"What an island and what a place to stay!
Villa Beach Cottages is one of the most pleasant places we've stayed - all-inclusive/its relatives are not our thing. We are looking for home base, which led us here. This was such an amazing find. The cottage was clean with a well stocked kitchen we took advantage of numerous times (Massy Supermarket is .5 miles south). We have zero complaints about the lovely room or its sufficient provisions. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Look at the pictures of the beach.
This place is amazing because of its people. We like family owned places because they treat you like guests of the family and take care of anything you need. Set up a roundtrip taxi to Gros Piton the evening before? Done (if you need a taxi, ask them to get Claudius for you if he's available, he's awesome). Dinner reservations in a couple hours? Easy. Make it an hour earlier just because the kids are hungry? Yeah, they took care of that too.
The best advice for doing local things the right way? Can't beat this front desk. We primarily dealt with Nicole and Shareesa (I am embarrassed that I might be doing a disservice to one or both spellings), but everyone we came across was wonderful - the kind of people you want to tell about your day. Adela, chef at the restaurant, is one of the sweetest people we've met. Her food is some of the savoriest we've had.
Let's not forget Colin, the GM. A good soul with the gift of conversation.
We'll be back!"
