Fodor's Expert Review La Sagesse Hotel

Secluded on La Sagesse Bay, this country inn boasts its own restaurant and beach bar, along with a salt-pond bird sanctuary, thick mangroves, nature trails, and ½ mile (¾ km) of palm-lined beach—one of the prettiest beaches in the entire Caribbean. Five large guest rooms are in the historic manor house; a nearby beach cottage has two rooms; and a more modern beachfront building has two rooms and three suites, two of which are duplex. Only one room (in the manor house) has air-conditioning. All accommodations are within 30 feet of the beach, and all except those in the manor house have screened verandahs. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings, but you'll probably want to rent a car.
