Let me start this off by saying that if you’re looking for a 5 star resort, this is not the place for you. While resorts treat you like royalty, Abel treated us like family and that is priceless.
Staying at The Novello made us feel like we were truly immersed in island culture. You’re on the south point of the island so you’re farther from town, but you actually get to see things and explore the island. Abel provided us with bikes to use all week, and each morning we woke up to a beautiful sunrise and a quick swim in the beautiful pool to get out day started. The day it rained sucked, but that’s part of it. On a sunny day during our stay Abel took us fishing and we had the most spectacular time!
If you’re looking to disconnect from the rat race and truly kick back and experience island life, this is the place for you. Just be aware that you won’t have AC (there’s a few fans though) & you’ll have to adjust to missing a few comforts you’ve probably taken for granted. It’s well worth it.
