Every room is different, but each has an open west wall that allows guests unrestricted views of nature and the setting sun. Positioned 1,000 feet above the Caribbean on a hillside between the Piton peaks, the resort is designed so that all rooms, although open on one side, are completely screened from anyone passing by. Trade winds prevent a problem with flying insects, and the lofty location guarantees cool temperatures for sleeping.
In addition to Morne Trois Pitons National Park, the island has several other preserved areas, including the Northern Forest Reserve, Cabrits National Park, and the Central Forest Reserve. Many of these protected areas are still uncharted because of their tangled profusion of vegetation, but trails lead to enough outstanding sites to keep vacationers busy for weeks.
