Guests like to dress for dinner and the atmosphere is calm and polite. There are no TVs or clocks in the 48 suites and cottages, but things aren't stuck in the past – you'll also get complimentary Wi-Fi, an oceanfront spa and guests are encouraged to explore this flamboyant island on a wide choice of tours that includes a trip to the market with the hotel chef.
