Though this secluded Myron Goldfinger-designed enclave resembles a series of giant concrete baby carriages from the outside, the airy curves and angles of the skylighted interiors are comfortable, if a little dated, with the sort of oversize wicker furniture, and raw-silk accessories that defined resort-chic in the late '80s. Louvered Brazilian walnut doors and windows perfectly frame tranquil views of St. Martin. Units are equipped with current amenities like flat-screen TVs and DVD players, but the Formica kitchens and standard-issue bathrooms could stand some upgrading, especially at these prices. The Point, the newest unit, features five large bedrooms right on the beach and a private pool and hot tub on a broad oceanfront terrace. There is a new fitness facility. At this writing the management is offering 20% off all rates, so be sure to ask if any unpublished discounts are available when you book. Pros: secluded large private villas; private beach with reef for snorkeling; great service. Cons: beach is small and rocky; located at the far end of the island.
