Fodor's Review:

Referred to by locals as OTI, this is a rarity: a smart, intimate business hotel that nonetheless appeals to vacationers. The hillside location, convenient to downtown Basseterre, guarantees marvelous bay views from virtually every room. Luxuriant gardens, room blocks, and a split-level free-form waterfall pool tumble down to the sea. Island touches from masks to murals animate nooks and crannies. Handsomely decorated but tired rooms vary widely in size and style; many deluxe rooms and junior suites (which have a 1960s bachelor-pad look) have kitchenettes or whirlpool tubs. The condos are closer to the water and have great views. The urbane hilltop Waterfalls Restaurant (a local must Friday nights for its West Indian buffet with live music) entices island power brokers. With regular shuttle service to Turtle Beach, courteous helpful staff, and an on-site gym and mini-spa, peaceful OTI promotes rest, not revelries. Pros: excellent service; fine facilities for a small hotel. Cons: must drive to beaches; sprawling layout; some rooms need sprucing up.
