Villa Sweet Breeze turned out to be everything we hoped for! We wanted to stay away from the hustle and noise of the Christmas season, and up there, on Patience Hill, we found exactly that. The house is spacious, beautiful, well-equipped [and many books to choose from!]. The manicured lawn and shrubbery made for pleasant morning strolls. And we spent many afternoons lazing in the infinity pool, watching the sun go down. Being so close to nature was very relaxing, the cocrico family greeted us every morning, and it was just wonderful seeing the hummingbirds and bananaquits. My son [11 yrs] enjoyed the books on Birds of T&T, my daughter [7] enjoyed the games, puzzles and kids books; and I had a read of one of the novels.
While we enjoyed our stay, there are a number of areas that can be addressed. Primarily, the front door to the property is a bit troublesome. It would take quite a while to get the two sets of doors to open and to close. This makes for a safety hazard in the event of an emergency. Also, when we arrived on Monday [at 4.10pm], we had to wait for the housekeeper to finish clean and make the beds. We had been informed of this before arriving there, and we were ok with it. However, we were under the impression that she'd take a mere half an hour. She didn't leave until 7pm, and only then were we able to use the rooms upstairs.
Thirdly, we did think it was unseemly to ask guests to remove their own garbage. An alternative arrangement should be made for garbage disposal.
All in all, it has been a wonderful experience. We'll be talking about the views from the house and the unremarkable breezes for a long time to come.
Thank you for having us!
