Fodor's Expert Review Bruce Bowker's Carib Inn

The cozy rooms and the personal touches of late owner–dive-instructor legend Bruce Bowker are why this resort consistently boasts the highest return-visitor ratio on the island (there is a minimum three-night stay). Most apartment-style units have kitchens, and all bedrooms are air-conditioned. Also on-site are two stand-alone house accommodations of three and four bedrooms, a cute stand-alone bungalow and a 2-bedroom oceanfront apartment. As a PADI Five Star lodge. the emphasis here is on diving, diving, and more diving, but even novice divers can benefit from the small class sizes and the snorkeling is great, too.
