Magical Paradise Experiences from the Lilac Room

Our stay was beautiful and relaxing. It was an experience like no other. Being surrounded by nature , the ocean, and the lush trees and flowers, made for a memorable, peaceful, and rejuvenating paradise experience. We were taken aback by the beauty of this jewel, but most importantly, we felt welcomed and at-home b/c of the friendly , courteous, and kindness of our hostesses. It was a magical experience and we will never forget it. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us and especially for having a sanctuary for its rare wildlife, plant life, and the preservation of our oceans.

8/10 Very good

Pretty, quaint little house walk to Cap Esplanade

This is a pretty, quaint, very clean, property. We were in the Holiday House, which is a separate little house with full kitchen and deck. Easy, close, walk to the Esplanade. The drawbacks in the house is that the pillows are like a flat sponge. There is no cushion or fluff to them. The linens are washed with a fragrance detergent or maybe fabric softener, so if you are sensitive to that, be aware. The many windows are covered with wood blinds and shear curtains, but you will wake up at dawn with all the light coming in, so bring an eye cover, lol.
