Great apartment with fabulous garden & pool views.
We would happily give 5 stars to the staff, service, rooms, garden and pool - they are magnificent for a laid-back island holiday.
What we drop the one star for is the somewhat incomplete communication.
Fundamentally, this is an apartment in a 3-story building. No spa yet. On the night of arrival, the independent Yachtsman Grill closed at 6 pm without a warning. We found that out at 6.15 when we tried to go to dinner. Luckily, there is a nice Indian restaurant less than half a mile down the road from the place, and the street has lights. And - they were not open for breakfast either. Missing the breakfast made me a bit grumpy, especially as the bed in our room turned out to be quite creaky...
From that on, things got much better. The place is really beautifull, our room had a great view over the garden and pool to the beach. Our apartment was very spacious, beautifull and very well equipped. The staff is wonderfull, very nice and attentive. We also heard the restaurant will start serving breakfast from January 15th onwards.
The island is very lovely, with the mountain and the rainforests. We did hikes, and rented bicycles for a round-the-island day trip. There are miles of mostly undeveloped beaches - very nice. And since this is a tropical island, it is a good idea to get insect repellent.
After we figured out how the place works, this was a very good and relaxing holiday!
