The island's first eco-resort sprawls across some 24 hectares (59 acres) on Culloden Bay. A local doctor and his daughter carved this "environmentally responsible" resort out of a dense forest of cocoa and fruit trees in 1997. The result is a rustic and charming compound of wood-sided, thatch-roofed cottages. Each unit is artfully built of recycled lumber, with an emphasis on native termite-resistant hardwoods such as wallaba and teak. Accommodations are rough hewn but comfortable, with a hammock for classic island lounging, wooden floors, and a lot of idiosyncratic charm. Rooms range from standard doubles to 2-bedroom villas with a private pool and Jacuzzi. Nature trails fan out across the nearby hills, and good beaches include Courland Bay and Castara Bay, a 15-minute drive away.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; Jacuzzi; 2 pools; room service; spa; rainforest tours

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.
