Fodor's Review:
In addition to terraced gardens and arbors, this remarkable 7.8-acre site in the glowering shadow of Mt. Nevis has natural lagoons, streams, and waterfalls, superlative bronze mermaids, egrets and herons, and extravagant fountains. You can find a proper rose garden, sections devoted to orchids and bromeliads, cacti, and flowering trees and shrubs -- even a bamboo garden. The entrance to the Rain Forest Conservatory -- which attempts to include every conceivable Caribbean ecosystem and then some -- duplicates an imposing Maya temple. A splendid re-creation of a plantation-style greathouse contains a tearoom with sweeping sea views and a souvenir shop.
