It's easy to see why honeymooners love it here. Built around a sprawling early-20th-cen-
tury Victorian mansion, this elegant inn has 39 demure 'Tropical Victorian' rooms fur-
nished with wrought-iron beds and rich brocade linens. A few rooms even boast private
courtyards with gurgling fountains, while the public areas sparkle with fresh tropical
flowers and polished-wood accents.
