Mango Beach Inn
When the Marigot Bay ferry delivers you to the dock across the bay, a small gate opens to a stone staircase that leads through a jungle of trees and flowers to this delightful, tidy little property. Hosts John and Judith Verity, British transplants to Saint Lucia, warmly welcome guests to their small inn, which is also their home. All six self-catered apartments are newly renovated, air conditioned, and have modern kitchens, private entrances, and outdoor seating areas. Four are up the hill near the main Harbor House, where the owners live, and two are spectacular over-the-water cabins where you can swim directly off your deck or lounge on the built-in hammock. Take a walk to the ridge, lounge around the pool or at Marigot's small beach, or enjoy water sports. The little ferry will collect you for dinner at your choice of several nearby restaurants, fancy or casual—or you can barbecue poolside, if you prefer.
