Ottley's Plantation is lovely. We combined a stay there with a stay a Nisbet Plantation on Nevis. Nisbet is on a beach; Ottley's is in the mountains, and rests in the shadow of Mt. Liamuiga:



We stayed in one of the cottages with a plunge pool, and our favorite pastime was watching the green vervet monkeys cavorting on the grounds at mealtimes (i.e. after dawn, before dusk).



I highly recommend renting a car and circumnavigating the island. Although the beaches aren't the greatest, the topography of the island is lush and mountainous. One of the beautiful spots is called Black Rocks, and you have a view of the sea, the black rocks, and the island of Statia in the distance.
