"WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE GOLDEN LEMON INN"
Ian Keown, Gourmet Magazine
"There is a whisper of refined decadence about this 17th century manor... guest rooms of such flair and flourish that they leave the viewer bedazzled... charming town villas... the latter with private pools... leave the visitor delighted with space and privacy... (the) dining room with its crystal chandeliers and Delft tulipieres, is an exquisite place in which to sample lobster cakes with papaya mayonnaise, pork chops West Indian style, and chocolate chip cake with hard sauce."
Bon Appetit
"Each accommodation is masterfully decorated, and repeat guests often demand their favorite room.... Dinner is always an event in the antique filled main dining room with its flickering hurricane lamps, blue and white imported china and handsome works of art."
