Fodor's Expert Review Beachcombers Hotel & Spa

Guests choose Beachcombers for its comfortable beachfront rooms, friendly service, and lively atmosphere both day and night. In 1990, Cheryl Hornsey opened a six-room bed-and-breakfast in her family home overlooking the sea at Villa Beach. Today, that little inn has morphed into a delightful 48-room hotel with a pool, restaurant, and popular bar. Rooms are in the original family home and in brightly colored (orange and yellow) three-story buildings. Half the guest rooms overlook the sea; the others face the garden's frenzy of flowers. All are tidy and comfortable, with either patios or balconies with lovely views. Each of the two enormous penthouse suites has a full kitchen, an elegantly furnished sitting-dining room, a modern bath with a whirlpool tub, and a large private balcony with a view of the Grenadines. Beachcombers also offers spa services: aromatherapy, facials, sauna, steam bath, and more. And on Saturday evenings, you'll usually find a live band and dancing on the pool deck adjacent to the Beach House restaurant and bar.
