Perched on a landscaped hillside at the water's edge, opposite the airport and located close to St. George, this self-contained resort remains a good value. A large wood-paneled lobby furnished with wicker and tropical plants has a window-wall that overlooks sparkling blue Grotto Bay. Several seating areas provide a comfortable place for guests to relax, and the roar of the occasional airplane is not overpowering.
The Palm Court Restaurant adjoins the lobby, alongside a new bar. The hotel provides two more dining areas and complimentary afternoon tea. A poolside restaurant serves lunch. The beach bar offers drinks poolside, and it has a serving area for those
wishing to swig and swim.
The heated pool and more secluded whirlpool overlook the bay. Two caves are on the property: One is a stop on a sightseeing tour, the other a swimming hole for guests, who also swim at two cove beaches. The private dock functions as the watersports center, renting equipment and offering rides in a large glass-bottom excursion boat. A sunken wreck off the beach makes for great snorkeling, and four tennis courts (two lighted), a game room and bicycles for rent give plenty of leisure choices. Motorbike rentals are next door. The bus stop at the front door provides an inexpensive alternative to taxi rides. A small exercise room is located near the 
pool area.
Meeting rooms accommodate 200 people, and the new lower level business center offers complimentary high-speed Internet access. A gift shop is in the lobby. Laundry facilities are a welcome extra.
Rooms are in separate buildings spread out over a large area; golf-carts are available to take guests from the main building. All rooms are medium-sized and feature air conditioning, TVs, coffeemakers, refrigerators, safes, double or king beds, tiled floors, tropical furnishings and balconies. Combination baths supply hair dryers. The best units are those beachside. Buildings 1 to 4 are termed oceanfront, while 5 through 8 are oceanview. Rooms are set aside for nonsmokers and guests in wheelchairs. There is no room service, but the hotel offers complimentary afternoon tea.
This large resort's amenities and friendly staff appeal to budget-conscious travelers, families and couples. The only downside is the hotel's seclusion from Hamilton and the rest of the island, but most guests choose to remain on site to enjoy the well-rounded facilities. All-inclusive packages are available.
