Chic hotel offering airy quarters, some with sea views & plunge pools, plus dining & beach shuttles.

The 12 airy rooms have balconies, flat-screen TVs, and safes, plus minifridges; some are stair-access only. Upgrades add sea views, while suites include living areas with sofabeds. Upgraded suites provide infinity plunge pools and/or in-room whirlpool tubs. A beach shuttle is free, as is breakfast served in a casual seaside restaurant that has a terrace.

"A neighbor of Monasterio del Viento, Providencia's only properly sophisticated hotel is up the steep hill from its seaside restaurant, the best place to eat on the island. The villas overlooking Crab Cay are like light-flooded ship's staterooms, and there are plunge pools on the terraces from which to watch the moon rise. Staff are a hoot and will teach you a bit of Creole. Doubles from $195."
