$$-$$$$, Nevis
Fodor's Review:
These dramatically set one-, two-, and three-bedroom bungalows cling like glorified tree houses to a cliff overlooking several glittering beaches. Enormous enclosed patios open onto the island's most glorious vistas; monkeys and pelicans often drop by informally. Every cottage has a full kitchen; many have outdoor gas grills and private swimming pools (those with no pool are especially good buys); it's a short if precipitous walk to Oualie and Lover's beaches. The tiny hotel pool sits in the foundation of a 250-year-old fort, shaded by a magnificent baobab tree. The bungalows are beautifully designed and decorated with beamed ceilings, batik wall hangings, terra-cotta floors, Thai teak furnishings, striking abstract art naïf, and beds swaddled in mosquito netting. Most coveted, especially by honeymooners, are Baobab, Williwaw, Sea Biscuit, and the ultraprivate Monkey cottages.
