Frommer's Highly Recommended

You can't miss this brilliantly white three-building complex with painted purple and pink trim in the center of town. Every room comes with air-conditioning, and most have excellent ocean views and small refrigerators. Get a room on the second floor and you'll have a wonderful balcony -- you won't want to leave. Celi McCorkle opened this hotel over 40 years ago, the first on the island, and it's continued to keep pace with the times and tourism boom. A full-service dive shop, a popular bar and restaurant, and a small gift shop round out the amenities. The whole operation has a festive and lively air to it. This hotel lacks some of the amenities of other options in this price range -- there are no televisions and no swimming pool -- but it makes up for that with its funky island vibe.
