West Bay or West End?
Choose West Bay if your ideal trip centers on a broad, well-known beach and convenient resort services. Choose West End if you want restaurants, dive shops, and village life within a compact area. Both are popular for good reason—and both can feel busy at peak times.
Why consider Brass Hill?
Brass Hill suits travelers who prefer a private-feeling retreat and expect to explore by road. The elevation brings a visual and atmospheric contrast to the waterfront: return from a full day to a quieter setting above the island.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do I need to walk to the beach, or do I plan to explore?
- Is nightlife close by a benefit or a distraction?
- Will I rent a vehicle, hire drivers, or rely on property-arranged transport?
- Do I want a full-service resort or a more personal stay?
- Which confirmed room features matter most to my group?
