wow! I am 2 days home and I still feel like I am on island time. My husband and I greatly appreciate Monique's cute, cozy cabana. The bed was comfy, the hammock on the porch was a daily routine. The laid back, relaxed atmosphere was awesome. the cold shower was refreshing.
Maurice cooked great food and I had the unique experience of falling asleep each night with the low murmur of people dining and laughing.
I took the island motto....GO SLOW, to heart. You can relax on this island, dine all 3 meals barefoot at all restaurants, greet people with a smile. and pet the island dogs. I miss Epu already. She was the sweetest, and walked with us for a while if she saw us on the streets.
Monique has kayaks and bicycles. My husband and I rode bikes in the rain and took the kayak into the mangroves about a mile north of the split. We found some schools of fish and watched them swim under us. At the split, my husband jumped from the rope swing, as did a few others.
Wonderful.
My advice? Get there fast and stay there for at least a week!
