The terrace of the Grace Bay Suite at Curtain Bluff

CURTAIN BLUFF OCCUPIES A MAJESTIC POSITION on a rocky headland and bluff creating two distinctive beaches on either side , one calm and one surf . You approach the property through elegant wrought-iron gates and along a driveway , giving views of the sandy beach lapped by calm turquoise waters . Grand palm trees provide shade throughout the grounds and dozens of hibiscus add a profusion of tropical colour . There are an abundance of plants across the property , from the entrances and walkways to the terraces of the guestrooms . The houses that contain the bedrooms and the public rooms are painted pale pink and have grey roofs , in a traditional Caribbean style . The spacious reception area welcomes you with plants in terracotta pots and tiled flooring ; archways provide private seating areas and the comfortable lounge has a large selection of books and games . Afternoon tea is served in a room decorated in the style of a traditional sugar mill . Dining at Curtain Bluff must be considered a highlight of a stay here , as is the opportunity to taste the excellent wines the hotel has to offer . Cuisine is European and classic in style , with an excellent choice of menus offered on a daily basis . Bedrooms are cheerfully furnished and overlook the sea , with rattan furniture and large Caribbean prints . Junior Suites are supremely comfortable and the Grace Bay and the exquisite Morris

Bay Suites typify a modernised colonial style . Guests can also enjoy a full range of treatments in the spa . Curtain Bluff is an excellent choice for couples and families of all ages . The hotel receives a large number of regular guests every year , so early booking is especially recommended .
