Fodor's Expert Review The Old Gin House

Bay Rd., Oranjestad, n/a St. Eustatius, St. Eustatius

Built from 17th- and 18th-century cobblestones, this restored 18th-century cotton warehouse is now a hotel, bar, and restaurant with an attractive lobby and a lively deck on the shore. Rooms are either oceanfront or in a garden building near the small swimming pool. The large but tired rooms and baths are slated for renovation in 2016 by the property's new owners. A buffet breakfast, Wi-Fi, and cable TV are included.
