The gardens are set in an old sugar plantation, which was a pleasant surprise. It is a self guided tour with well defined paths. There are several exhibits throughout the place, one of them was the sea shells of the island and another one was a small museum about the evolution of the island and the plantation itself. There are several bathrooms in the facility and the gift shop is stocked with local affordable local art and souvenirs. Very beautiful spot to visit! …

Highly recommend for a relaxing and beautiful afternoon when the weather is overcast or you just need a break from all the sea related activities.…

We enjoyed our self-guided tour of the beautiful gardens. There were a few plants blooming and the guide map provided lots of information about the estate and the different garden settings. I am sure it is even more gorgeous in the summer.
