Fodor's Expert Review Island Seas Resort

This time-share property also accommodates nonmembers looking for fun on the beach away from urban traffic; one- and two-bedroom suites with balconies overlook the flowery courtyard, where their thatch-roof CoCoNuts bar and restaurant and a free-form pool with waterfalls and swim-up bar are the centerpiece. Nonmembers generally stay across the street from the main complex; rooms are very basic with outdated decor and sparsely furnished and the service can be wanting. The resort is in remote Williams Town and guests will need to hire a car or a taxi if they wish to go anywhere. On-site activities include tennis, ping-pong, and shuffleboard, and there is a water-sports operator that offers snorkeling, fishing, boating, and more.
