Sunset Resort Hotel (Calabash Bay, tel. 876/965-0143, srv@sunsetresort.com, www.sunsetresort.com, US$90\115 garden view, US$135 oceanview, US$150 honeymoon suites) basically defines "Butu," the Jamaican equivalent of kitsch, with its Jamaican nouveau-riche exaggerated decor. Floral bedcovers with matching curtains and plastic flower arrangements seem to be transplanted straight from the home of a Kingston drug don. Nonetheless, it's hard to overlook the charm and care taken to make everything match so carefully, even if it is sorely lacking in taste.
Perhaps the best deal at Sunset Resort Hotel are the small villas adjacent to the main building, which rent for less (from US$97) and have more basic amenities--with appreciably less gaud strewn about.
