The Horny Toad Guesthouse

Frommer's Review

This homey, welcoming place is run by an expatriate from Maine, Betty Vaughan. Unfortunately, the hotel is near the airport, but the roar of jumbo jets is heard only a few times a day for a few moments. Children 7 and under are not allowed, but families with older children often come here to avoid the megaresorts, and second-timers quickly become "part of the family."

Seven well-maintained units are in an amply proportioned beachside house originally built in the 1950s as a private home by the island's former governor. The eighth room is in half of an octagonal "round house," with large windows and views of the sea. Guest rooms range from medium-size to spacious, and each has a fully equipped kitchen, and a small but well-kept shower-only bathroom. There's no pool, no restaurant, and no organized activities of any kind. However, the beach is a few steps away, and there are often impromptu get-togethers around the pair of gas-fired barbecues.

Facilities:
Laundry service; nonsmoking rooms
