We came for some sun and peace by the pool, and had a wonderful stay. The house is 100 years old and charming, with good modern bathrooms. The grounds are lovely, with tropical plants and resident canaries. We particularly enjoyed the barbeque area above the pool for breakfast in the sun, and evening meals.
The owner was off island on our arrival, but made sure we were met and guided to the house, which otherwise might have been difficult to find in the dark. He also provides a good guide to the island, including restaurants and supermarkets a short drive away.
In the third week of October, daytime temperatures were between 21 and 25, tending to cloud over in the afternoons. We had one wet day, perfect to go to the Siam Waterpark, much enjoyed by our 3 teenagers.
