The Crown and Anchor offers guests a superb central location for the first time visitor or those wishing to be in the eye of the party hurricane. The deluxe rooms w/ king bed are generous in size and feature large balconies overlooking the pool and bay at the rear. The kitchenette w/ microwave, bar fridge and sink is adequate and handy for snacks and the needed cocktail for the hour or so that you're not at a bar, club or restaurant during your stay. The rooms over the Wave Bar are surprisingly sound-proofed, but plan on staying up till the 1 AM bar closing on weekends which tend to be exuberant. (Yes, that's the word... exuberant.) Staff is genuinely friendly and didn't snicker when my partner and I showed up with seven bags for one week. What they probably said behind our backs was undoubtedly inspired and funny and I can live with that. This probably isn't the place to contemplate and delve into your inner child before painting it's portrait for a gallery opening; this is the place to let the child wail... and have a CD available. Everyone in town seems to have a new CD. Cheers.
