Other things to note
***We are open-minded, relaxed and understanding travelers and that is precisely the sort of guests we’re looking to attract.

Please note:
You are choosing to vacation in a developing, Caribbean country. Power cuts and internet downtimes are common here, particularly during strong storms. It’s usually for very short periods and resolved quickly.

This special place has attracted a diverse expat community. You might see neighbors, construction or simply workers taking care of properties. Please be aware there may be noise from local builders. If you're looking for a completely quiet setting, this may not be the right place. We are in a neighborhood with expats and locals around.
