Practicalities
A handful of small but characterful accommodation on the east coast offers a change from the built-up south and west of the island. It's a great, quiet area to unwind for a couple of days, away from the crowds. In Bathsheba try the Atlantis Hotel tel 246/433-9445; US$50-75), an ancient, faded and extremely welcoming place overlooking Tent Bay with good food and eight modest rooms - ask for one with a balcony. Just above the Atlantis and surrounded by an acre of tropical garden is Sea-U Guest House (tel 246/433-9030, sea-u@caribsurf.com ; US$75-100), a friendly little German-managed guesthouse offering four studios with kitchenettes and one guest room, and food is laid on if you don't want to cook. For lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong at the Round House Inn (daily 11.30am-2.30pm & 6-10pm; tel 246/433-9678), which offers top-quality cooking and a casual, family atmosphere, halfway down the steep hill that plunges to Bathsheba Bay. The lunch and dinner menus are similar - offering dishes like blackened snapper for around B$35 - but you can also get sandwiches and salads at lunchtime for B$14 and up. There's an ocean view and you can sit indoors or on the verandah. It's also pretty much the only place to find regular live music in the area, with a decent jazz or reggae band on Tuesday and Saturday nights.
