If they want upscale, French side, I would say either Le Petit Hotel or L'Esplanade, although I can't say whether either of them would rent only one day, and they might be full already.

If they want accommodations on the beach I would recommend ElZafiro and suggest they check the typical discount sites for specials. We needed two extra nights a few trips back and we found a great deal there which EZ matched for us, and the deal included full breakfasts which were very good, too! It’s not what I’d call ‘up-scale’ in the sense of LaSamana or LePetite but it was very clean, lovely staff and on Simpson Bay Beach for great beach walks. We enjoyed the convenience of the restaurant for drinks and lunches if we were of a mind......
Respectfully,

Here's another vote for the travel sites. One can waste a lot of time calling individual places to see if openings exist. Shop the sites & then call/contact your choice directly to book. They might even get a better deal after explaining their situation. Since the island is slow in mid-October, quite a few places will probably have openings. Travelocity shows 5-6 great places for Oct. 15.

That time of year they should have a lot of options, some mentioned above but it all depends upon their budget. They might even decide to add a night or pay to have an extra late check out so they are not pressed to move out early and not be able to check into the villa until later. All depends upon their budget and what they want. Way too many options to list without more detail on what they are looking for. We have done some last minute deals and stayed at places like Porto Cupecoy or Blue Marine for bargain prices which at that time of year they should be able to get. I would add, the rate listed on VRBO is an asking price, off season they will often negotiate. Cheers, T

I dunno Carol...I think bran is quite smitten too! He's looking at last minute airfares to go back despite all the negatives he listed in another thread... lol Tongue in cheek on the negatives...sure you realized that. Yes, smitten, bitten, (rhymes with Kitten) is correct. Because of the difficulty we had last time due to my wife’s illness, she is much better now, I’m making the excuse that we need to go back and celebrate 45 years of marriage and have a proper untroubled vacation(again) plus it’s my Birthday on Friday. Totally excessive, totally impractical and totally doable..lol. Working on it!!!
