For a few in our group this was a return trip to Three Dolphins. Prior trip was nine years ago, prior to the new owners and renovations. We enjoyed our stay then, but absolutely loved our stay this time around!
The Planning:
Steve and Lisa were exceptional in their communication. Responsive, detailed and had a knack for building excitement for our pending trip. Lisa provided a list of must try area activities and restaurants for our planning purposes. They even connected us with a gym so a couple of the gymnasts in our group could continue to train while on vacation.
The Arrival:
Rita, the Property Manager, met both groups in our party at both the airport and ferry terminal to escort us back to the villa and ensure a smooth rental car process. Arriving at the villa, we immediately fell in love with the incredible views, the quality of the well maintained villa itself and johnny cakes prepared for our arrival. Rita took the time to show us the property and introduce us to Kathleen and Cindy, who would not only straighten up around us and provide us freshly made beds to climb in every night, but would become our new friends.
The Stay:
The renovations Steve and Lisa have completed on Three Dolphins are incredible, from the landscaping to the outdoor living spaces, beyond our expectations. The villa is well appointed and had everything our group of 12 (6 adults and 6 teenagers) needed. Kitchen was well appointed and we utilized the grill on a regular basis. The wifi supported the teenagers, maybe a little too well for us parents liking... haha. The A/C units in each bedroom area, kitchen and cabana house were perfect for individual preferences. We all loved the pool and the bluetooth speakers. We always felt safe, both at the villa and on island. Cindy and Kathleen adjusted their schedules to work around our preferences, which was appreciated. Rita and her Aunt Marie provided us an authentic Anguillan dinner one evening, it was delicious! Even a few non fish eaters enjoyed the Mahi Mahi. Our daily struggle was determining whether to go to the one of the beautiful beaches on the island or stay at the villa and enjoy rum punches around the pool. We did a little of both most days.
The Leaving:
We thought about exercising our possession is 9/10ths of the law rule and staying. But we all agreed a place as special as Three Dolphins needs to be shared! We will definitely be back! Thank you Steve and Lisa for sharing!
