Erebus Inn. Built in the early 1960s, before the tourist boom began, this is Provo s veteran inn. It looks down on Turtle Cove from its location on the cliffs. It only has 25 guest rooms, all of which have been renovated several times in an effort to stay up with the big boys on Grace Bay. The air-conditioned guest rooms are decorated in pastel colors, the furnishings are comfortable. Some of the units are small cottages apart from the main building. There are two pools, a restaurant, bar, two tennis courts, a dive shop, and a health club. It s a cozy little inn and, if you can live with the lack of glitz and newness found in most other hotels on the bay, I think you ll find it a pleasant experience; it s cheap, too.
