Frommer's Review

Thanks to its construction around an abandoned sugar mill, this plantation-style inn evokes the aura of a long-gone way of life better than any of its competitors. East of Charlestown and north of Gingerland, at a cool and comfortable elevation of 240m (787 ft.), the Old Manor Hotel has an old-world grace, but because the Florida-based owners aren't always on the premises, it lacks the hands-on attention to detail that you'll get elsewhere on the island. The forested plot of land on which the hotel sits was granted to the Croney family in 1690 by the king of England. The estate thrived as a working sugar plantation until 1936. Beneficiary of many renovations (in the 1980s, much of this place was partially ruined), the hotel is cheerful and historical. Accommodations contain wide-plank floors of tropical hardwoods, reproduction furniture, and high ceilings. Only three of the units contain TVs -- but in light of the historic authenticity of the place, many of the guests actually prefer the silence.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; sauna; laundry 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.
