Fodor's Expert Review Cobalt Coast Resort and Suites

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

This small ecofriendly hotel is perfect for divers who want a moderately priced spacious room or suite right on the ironshore far from the madding crowds. Units have picture windows overlooking the Caribbean, imported Dutch fixtures, IKEA-style cabinetry, clip art of flowers and butterflies, and constructivist-inspired fabrics. The affable, ultraprofessional dive operation Reef Divers runs smoothly, catering to a wide array of needs, and Duppies restaurant (though primarily buffet) is surprisingly decent. The area also lures anglers so "we'll cook what you bring in." Add great shore diving (especially in the calmer summer season) with a four- or five-minute swim to a 60-foot drop, and this is a no-brainer.
