"This 10-room inn, on a quiet hillside 600 feet above the shoreline, is like a family-run New England B&B that's been plopped among palms and bamboo."
"With only 10 rooms, some overlooking the sea and all with views of lush hillsides, Mocking Bird Hill is much more like a cozy bed-and-breakfast than a hotel." Full review
"The restaurant at Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has become a destination unto itself, thanks to chef Melvin Laidlaw, who gets most of his produce from an on-site garden." Full review
"This charming, homey, and well-maintained inn competes effectively with hotels and resorts that are larger, grander, and sometimes, much more pretentious." Full review
8.0

"FDR is an all-inclusive that's the number-one choice if you're traveling with children." Full review
"A favorite for families with very young children, this relaxed resort goes a step beyond the usual supervised kids' programs."
"This decidedly un-fancy resort enjoys great popularity with families because its daily rate includes a "vacation nanny" who tidies the room and entertains the kids all day long." Full review
Mid-Range
"The mid-range Franklyn D is geared towards families on vacation." Full review
"At this Spanish hacienda-style, all-inclusive family resort, there are kid-friendly facilities and a personal nanny assigned to each child." Full review
"A resort where your own personal nanny is included from 8:30 a.m. until 4:40 p.m. daily...children staying at the Franklyn D. Resort & Spa are unlikely to get bored: There's a 100-foot-long waterslide"
