Fodor's Expert Review Island View Guesthouse

Perched 545 feet up the face of Crown Mountain, this small, homey inn has hands-on owners who can book tours or offer tips about the best sightseeing spots. Rooms range from a suite with a kitchenette that's perfect for families to simply furnished veranda rooms. The two verandah rooms and six poolside rooms have no air-conditioning, but at this altitude there's always a breeze. Six of the rooms have kitchenettes, so you don't have to eat out for every meal. There's an honor bar for drinks and snacks and a communal veranda where guests congregate for Continental breakfasts. There's dinner service Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
