The house is enthroned in brilliant white above the white beach and the turquoise waters of Meads Bay. The exposed location on a cliff offers great views. A few steps lead to the private Turtle Cove and the long stretch of Meads Bay Beach with its water sports center and the hotel's own beach restaurant Leon's Porch and Beach Bar (Caribbean cuisine, excellent cocktails). The hotel continues to embody classic luxury paired with a touch of glamor and Caribbean flair. All the more so because last year, after Hurricane Irma, it underwent a complete refurbishment and also added eleven new, spacious beach accommodations (junior suites and two-bedroom suites) and four garden suites.
Furthermore, a second infinity pool has been built as well as the aforementioned beach restaurant. A new spa opens in November. The old rooms in the two-storey main building have also been given a new lease of life. The Ocean View Premium Rooms in particular - we were in no. 23 with a dream view - impress with their beautiful terrace. The boutique-style lobby and lounge, in which the ceiling fans turn like in the old days, also exudes a lot of charm and is a pleasant place for a little afternoon tea.
The Café Celeste restaurant (with sea view) is not only a good place to sit, but also an excellent place to eat. Only first-class products are used, such as fresh scallops or the "local catch of the day" - even if the presentation sometimes seems outdated.

The staff were all very friendly, sometimes even cordial. The odd communication problem is not really a problem. For example, we ordered Greek yoghurt, slightly different from the breakfast menu, but "without honey please". Only the honey was served - without yoghurt.
