Fodor's Expert Review Bitter End Yacht Club

Sailing's the thing at this busy marina in the nautically inclined North Sound, where the long-popular hotel has been recently rebuilt with new Marina Villas that feature a sail-loft vibe and shoreline decks, plus several overwater bungalows. There's a busy social scene at this pleasant maritime village, with guests gathering to swap tales at the boat-shaped beach bar and dine on fresh local seafood, pad thai, and house-made desserts at the Buoy Room restaurant. The Sunchaser Dive shop organizes SCUBA trips, windsurfing lessons, sailing trips. and more. One thing that hasn't changed: the only way to reach the Bitter End is by boat.
