"Guana is the closest you'll get to a private island without a five-figures-a-day tab: Think a maximum of 36 guests spread over seven beaches."

"Here's a good resort if you want to stroll the hillsides, snorkel around the reefs, swim at its seven beaches, and still enjoy some degree of comfort."

"With an old sugar mill as its centerpiece, this hotel has 24 rooms, suites, and a villa scattered up the hillside at Apple Bay."
Star Service
"The Sugar Mill can't miss when it comes to meeting (and often surpassing) guest expectations. Service is spot-on, and management concerns itself with all of the nuts-and-bolts details."
