Petit St.Vincent, a privately-owned island resort in the Caribbean, offers total privacy and 22 luxurious secluded cottages. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/St_Vincent/psvresort/hotel/315/14/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:52:05 EST Remote and secluded as they may be, these cottages are beautifully appointed. (The resort conforms to the exacting standards of the Leading Hotels of the World). Each cottage is built from native blue bitch stone which is quarried on the island. There are terra cotta floors and peaked ceilings of Purpleheart hardwood. Everything blends beautifully with the island's terrain. Each of the cottages features a wooden sundeck, a living room, a bedroom, and one or two bathrooms and dressing rooms. The bathrooms have a shower, lots of counter space, robes, fluffy towels and a medley of Crabtree and Evelyn toiletries. The two daybeds in each living room can be made up to accommodate children. The cottages are sited to make the most of their immediate surroundings. Some are notched into the hills and bluffs to catch the breeze and savor the views, most are just steps from the beach. All the buildings are naturally air-conditioned with a combination of ceiling fans, louvered windows, cool terra cotta floors and the ocean breeze. The Grenadines are a group of islands sprinkled across what may be the most beautiful stretch of water in the Caribbean. Part of the Windward Island chain, the Grenadines drift southwesterly from St. Vincent, the largest of more than 30 islands that make up the nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Petit St.Vincent (better known locally as PSV) which lies 40 miles south of St.Vincent, is a paradise of softly rolling hills spread over 113 acress surrounded by two miles of white sand beaches, PSV has been tamed just enough to allow for the presence of 22 discreet and simple, yet luxurious cottages. Lying well off the tourist mainstream, PSV could be best described by what is not there. There is no airport, no formal check in, no keys. There are no televisions nor are there telephones in the cottages. Above all however, there is privacy. Here, amid untouched nature and surrounded by warm, crystal-clear, turquoise water, one senses that the island is one's own. The truly hermitic guest need never meet another visitor. Room service is available for all meals, either in your own cottage or at any other location on the island. Most guests however, choose to make use of the resort's beautiful bar and dining room for at least some of their meals. - Spacious cottage w/2 queen-sized beds - Patio deck w/teak lounge chaises and hammock - Premium bedding and bed linens - Deluxe toiletries - Bathrobes - Minibar - Cd Player, Hair dryer, iron and safe - Ceiling fans - Cribs and Strollers available - Turndown service - Laundry services (complimentary) Tennis night and day.
