Hotel Cristina

A comfortable three-star perched on the cliffs above St Aubin's Bay, with one of the best west-facing terraces on the island for an evening drink as the sun goes down over the water. Rooms are simple and unfussy but many have sea views, and the outdoor pool and sun terrace make it a relaxed spot to while away an afternoon. It's a short downhill walk to the harbour village of St Aubin, with its restaurants, galleries and pubs, making it easy to combine pool time with an evening out. Good value for couples who want the sunset views and laid-back atmosphere of a luxury clifftop hotel without the five-star price tag.
