"Small and well-run, this little beach front inn is a throwback to simpler times. As well as colorful rooms there are bungalows with large verandas and up to two bedrooms and two baths."
Star Service
"This colorful bungalow complex is sandwiched between the airport and a magnificent stretch of white shady beach shared with the superior Caravanserai Beach Resort." Full review

With the exception of dyed-in-the-wool budgeters, Junior Garden rooms—there are two—should be avoided for their small proportions and drab views.
Fodor's
"A shaded courtyard welcomes guests at this quirky, informal guesthouse on a 3-mile-long stretch of Simpson Bay. It has the funky feel of the Florida Keys."
Frommer's
"A cheerfully spiffed-up boutique property, where the best rooms have big cherrywood four-poster beds and spacious layouts...also the kind of friendly place that encourages mingling with your neighbors" Full review

Others praise the beautiful grounds and facilities but caution that those with mobility issues should request a room on the first floor since the resort's elevators are often out of order.
Frommer's
"The resort feels off the beaten track, nestled inside a crescent cove and framed by the lush hills of the Anse Marcel National Nature Reserve...modestly outfitted rooms and suites are pleasant enough" Full review
