Where to stay in the Caribbean

Strawberry Hill

What's so special?

How they rate it

It offers "the most beautiful vista I've ever seen: a landscape of city, port, sea and sun". The height also means fewer mosquitoes "a huge nuisance in much of the region". Most of the rooms are log cabins that "cut into the side of the mountain, giving a magical sense of sleeping within an enchanted forest".
