Fodor's Review:

Thanks to creative restoration, this inn evokes the physical old-time plantation atmosphere on Nevis (the original cistern is now the pool, and stone outbuildings hold public spaces and guest rooms). The setting is exceptionally pretty, with Mt. Nevis looming in the background, apricot-and-jade buildings enveloped by tropical landscaping, and cannons and rusting sugar-factory equipment forming a virtual abstract sculpture garden. However, despite occasional halfhearted renovations (TVs are still promised), the rooms remain a hodgepodge. The best have exposed wood beams, stone walls, polished hardwood floors, marble double vanities, and four-poster beds. Others are gloomy (reading lights are a chronic problem) or resemble a garage sale, contrasting tatty madras settees with contemporary curved white sofas and soiled rugs. The respected Cooperage restaurant features the "refined Caribbean cuisine" of respected chef Lynn Williams and sensational sea views. Pros: authentic plantation look; excellent under-the-radar restaurant. Cons: lackadaisical service; rooms need refurbishing; no beach or beach club.
