Ten minutes is an average walk for those villas. The villas at the bottom may only be a 5 minute walk but the villas at the top could be close to a 15 minute walk. It’s a very steep walk back up to the villas at the top. We drove as close to the bottom as we could within the gated community so we could to prevent the steep, hot walk back up. I never felt unsafe walking to Happy Bay during the day but one should be aware wherever you are....even at home. There is a path from the villas down to the middle of Friars to Happy Bay trail.
I’ve only stayed in that area. Therefore it’s all I know and driving to everything just seemed normal to me. We always used a taxi at night...not because we felt unsafe to drive to restaurants but because of alcohol intake during the day.
