Would you live next to a runway at home. NO. I mean 50 feet away! Why would you on vacation? Your sleeping at 7am and a plane feels like it's going through your apartment as it takes off. I stayed in a villa on Simpson Bay. Never again like Contessa said. Cupecoy has one of the most beautiful beaches, where we stay is beautiful and does not feel like Miami. There are several non high rise acccomadations, Cupecoy beach club, Tradewinds, and very nice places to eat...The Towers at Mullet Bay and Porto Cupecoy are also very nice!
