Frommer's Review
This 720-hectare (1,779-acre) tropical island is solely dedicated to Peter Island Resort guests and to yacht owners who moor their crafts here. The island's tropical gardens and hillside are bordered by five gorgeous private beaches, including Deadman's Beach (in spite of its name, it's often voted one of the world's most romantic beaches).
The resort contains 32 rooms facing Sprat Bay and Sir Francis Drake Channel, and 20 larger rooms on Deadman's Bay Beach. There are also several (less desirable) garden-view rooms. Designed with a casual elegance, all the rooms have a balcony or terrace. The least desirable rooms are the smallest, housed in two-story, A-frame structures next to the harbor. Bathrooms with tub/shower combinations range from standard motel-unit types to spectacularly luxurious offerings, depending on your room category. Falcons Nest villa, the new 6-bedroom villa, overlooks White Bay Beach and Norman Island, and features an infinity pool. The Crow's Nest, a luxurious four-bedroom villa, overlooks the harbor and Sir Francis Drake Channel, and features a private swimming pool. The Hawk's Nest villa is a three-bedroom villa situated on a tropical hillside.
The resort has two restaurants. For the day-tripper, the Deadman's Beach Bar and Grill is the more casual of the two, although reservations are recommended. Set right on the beach, it enjoys a secluded setting in the midst of sea-grape trees and towering palms. The restaurant has a wood-fired pizza oven and an expansive salad bar buffet, which also includes freshly made desserts. At lunch expect an array of sandwiches, even one made from a big portobello mushroom. Other selections include Jamaican jerk chicken, tuna tartare, and roti. Dinner includes the fresh catch of the day, succulent lamb kebabs, and other enticing dishes. Sunday afternoons a live steel-drum band plays, and on Wednesday nights there's a West Indian buffet, with a return engagement from those steel drummers.
