Very nice and clean. All necessities were available. It was like home away from home and close to beach, shopping, bars, groceries and more. Pool was nice and warm. Host responded promptly to questions. Would like to go back one day.

It would be helpful to have a big bowl for salad or for fruitThe curtains would be helpful if they were thicker so at night the bright lights wouldn’t shine straight through to keep you awake in bedThe air conditioner and fan remotes need a new batteries.It was insanely frustrating and a little bit frightening to think there wasn’t going to be air-conditioningWe did use some beach mats that seemed insanely ultralight which blew all over the place and they didn’t wear very wellJust a few suggestionsWe did enjoy paradise for sure

This place is right in the middle of it all. If you don’t plan to go anywhere else on the island this location is perfect, you can walk to almost everything. Even the grocery supermarket is only 0.7 miles away if you feeling the need. The garden/pool view is peaceful and serine, you may even get a view of a mongoose or two.
