The most secluded of the West End cliff hotels: 12 cottages over sea caves, dinner in a candlelit cave and meals and drinks included. Romantic and quiet, but tiny, with no beach.

Old-school, romantic and all-suite: a couples-only resort on the cliffs with a mineral spring pool and more included than most, from excursions to scuba.

The small, quiet, all-butler Sandals: suites over a cove beach, afternoon tea in the garden and big-resort dining a shuttle away at Sandals Ochi.

Two resorts in one: a lively beach club by the sea and quiet Butler Villas up the hill, with more restaurants than you can try in a week.
