Honeymoon Holiday
Review Submitted: June 29, 2009
Date of Stay: May 2009
Heron's Flight was an excellent villa to stay at. We stayed there recently for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The villa was very beautiful, accomdating, private, and met all our needs, most days we just stayed at the villa and relaxed. But there were plenty of activites available outside of the villa and we did choose to do a few.
The villa description was very accurate, although the pictures do not fully capture the beauty. The villa is built into the side of a hill so each bedroom has its own ocean view and access to the refreshing breeze (all the bedrooms are air conditioned). The kitchen was well equipped and the living room/dining area has plenty of entertainmnt - tv, dvd player, radio, games, book, magazines. The villa also had snorkel masks and fins to use at the small beach at the bottom of the hill.
The villa staff really helped make our stay easy. We rented a car from Marcus and he met us at the airport and drove us to the villa - a car and a good map were essential!. A housekeeper came every other day (or as often as you like) to do dishes, laundry, fold clothes, and just tidy up. The woman in charge of the house let us in, showed us around, helped us make dinner reservations, and provided maps and advice for travelling around.
While the pool and beach close by were so great, we did venture out to some other activities. Grand Anse Beach is a must see. We dinned at the Aquarium, the Beach House, and the Dodgy Dock, all with great food and atmosphere, and on the beach! We also drove around the island - a 3 to 4 hour extursion, and saw a waterfal and Leaper's Hill on the northern shore. We also had a tour of the Clarke's Court Distillary. Everyone we met was extrmely nice and helpful and we would recommend all of those activities. We visited in May which is not a busy tourist time of year, so some places were not open and other places we were the only visitors. That was completely fine for us, bu the locals said it is much busier September through April.
Heron's Flight was the perfect vacation spot for us. The owner was extremely helpful with helping us plan the details of our stay. This was our first vacation out of the country and she helped us prepare for customs and travel in another country. We felt very relaxed with our travels. The owner also helped us select dinner reservations and our activities. We certainly recommend Heron's Flight to anyone and we cannot wait to go back.
