In a league of its own for ambience, intimacy and customer service, this boutique hotel rises from the ruins of the Appleby Plantation that gave Apple Bay its name. Guests stay in the 24 studios and suites that hide on the steep hillside among mahogany trees, bougainvillea and palms. All rooms have balconies and sea views.
The property’s centerpiece is its gourmet restaurant. It offers a more casual beachside eatery, as well.
