"I loved the view. The property was nice just far away from everything. If you want seclusion it is for you. You can relax not overly crowded. Great sunsets. Food was wonderful many options. Negative comments: On the website it said Stonetown and city was 1 minute or 2 away but is an hour and 1/2. No other beach Re s nearby. No other restaurants in walking distance. Could not use credit card for excursions. Had to have a taxi take you to an ATM to pay. Some locations had limitations to amounts that is wirhdrawn. This needs to be spelled out before going, it seems. Limited English. Overall it would be excellent if it was not for the unfortunate problems."
