Concierge "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."
Fodor's "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
Travel + Leisure "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
Frommer's "This charming, homey, and well-maintained inn competes effectively with hotels and resorts that are larger, grander, and sometimes, much more pretentious." Full review

The Telegraph8.0
"Sandals Royal Plantation is at the pinnacle of the all-inclusive experience, with butler service, premium drinks and elegant dining in an old-plantation atmosphere." Full review
Frommer's "It's styled after a European mansion, complete with peacocks strutting around the garden fountains and a terrace overlooking the pool. Every suite has an ocean view, a Caribbean Colonial look." Full review
Lonely Planet "All rooms face the sea and feature marble bathrooms, and there are three gourmet restaurants, notably Le Papillon, an intimate French boîte with a dress code." Full review
