THE NATIONAL HOTEL

This impressive Victorian building, with its immaculate white facade, faces the old port and boasts lovely views of the waterfront. Its location is ideal, as it's just a few minutes' walk from the beach and close to the island's bars and restaurants. The historic building is protected. The hotel has been refurbished to retain its old-fashioned charm, and the decor in the rooms and lobby is not very modern - in fact, it's rather busy - but that's what makes it so charming.
