Our second stay at Emerald Pearl, and somehow it was even better than the first — which we didn’t think was possible. We will absolutely be back again, with any luck.The villa caters for every need, striking that rare balance of feeling both special and completely homely. We spent many evenings dining in, making full use of the BBQ, outdoor kitchen and excellent facilities.It was perfect for hosting friends and family, as well as enjoying quieter days by the pool. One of our favourite rituals was wandering across the road (literally a one-minute walk) to the beach to watch the sunset, cocktail in hand.A special mention to Denise, who was wonderful — bringing fresh flowers and adding a real personal touch. The gardener and pool cleaners were equally diligent, quietly ensuring everything was just right.Louise and James communicated with us throughout, from our initial enquiry to the moment we arrived back in the UK, making us feel very well looked after.Our sons (11 and 14) loved it, and the villa is perfectly located for exploring the island — though it’s hard to leave. A truly special place we feel very lucky to have found.
