What sets this hotel apart from Sandy Lane or the Fairmont Royal Pavilion is that the owners, the O'Hara family, are omnipresent, especially the two brothers, who often greet guests before they have a chance to reach the reception desk, though management does not seem to invest the same interest in handling advance special requests.
Frommer's "One of the best and most luxurious five-star hotels on the island. This collection of coral-stone cottages sits on 12 lush, landscaped acres...all done in airy, spacious whites, wickers" Full review
