The Verandah Resort and Spa by Elite Island Resorts (formerly known the Verandah Hotel) sits in 30 acres on the untouched north east coast of the island. The hotel is adjacent to a soft white sand beach and features a world of living indigenous ecosystems. A reef protected turquoise bay surrounds the property and the eco-tourism attraction: Devil`s Bridge, is a brief walk away. Much of the island is covered with banana, mango and coconut groves, lush vegetation and rainforest as well as a number of old sugar mills and pleasant little churches.
