Our extended family of 13 (9 adults and 4 children - ages 14, 12, 9, and 7) just spent a week at Coral Vista, and had an amazing time!
The company Arcadian Adventures was wonderful to work with from the moment we booked.
Our host, Megan, was easy to get ahold of and any requests/questions we had were immediately tended to.
The view & private beach were spectacular! We loved the quietness of the North Side, but were happy that it was easy to get to any part of the island. You will definitely want to rent a vehicle. We found there was plenty of accommodations near the house where we didn’t feel like we needed to go far to get what we needed.
Our favorites were starfish beach, the turtle farm, the dolphin discovery center, and of course our private boat trip to stingray city, the mangrove forest, snorkeling, and learning all about the conch.
The Coral Vista house was very clean upon arrival. We loved all the bathrooms, bed options, two refrigerators, the large kitchen with two dishwashers, and three ovens. Such a great house to accommodate a large group of families. We all felt we had privacy as needed but also felt connected and close all week.
You will want water shoes and snorkel gear if you want to go in the water. While there are some provided, we felt all the gear and shoes were old, broken, or needed a deeper cleaning. Some snorkel gear had mold in it. But if asked I’m sure the host would be sure provide needed items. Overall, we would highly recommend Coral Vista!!
