This small and stylish resort retains a loyal following because of its helpful, attentive staff and aura of unpretentious elegance. The architecture is reminiscent of Florence, with terra-cotta rooftops and a shaded courtyard, complete with fountain. Suites, all with sweeping sea views, have earthy tiles, luxurious white Egyptian cotton-covered beds, and Elemis toiletries. The ground-floor suites, fronted by large arched patios and lush azaleas, have a palatial feel and turquoise water views. New, ultraluxurious villas offer families a Grace Bay experience with large pool, a bar and grill, and an impressive range of children's activities, bouncy castle in Kids Town, as well as kayaking trips and all sorts of "edutainment" to keep even teenagers well occupied. There are also cookies, of course. There is construction ongoing at Grace Bay Club Estates, so ask for a room on the Villas side of the property. Anacaona remains one of the island's best restaurants; cocktails and tapas are offered in the Lounge, a Provo hot spot that gently cascades down to the beach.
