Some years ago there appeared articles of the “Best Beach Bars in the Caribbean” genre, sourced apparently from the web, with “borrowed “‘photos, written by armchair travelers who hadn’t set foot on the beaches. I recall Walker having to go after one.

That came to mind when I read this. We are on our seventh post-Irma trip, many of those long visits, and Da Loose Mongoose has not had a dock, beach bar or indeed anything since Irma. That is not something you could see and mistake.

It’s fair enough to have trusted reporters, but otherwise, yeah TTOL is way more useful than a misleading guide.
