Look at the area

Before the star rating, a beautiful isolated property may require driving for every dinner. Think about your daily routes.

Beach access

Check whether the beach is direct, walkable or only nearby by car to avoid surprises.

Included services

Compare breakfast, beach chairs, parking, kitchen, all-inclusive, spa or kids club to match your stay style.

Book early

In peak season, book small Grand Case and Orient Bay properties early because availability goes fast.
