Room With a Killer View: Perfection From Hermitage Bay

Where: Jennings New Extension, St Mary's, Antigua and Barbuda

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

Think you could handle this view? We'd be more than happy to, and it comes from a hillside cottage suite at the Hermitage Bay resort in Antigua. Great short range view over our own pool, mid-range to the gorgeous beach, and long range over the grassy dunes and the sea--yep, pretty much picture perfect.

The price matches the view, with the hillside cottages commanding the highest rates of the resort--$850 a night in the low season (June to August) and up to $1,800 a night over Christmas and New Year. But at least it's an all-inclusive, which includes house wines and "premium" drinks: but fancier wines off their wine list and "deluxe" drinks cost extra.

Not that we're obsessed with drinking or anything, but this is the kind of view where all you need is a great cocktail on your deckchair and you can while away the evening staring out into the sea.
