Caribbean is unsung hero

I love Calabash Cove - a little gem of a hotel - it's so different from the usual mainstream Caribbean offering. It's set in an exclusive little bay on the west coast, with incredible views - the water is bluer here than anywhere else on the island - and at night time you can see all the twinkling lights across the bay. It was created by Robert Buchsbaum who is an excellent hotelier in typical Austrian style - all the efficiency and attention to detail but with a real soft side and human touch in the way he has conceptualised the property. The hotel only opened at the beginning of this year and already they are boasting 100% scores on TripAdvisor, and AOL listed it as one of the 10 best views in the Caribbean. In my opinion places like this should help raise the profile of the Caribbean as a whole for the more discerning independent traveller since it doesn't get the recognition it deserves for offering a really rewarding, culturally rich holiday.

Hi Nadine, thanks for your tip - I only wish I was sat there looking at the view instead of the business park out of my office window, it sounds beautiful.....
