Yes, indeed, Beerman, those are MY Beachside Villas. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> Those sunset shots surely bring a lump to my throat! Sorry you didn't get to explore BSV in detail, but Karakter is certainly a lovely place to eat and drink and sun, for sure! As someone else said, the only other bar option on that section of Simpson Bay Beach is Mary's Boon, right next door, and they don't have a beach bar.
