We (two late middle age couples) rented this villa for 10 nights. We're very experienced doing this, having rented all over the Caribbean as well as having owned luxury condos on the Island of St Martin. Villa Bougainvilla is a beautiful property, very well built, with a fairly complete list of amenities. The pool and hot tub areas are especially nice, with terrific views of the sunset late afternoons. Absolutely perfect with a drink in hand and some snacks. The Pedregal area is beautiful as well and very private. Even with a bachelor party renting the house next door, we had privacy and the party quieted down later in the evening--not a problem at all. Given the location, having a car is a must unless you plan to stay only at the house and not venture anywhere.
However, we did feel there are some shortcomings. The house is kept immaculate by the cleaning staff who are very nice and quite unobtrusive. But the property is getting shabby: curtains in the master bedroom have holes and tears, as do some of the sheets on the master bed. The towels are starting to fray at the edges. There are lots of chipped or mismatched dishes in various sizes. Kitchen knives are dull--some beyond use! The wifi service doesn't reach to the master bedroom from the router in the kitchen, nor is it available downstairs at all. Pictures on the wall have cracks in the glass. The recliner chair in the master bedroom is literally falling apart where it stands.
I know all this may sound a little picky, but when you're paying top dollar for a "luxury" rental, you expect luxury and this villa fell short. It won't take much to put it right, but it needs to be done. Javier is great and his wife makes a delicious and extensive breakfast which we enjoyed very much. But I think this is really an issue for the owners to address. If they plan to keep it on the rental market, a little TLC is in order.
