This was an amazing adventure that we enjoyed to the fullest. We plan on coming back again.
The House: The location is perfect and is within a good walk of the airport. The views from the porch were breath taking. The hammock on the porch was perfect and my favorite spot. Listening to the waves and enjoying the sea breeze was therapeutic. If you are looking for a place that makes you feel like you are part of the community, this is a most go to place. We feel so lucky to have been able to stay here.
From the airport you can walk, cab, or call and rent a golf cart. There are two rentals places in town and both will probably leave a golf cart at the airport waiting for your arrival. We were even able to leave the golf cart at the airport on our way out. Golf carts for getting around are a must have in our opinion. Just be aware that cars will be passing you so hug the right side to allow them to pass.
Andrea's welcome letter is very informative. Val and Jose on site were super helpful as well, along with a lot of information on what’s going on in town and where to go for good food. Marley was a great addition for pet lovers like us. Marley would lay with us while we hung out and enjoyed some Belikins and the view.
The Turtle Inn is just a few hundred feet up the beach, they have a bar on the beach, and they are very nice, but a little pricey. The places we enjoyed eating at were Rum Fish, Mojo, and DeTach. There is also a breakfast place at the very end of the boardwalk that’s only open from 8:30 to noon and they have homemade wheat bread.
Barefoot bar was a great place to hang your hat and meet the locals while sipping down some local bittaz.
Tours: Jaguar Tour, Dtourz, we feel is a must. The guide, Doyle, is a local owner/guide and his tour was amazing. The ride is not that long and the sites were amazing. Zip line cave tour was a bit of a drive so be prepared for a long day. Still fun.
There is a local pharmacy so if you forget your bug spray you can get some in town. This is a must for those with pale skin. The local bugs love the tourists.
Most tours you book know where you are located and will come pick you up. All the locals know Andrea and the location. The entire area gave you a nice sense of community and everyone would say hello when passing. Our stay and adventures were all positive. Look forward to returning at some point.
