Frommer's Review

This is Saba's only luxurious hotel. The hotel opened in 1994 and immediately began to attract large numbers of visitors, among them celebrities who might not have set foot on the island before. Guest rooms have Casablanca-like ceiling fans; furnishings are not of the highest standard, but are still comfortable. Because the hotel is in a garden high on a hill overlooking the island's southwestern coastline, each room has sweeping views and almost constant ocean breezes. Much care went into the design, making use of everything from cedar from the U.S. Northwest to original island paintings. The least expensive units are the two rooms in the main building, which are quite spacious. The other five units are in a concrete building designed in the island's distinctive style, with red roofs, white walls, and green shutters. For the most luxurious living, ask for the VIP Room overlooking the pool, with its own large balcony. Lower cliff-side units are the smallest, but have good views from their private balconies. Honeymooners prefer the Room in the Sky.

The hotel restaurant and its bar are recommended.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; tennis court; fitness center; Jacuzzi; room service; 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.
