Crane Restaurant 2003
The breeze that came into the room was awesome. There were no bugs (which my now fiancé loved), even though there were no screens on the windows. The resort is on the opposite side of the island from everything popular. The hotel was beautiful and they were making it bigger, which is probably already done. They were adding another restaurant, too. There was a great staff.

Quick Tips:

You can take the bus for B.50 versus a B cab ride to downtown.
Bring your suntan lotion.
Don't drink too many rum punches.
Definitely visit the fish market (I forgot the name) at night that is just past the airport. They have great food for about US for a big plate of food. I would have gone there more often, but I did not find out about it until I had only 2 days left.

Best Way To Get Around:

Take a taxi or the bus, but know that the bus drivers drive the bus like it is a Ferrari. It’s almost a thrill ride (and the people on the bus don't talk, which is weird).

The resort is on the opposite side of the island from everything popular. The hotel was beautiful and they were making it bigger, which is probably already finished. They had beautiful rooms. I also saw the two-bedroom units, which have their own pool. One-bedroom units do not face the ocean.
