SO relaxing and low-key. Just what we were looking for, the beach and reef is great, a little rocky and some turtle grass, not 7 mile beach, but that's what we were looking for, laid back and quiet, we were NOT looking for something like Ft. Lauderdale or South Beach with a ton of people etc. That side of the island had some interesting things to do bedsides the beach. We saw the Crystal Caverns, Queen's Botanical Gardens, a Parrot Sanctuary...all close by. Depends on what you're looking for, we were not looking for fancy restaurants, nightlife and shopping so it was perfect for us! Great communication with the host.
