Fodor's Review:

This former estate is perched on a verdant hilltop overlooking the Atlantic, so it has a breathtaking view. An interesting Parisian couple returned to the husband's homeland and lovingly restored the 19th-century creole manor house starting with six simple guest rooms opening onto a verandah. This hotel de charme recently completed a major expansion going from 11 to 30 rooms, while maintaining the colonial ambience. All 19 rooms are housed in newly constructed or completely renovated, freestanding cottages on a knoll overlooking the main entrance of the Louisiana-style greathouse. The newer rooms have some antiques and more style. Seven rooms (five doubles and two bi-level "quadruples") have been carved out of the original stables, and three four-room lodges, built in the same Louisiana-style architecture, house a fitness room and a conference room. A media room with a wide-screen plasma TV is a most welcome addition, as there are none in the rooms, nor are their phones—but there is Wi-Fi. The restaurant is elegant, has a fixed-price menu, and is furnished with period antiques. Pros: you can daydream yourself into a more-gracious era; hip owners are scintillating company; wheelchair-accessible rooms and even pool. Cons: somewhat remote location requires a car; original rooms are not stylish bathrooms not wonderful.
