Fodor's Expert Review Sunset Shores Beach Hotel

Down a long, steep driveway off the main road, this lemon-yellow, low-rise, family-owned hotel faces a narrow curve of Villa beachfront. The hotel also surrounds a small pool and gigantic—and prolific—mango tree (help yourself from January through July). All rooms are large, with a patio or balcony. Opt for a room with a water view; otherwise, amble over to the poolside bar for a glimpse of the gorgeous sunsets. The restaurant has a small but varied menu with fresh local fish and lobster (in season); service is friendly and efficient. Local businesspeople frequent the restaurant and use the conference facilities, although the hotel caters primarily to vacationers.
