The Cotton House Hotel Review, Mustique, St Vincent and the Grenadines

The Cotton House comes with its own private pool, while the beach and a watersports/dive shop are just a stroll away. Loungers and snorkels are free but other activities are chargeable. A gym, boutique and a spa with four treatment rooms can be found in a separate building across the lawn. There is a small historical museum in the Sugar Mill (beware the mosquitos!), and floodlit tennis courts nearby. Around the island are superb beaches (picnic sites must be reserved in advance), walking trails, a library, several shops, bars and an equestrian centre. Service is polite with an easy pace.
