First off, with this price point, the unit is NOT going to be modern and contemporary. So with that being said, we easily saved $1k USD versus what other 5 night accommodations would have costed that were more plush and updated.
You need to align expectations with that talking point.
HIGHLIGHT REEL***The beach is semi private and 30 steps from the gated coded private entrance to 2 units [A lower&upper].
Unit came with a beach umbrella to anchor into sand which did wonders with not getting fried with intense TCI sun.
The grounds are well maintained and pool offers a lush greenscape of tropical foliage. Outside showers to get that white sand away too.
The beach itself has loungers that are high quality with a locked code very conveniently located to beachfront.
There is decent snorkeling about 100 yards at Coral Gardens Resort with Coral, Trigger fish, Parrot Fish, Grunts, and other colorful ones.
Another big talking point is the property has its own staff. Edson is there around the clock so if anything needs a fix or replacement you don't have to go far. He fixed the igniter on the BBQ grill on deck and Rose helped with taxi service and replacing a broken coffee pot.
There is a great dipping pool also with loungers if you want to pivot to house and pool setup from beach.
Owners are lovely and have owned for a long time so the setup and property is well established without any curve balls. SEMI PRO ALERT :You don't have to worry that this is a newbie listing.
We did the Thursday night fish fry [@Mr Groupers] which is about 6 minutes by taxi or 25 minutes walking. [We did walk at night and this was totally safe FWIW]
Definitely would recommend and hope to stay again! Thank you L&B for a wonderful week!
