Bouillante

"We were three couples who stayed in Villa Tangara, part of Villa BouBou. We had a great time at this wonderful house with four bedrooms (each with its own bathroom). The backyard that extended to the lagoon and the sea was awesome! We spent hours relaxing there and enjoying the water. Since the house is near the marina and a public beach, we had a constant view of windsurfers and para-sailers--wonderful to watch. There were also three kayaks for our use. The kitchen was clean, nicely appointed and very well stocked, and the house had all the modern conveniences and a Weber grill. The housekeeper was very nice and the gardeners were attentive. Nicole, the property manager was lovely and extremely responsive to our questions. She made sure someone met us at the airport and brought us to the house, and she arranged for a tour for our group when we wanted a day out. If we needed something or had a question, she was quick to reply in email or to send someone to the house. This is a great house for maybe 2 families or up to 4 couples. Unfortunately, the week we were there, the golf cart was out for repairs, so we didn't get the use of that, but the town is only 15 minutes away, walking, and there are two bikes at the house. St. Francois has a supermarket, and we were able to do shopping and bring things back on the bike with a basket. We would strongly recommend the Villa Tangara as a great house for a relaxing, enjoyable vacation."
