@AnnieIt was quite lovely there..... ....This was actually my first experience going out of the country, so I really don't have much to compare the beaches to.... ...But where we stayed at (The Landings) had a private beach........And it was very clean..... .....White sand with clear turquoise water (semi chilly water temperature)........Pretty sweet snorkeling with colorful tropical fish..... ....Yachts and Catamarans from all over (especially France, Amsterdam and Britain) were all docked all around..... .....{ My hubb and I actually took a kayacht and went out and about to get a closer look at all the ballin' *** boats.....} .....The day temps were around 82 with a nice breeze........And our resort had mad security all around, just so that everyone felt comfortable...... .....The staff, and our villa, were just exceptional..... .....But you also have to remember that there are some parts of the island that are still pretty rough.........People living in literally shacks..........It is a third world country after-all.........But the people that we met and came across were all super friendly and cool..... ....We actually had a rental car and drove all around the island by ourselves..... ...All in all - a very cool experience..... 4951
