The location is a good one to explore any direction on the island and a couple of good places to eat and drink. Quiet area with great access to anywhere without having to drive through a busy area. Beach Bums and Tante’s were great, and only a few minutes walk so no problems enjoying happy hour. The view is great and watching turtles from the balcony is fabulous. Pool is heated, and BBQs mean you can cook some food and save a few dollars for other activities. Aquarium is good, but a bit on the dear side. Use Groupon to save a few dollars. Plenty of cruises head out of the harbour for different activities.
Unfortunately there were a few issues with the property.
There was a big fire in the area, which is not a usual situation, but the host was not being clear whether we would have access to the property, the communication was not good. Host doesn’t live locally, so did not know what the situation was.
Cable TV unit not working in the lounge, swapped the one from the bedroom, host wanted me to ring the cable company, not up to me to ring the cable company on my holiday, but I rang and spent 15 mins on hold before giving up. Came to snorkel, not spend time on the phone.
Lamp over table didn’t have a bulb.
Door lock is awkward to use, need to pull door to get it to lock.
No air conditioner in the bedroom, had to sleep with window open to allow breeze through room, and there was plenty of wind. But anyone can see you from outside if you’re not careful, the light in the morning streams through the window, and if you leave the curtains closed, the wind will blow them around. Aircon in the lounge struggles on hot days, got to leave the doors and windows open for the wind to blow through.
Kitchen is dated, bench grout is old and needs cleaning. Appliances are good and new, big fridge, and handy to have dishwasher and washing machine. Bathroom needs to have a deep clean.
No beach, but one just down the road. Watching turtles from the balcony makes up for it. Early morning snorkling is best as water clear then, but careful with the rock water entry.
Recycling cans being rifled through every morning at about 6:00 am should be behind a locked gate to stop this.
