Fodor's Expert Review Shaw Park Beach Hotel & Spa

This hotel probably won't win awards for its design, but it is one of the friendliest places around. Guest rooms have either a patio or balcony overlooking a long stretch of beach that ends near the White River. Most guests opt for dining on the open-air terrace, where local and international dishes are featured. Meals are served at specified hours. For an additional fee, you can opt for meals at the gourmet restaurant.
