Concierge.com's insider take:
If you want the privileged Piton views and balmy trade winds—without having to sacrifice your high-tech comforts—this is the place for you. The 112 rooms are scattered over a 325-acre property, situated directly between the Pitons on a tropical hillside where a sugar-mill estate stood in the 18th century. Nobody gets the classic two-cone Piton view (you're too near), nor are there any seaside villas, but the beach has beautiful (trucked-in) white sand, the spa and the four restaurants are decent (the spa will be completely renovated by late 2007), and the scuba (ten minutes offshore in the underwater park) is great. All units have TVs and VCRs, AC, and Wi-Fi, although the tropical tapestry bedspreads, louvered closet doors, and fake ikat drapes could use replacing.
