We loved our visit here. We had a group of 6 friends for a little over a week in late March. (We way underutilized the space.) Perfect time of year. Steady (sometimes quite substantial) breezes at the house protected against both bugs and excessive heat. We loved the privacy, larger-than-usual pool, open-to-the-outdoor design, and great views from the house. We like to eat in, and the kitchen served us well. The rooms, situated around a central, open garden with doors opening to the outside, were all comfortable and private, each featuring a different lovely view. The bench overlooking the inland bay was wonderful for watching the sunrise, while the poolside seating served us well at sunset.
The house itself offered just the retreat we were looking for. But some recommendations for adventures away: If you're looking to hike, Mt. Christoffel is great. Check the hours-- when we went the latest they would allow you to start (due to the heat) was 10 am. We slid in right at the wire, making for a hot hike, but we had the pinnacle to ourselves when we got there. After searching much of the western part of the island for the best beach (meaning not too crowded, relatively decent snorkeling, and pretty), we concluded that Daaibooi Baai, right next to the Coral Estates neighborhood, was the best. And a highlight for many was the cliff you can jump off of at Playa Forti (look it up online). Enjoy!
