Point Grace ReviewThis boutique hotel, one of the most charming and atmospheric on the island, opened in 2000 on one of the best beaches in the entire Western Hemisphere, a lyrical crescent of sand ringed by turquoise sea. Point Grace has racked up one award after another since it opened, including a 2006 World Travel Award for the Caribbean's Leading Boutique Hotel, and in a short time has perfected an almost effortless grace. The motif is vintage West Indies, and the services and amenities are first-rate, ranging from twice-daily maid service to midday sorbets on the beach. You can request to be met at the airport in a Rolls-Royce, have a private in-room chef prepare your meal, or have a picnic hamper readied for island excursions. The Thalasso Spa at Point Grace (open daily 9am-6pm) is a full-service on-site spa that offers treatments using sea mud and seaweed, among other delicacies. The complex features exceptionally spacious one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom suites and penthouses, furnished with Indonesian hardwood and teak and brightened by crisp white Frette linens and African artwork. Hand-painted tile and mahogany grace the bedrooms, and each suite has a beautifully appointed kitchen. On-site is the excellent restaurant Grace's Cottage, perhaps the most romantic spot to dine in the TCI.

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.
