Josiah's Hill; r incl breakfast $139-199;
closed Aug & Sep; )
Just 100yd down the hill from Serendipity House, near Jo-
siah's Bay, the eight rooms at this red-roofed West Indian-style building surround a central
garden and pool. The rooms have batik-print decor, but are a bit dark; each has a private
veranda. The onsite restaurant serves good local dishes, and the swim-up bar is a fine touch.

$150)
Located on Trellis Bay next to De Loose Mongoose restaurant, this place is a five-
minute walk to the airport and therefore an excellent choice for anyone with a late arrival
or early departure. Set on a thin beach among a grove of low coconut palms, the one-story
guesthouse looks more like a contemporary West Indian home than an inn, but the four
rooms have unexpected character, with beam ceilings and all rooms featuring a private
bathroom and fan.

they're pleasantly furnished with tile floors, white-washed walls, a kitchen and deck. It's a
