Expert Review

Many island resorts offer tropical fruits for breakfast but at Pineapple Fields, you can pluck your own pineapple, guava, grapefruit, orange, pomegranate, or other delights any time you wish from the five-acre garden that surrounds the property's 32 suites. One- to 2-bedroom units are spread out within eight cottage-style buildings, just a couple hundred feet from the beach. In suites, good looking full kitchens feature granite and stainless steel, while creamy walls, beachy décor, and breezy porches (or balconies) make up the living spaces and bedrooms. In-room amenities include washer/dryer and flat-screen televisions. The beach - a wide, gorgeous swath of pearly-pink sand - is just across the narrow roadway, as is Tippy's, the resort's popular oceanfront restaurant. Open for lunch and dinner, Tippy's is known for its festive atmosphere, great food (grilled tuna and conch fritters are standouts) and, on the weekends, live music on the deck.
