These traditional West Indian-style bungalows strung along one of Anguilla's longest beaches evoke an old-time Caribbean feel with their cotton-candy colors, and the gentle prices and interconnected rooms appeal to families and groups of friends traveling together. Gingerbread trim frames views of the ocean from charming verandahs. Rather basic rooms are decked with local artwork, mahogany and wicker furnishings, tropical-print fabrics, and ceiling fans; some have hand-painted floral borders. Those numbered 111 to 127 offer beach proximity and the best views; newer units aren't as well situated and lack views but have television and Internet access. The restaurant serves a mix of West Indian, Italian, and Continental cuisines; the bartenders proudly ask you to sample their special concoctions, exemplifying the friendly service. The hotel can arrange in-room massage and other spa treats. Pros: real, old-school Caribbean; young crowd; gentle prices. Cons: rooms are very simple, and bathrooms are the bare basics.
