Features
Amenity highlights: A 1,600-foot beach extends along calm-water Marcel Cove and provides a view of neighboring Anguilla. A pool comprising two half-moon sections features a shallow area containing underwater banquette seating next to a bar. Expansive grounds encourage strolling. A 75-yard walkway flanked by royal palms and lawns leads from lobby to pool. Beyond the pool, a 75-yard path flanked by flowering bushes and more lawns leads to the beach.
What to expect: The resort's enchanting setting attracts an international clientele. Green hills cup the resort and fall to the sea in two rocky points that embrace turquoise Marcel Cove on the Caribbean Sea. Tropical French-colonial style is exemplified by the two-story, open-air, marble-floored lobby filled with rattan seating, red woodwork, a double staircase, artwork, and artifacts.
Insider tip: In addition to the resort's small fitness center, complimentary transport is provided for a half-mile trip up a hill behind the resort to an independently operated health spa containing a larger fitness center. Use of the fitness center, a steam room, and six-person spa tub is complimentary, as are aerobics classes, but patrons pay for spa services.

| Beach is wonderful and secluded, hotel rooms pretty basic. Showers somewhat skinny for larger people. Be prepared to eat other places as menu selections were limited. It may be a stretch to call it 4 star.
