Fodor's Expert Review Island Inn Hotel

Constructed in 1804 as a rum storage facility for the British Regiment, this charming, all-inclusive boutique hotel—less than a mile from Bridgetown and steps away from beautiful Pebbles Beach on Carlisle Bay—appeals to singles, couples, and families. Modern, attractively decorated rooms (just 24 of them) form a horseshoe around the pool and gardens. The bathrooms are large and, well, stunning. Guests love the walk-in closets, too. The dining room serves three meals a day, both local and international cuisine, and the chef will prepare a picnic for you to take to the beach or on a day's outing. There's also entertainment on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings, as well as a rum tasting on Wednesday. A scuba-diving lesson in the pool is included. And for a change of pace, try your luck at the slot machines in the arcades next door and across the street.
