Book ahead – the owner proudly told us that all his rooms were full every single night in 2010.

Top choice
"Its 10 rooms are simple but clean and come with fridges; pricier ones have stunning harbor and sunset views...breakfast is served on the panoramic terrace. "

Two caveats: it's on the 3rd floor, with no lift/elevator, and wi-fi is in public areas only.

"Located on Flamands Beach, which boasts the island's clearest waters, Taiwana is totally not "on the radar"; owner is famously discreet."
Fodor's
"This classic island retreat delights young international guests who appreciate spiffy updates in spacious rooms and suites around a charming atrium garden."

Travel + Leisure
"Many of the rooms at this beachfront property, which sits at the eastern edge of Flamands Bay, are set high in the hills (so bring your sneakers—you’ll need them to climb the steps)."

Frommer's
"Each of the 22 spacious luxury suites is uniquely laid out and outfitted—most in modern monochrome but all with unfettered views of Flamands beach and the cerulean sea. "
