Fodor's Review:

This basic, well-maintained hotel crowns a bluff above Basseterre, delivering amazing views of the town, the sea, and the mountains from every vantage point. The resort renovated quickly after hurricane Omar wiped out its manmade beach and bar, expanding the former to include a dock and snorkeling section. Two-story buildings in carnival colors wind through small, pretty gardens. The newer rooms are spiffier, with vivid throw rugs and mahogany two-poster beds; studios with kitchenettes and pull-out sofas offer real bargains for families (an additional connecting room costs just $50). Avoid only the 700 block; most other rooms have jaw-dropping panoramas. The tiered sundeck and pool, replete with swim-up bar, attractive rebuilt Diana's restaurant, and reconstructed Rocky's (a popular local watering hole) rank among the island's top sunset perches. The still minuscule man-made beach (a complimentary shuttle drops guests at Frigate Bay), irregular hours, and occasional plumbing problems are a small price to pay and don't seem to bother the laid-back divers and young Europeans who give Bird Rock an appealing international flavor. Pros: exuberant friendly clientele; great diving; excellent value; superb views. Cons: small man-made beach; insufficient parking.
