hotel were determined to outclass their competitors, so they turned to celebrity architect Ann Hodges, the creative force behind the gorgeous decor in many of the much more expensive Island Outpost properties. A narrow meandering path stretches from the coastal boulevard to the white-sand beach, where watersports await. Along the way is a collection of neo-Creole, clapboard-sided buildings that drip with elaborate gingerbread and cove moldings, each inspired by an idealized vision of vernacular Jamaican colonial architecture. The buildings are painted in a variety of peacock hues, highlighting their architectural features. Inside, concrete floors keep the spacious interiors cool. Each unit has a vaguely Victorian feel, with comfortable furnishings. There's a beachfront bar and grill.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
