Virgin Holidays View
Opened in October 2007, this rather wonderful hotel is in an idyllic spot, up on the secluded northeast coast, and everyone gets a lovely suite with its own large, furnished veranda. The suites are all in single-storey villas (2 suites to each villa) scattered throughout the beautifully landscaped, 30-acre resort. Natural materials have been used in the villas' classic Caribbean design, with gabled roofs and timber-clad frames. Learn Hobie Cat sailing, enjoy beach volleyball, explore the nature trails of the national park, admire the limestone formations of Devil's Bridge and take a boat trip* to uninhabited islets such as Bird Island. In the seafood restaurant, enjoy mahi mahi and lobster, fresh from the Caribbean Sea, and sip tropical cocktails as the sun goes down. We think it's going to be a very popular place...
