Boutique 77-room resort on intimate Caribbean bay Featuring two pools and two cozy beaches, this resort is arrayed on a flower-bedecked hillside along Antigua's northern tip. Guestrooms, suites, and villas include sea-view balconies or patios furnished with cushioned lounge chairs and dining sets. One restaurant serves a complimentary full American/English breakfast buffet. Another offers intimate, adults-only dinners. The resort offers 77 guestrooms, suites, and villas in nine two-story buildings colored pale-cream with pastel-green accents, flanked by thick tropical gardens, and fronted by flowers and plants. All accommodations feature balconies or ground floor patios furnished with cushioned lounge chairs and dining sets and providing views of the Caribbean Sea. Pale walls, ceilings, and tile floors serve as background for tropical-color fabrics. Bathrooms feature gleaming marble-finish tile and English toiletries from Gilchrist & Soames. Crank-open louvered panels combine with ceiling fans to offer a cooling alternative to air conditioning. What to expect: Occupying 14 acres of garden hillside and oceanfront facing Soldiers Bay, this resort draws American and European couples and families seeking relaxation and an open-air West Indian ambience. Everyone dresses up after dark as musical tree frogs serenade and lights gleam on the bay. Amenity highlights: The resort features two beaches separated by a slender, rocky point. A 100-yard activities beach is furnished with lounge chairs, thatch shades, and umbrellas. The other beach offers 50 yards of sand furnished with thatch shades. Between the larger beach and the point lies a 50-by-150-foot seaside promontory featuring a L-shape boardwalk furnished with umbrella tables and lounge chairs and a sunning lawn with lounge chairs and umbrellas. A 45-foot-long freeform main pool is surrounded by a sundeck containing lounge chairs and umbrellas and features a poolside bar in a little wood pavilion. A second pool measuring 35 by 15 feet is adults-only. A third pool was added in October 2004, featuring a new bar, sundecks, and loungers. Insider tip: At the end of a rocky point separating the resort's two beaches lies a wood pavilion that provides a private, tranquil spot for enjoying sunsets. Ground transportation:
Shuttle vans or private cars of varying prices are available. They can be selected during the process of booking an air-inclusive reservation for this hotel, via this Web site, and added to the total trip cost.
