Frommer's Recommended

Set on a coastal road about 1.2km (3/4 mile) south of George Town, this is a well-recommended middle-bracket hotel whose rooms are divided among a quartet of two-story pink-sided outbuildings. Accommodations are no-nonsense and relatively comfortable. The location is favored by divers and snorkelers, who appreciate the jagged, mostly rock shoreline for its excellent snorkeling possibilities and the extensive diving programs on-site. For guests interested in sand, sun, and swimming, don't expect to take a dip off the shore here: you must lower yourself via ladders directly into the sea thanks to the rocky shoreline. Guests are given a number of options for accommodations, ranging from the cheapest -- a unit opening onto the courtyard -- to the most expensive -- a roomy suite that contains extras such as private balconies, two double beds, a full kitchen, and a living room. The latter is ideal for families or groups of four or more who like to do their own cooking. The midrange standard bedrooms open onto views of the sea and contain more space than the courtyard units. Two great reasons for staying here are direct access to the hotel's much-praised restaurant, Seaharvest, and its sprawling bar, My Bar, which is especially busy every Friday night. About 80% of the hotel guests are scuba enthusiasts; about 80% of the clients at the bar and restaurant are full-time island residents.
