Haven
Review Submitted: January 17, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2008
I went in October half term and the weather was luxurious, despite it not being high season. I am in my late teens, and Villa Sounion is a perfect escape from schools and exams. The view is phenomenal and you are lost within it; the weather hot but not overwhelmingly humid ( so you are guaranteed a tan) and the snorkeling is unbeatable because the coral is untouched. At night the stars glisten vividly and i could spend hours on the dock, relaxing in the darkness.
If you are looking for fun in the villa, it is a great house to have friends with you. The house is so open and you can plug your ipod into the stereo - blasting your favourite music everywhere in the house. You feel like you are at MTV cribs party! The pool lights up at night, inviting you for a fun midnight swim, while everyone congregates for a night time party on the patio, with homemade cocktails.
Although, if you are desperate to escape the villa, there are water sports, banana boats, and para-sailing all at grace bay. Also having experienced the diving: if you are able to, it is a must!
There are some fantastic restaurants, for both picky and adventurous tastes.
Should it be a concern, both the internet and the television are carefree, so you can experience this whilst being in contact with civilisation. For the children especially, there is a wide range of channels to choose from.
Villa Sounion really is perfect. It is pleasing for both those who want to relax, and for those who want to explore the real Caribbean.
Owner's Response: Villa Sounion is popular with families due to dispersed layout of the bedrooms, but this works equally well for groups of adults! I have 4 children and they have been visiting the house since the youngest was 3.5 (now 10 years old) and the eldest was 10, so I have plenty of tips for activities for children.
