There's no direct beach access, but guests can walk to nearby Palm Beach (full of bustling restaurants, casinos and nightlife) or get in the car and head to a hidden beach recommended by the owners -- they know the local scoop, so guests should be sure to ask their advice.
DK Eyewitness "Across the road from the Marriott complex on Palm Beach, this small hotel is an ideal alternative to the big resorts."
Frommer's "The romantic air that reigns throughout the hotel is enhanced by the private, air-conditioned casitas that are anything but rustic. Accommodations feature full kitchens and living rooms." Full review
Fodor's "A gorgeous luxury boutique oasis in an ex-coconut planation, this family run gem is decorated in bright tropical hues with unique accents supplied by local artists." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Located on a former coconut plantation, this delightful boutique hotel is just a short block from Palm Beach (where beach service is available) but miles from the tourist madness." Full review
New York Times "Inside it hides a tropical oasis of poolside hammocks and individually styled bungalows with cathedral ceilings. The rooms are obscured from each other by foliage, making it seem more private."
