We spent six nights at the British Colonial Hilton and really enjoyed it. It is not a family resort hotel.

I should say up front that I'm not very impressed with anything on the entire island. Everything is run down, dirty, and filled to the brim with overweight Suburbanites from Ohio wearing fanny packs.
