My boyfriend and I stayed in Sea Grape for a week and it was easily the best vacation we've ever taken. The villas are private, comfortable, and so close to the water. We went snorkeling (by flagging down Famous Vincent from the spot that we spent our afternoons swimming, lounging, and exploring the crystal clear water all around us.) The staff is so accommodating and friendly, but completely give you your space. They're there when you need them (like to ask for snorkeling gear, order food from Juicy, or ask about getting a cab) but completely give you your privacy when you don't.
AC in the bedroom was great for at night, we exclusively used the outdoor shower (why would you ever choose and indoor one when you can rinse off in the sunlight surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers??), and the mosquitos were completely manageable with bug spray.
We went on a couple day trips, one down to the "7 mile beach" which was fun for a day, but we found ourselves missing the natural and private cliffside by our villa. We also went to the Blue Hole Mineral Spring which was about 30 minutes away via taxi through the farm lands. The spring is 30 feet down and at the bottom you can covered yourself in exfoliating limestone. The staff there was also really friendly and helpful, and we had read online that they would take you to a near by ganja field if you asked-- they did! We tipped them after, both for the tour and also for their general hospitality. Definitely recommend the mineral spring for a day trip.
For food, we would walk in either direction from the villa and find multiple options. Since we were there in the off-season, we often found ourselves talking and hanging out with the restaurant owners after our meals. Was such a cool experience to hear from and get to know the awesome business owners of the neighborhood.
We cannot WAIT to go back to Sea Grape Villas.
