REVIEW

Blue Lime

With all the furniture shaped from concrete, this 14-room hideaway has an urban vibe (and a nice saltwater pool).

About this Hotel

Price From $40

It's easy to confuse the Blue Lime with an apartment building—only a small gold plaque next to a sliding wooden door confirms you've found the 14-room hotel, opened in 2008 by French expat Alexis de Suremain. Inside, all of the furniture (including the built-in shelves, tables, and window seats) is shaped from concrete. Green-silk curtains and fuchsia and tangerine pillows soften the urban vibe and brighten the rooms, most of which have balconies. Out back, banana and mango trees shade the saltwater pool.

Free Wi-Fi? Yes.

Credit Cards Accepted MC, Visa.

Details Doubles from $40 with breakfast.
