Our holiday was booked with a few days notice, from the internet and a last minute flight from Virgin. Although I had my reservations at the time of booking, 3 days before flying, this holiday, unplanned, turned out to be one of the best.
Donna & Mark provided sufficient knowledge and assurance before, during and post holiday to ensure us any future bookings can be made with confidence.
Our 8 year old son has special needs and most people would have not embarked on an 8 hour flight, plus a 3 hour anticipated check-in. However, Virgin was superb giving us Special Assistance and allowing us to arrive just 90 minutes before take off and allowed us to board first or last.
Our daughter (13) and son (8) loved the apartment, with ample space to do their own thing and a great balcony to watch the waves and boats on the south coast, during meal times and those hot periods throughout the day.
Aircon in both bedrooms was a welcome relief for those hot humid evenings. A short 20 minute blast was enough to ensure a good nights sleep.
The acoustics throughout the apartment were fantastic, we thought we had the pool and private beach to ourselves. Even with the closest bar, no more than 50 metres away, the waves breaking and sea breeze kept even the loudest music at bay. A very pleasant surprise.
The living area was ideal, ample seating, eating, dining and storage space. We spent 2 weeks here and would have no hesitation returning.
You have the option of eating out in St Lawrence gap, taking a bus or taxi to Holetown or hiring a car for a supermarket trip to Warrens or Holetown, where most ingredients can be found. However, we would recommend taking a trip to PEG Farm to source really good value organic meat, fruit and vegetables.
The pool and garden is kept immaculate. Really nice place to cool off during the day or evening. We saw humming birds and frigate birds from the balcony, lizards on the bushes and turtles would swim across the rocks in front of the private beach (no walkable public access to the beach).
Don't bother with the tourists traps, take a snorkel and just walk 5 minutes to either Worthing or Dover beach, during low tide and watch the fish and turtles. We were privileged to snorkel with green, loggerhead and hawksbill turtles during our stay ... you just have to look for them.
The wifi during the evenings was used regularly for planning and security was assured with electronic gates and doors.
A superb holiday - a great apartment.
