Fodor's Expert Review Catamaran Hotel
Great Fort George Monks Hill Trail, Antigua and Barbuda
Mere steps from the water’s edge, the main building at the congenial cozy harbor front "Cat Club" evokes a plantation great house with verandahs, white columns, and hand-carved doors. The efficiency apartments are ideal for families (the staff dotes on kids), and second-floor deluxe rooms have romantic canopied four-poster beds and scintillating views. Nonmotorized water sports are free at the minuscule, palm- and almond-tree-lined beach, where you can gaze upon megayachts anchored in the marina while lounging on newly installed beach daybeds. The on-site Captain's Quarters is a popular local liming spot with decent grub. Owned and operated by the notable Bailey family for many years, two generations of the family are on-site to make sure improvements happen yearly and ensure smooth sailing for travelers seeking true Antiguan flavor.
