We finally came back to our paradise after missing a year. At the end of February, we got on Jet Blue, landed on time and went right to Best Deal for our car. We were quite anxious as we pulled into the parking lot of the newly rebuilt Horny Toad. Just have to say that Deb and Doug did a wonderful job. It kept the looks and charm of the original Toad, new and updated now. The beaches still look great. Cupecoy is back with sand - at least it was last week. Mullet, Bay Plum and Simpson Bay all in good shape. Still have many more beaches to check out. As far as restaurants go, The Palm, Moulin Fou, Bavaria, Dingy Dock and whatever else that I forgot, all had great food. The island seems to be coming back, looking green and healthy. The worst sight was looking at the space that Lee’s once occupied. That’s a story for another time. We have a lot more to go and see. Can’t wait for our next adventure.

Thanks for the report. Going to check out the Toad in a few days and have a November stay booked. One of my favorite places on the island.

Enjoy your stay! How much longer do you have on island? And tell them they need to put pictures of the rooms on the Horny Toad website!!

How do the new units compare to the old? It sounds like they are closer in size now but the end units are still a little larger from what Deb described. We have not stayed there in a few years but I do stop by every year for a visit. I am dropping off our deposit sometime next week. Good to hear you like it.

Mike--I know the old units were all very different from each other, so perhaps that was why there were not pictures before, but now I guess they are pretty much the same? Do mention it to them. I have to think it will be helpful to them, and to their customers.

Do they have King beds now? Is the little pool still there? They never had a little pool that I am aware of and as far as I know, they always had king beds in the rooms.

I'm thinking now that maybe she has it confused with that one other place on the beach, whose name escapes me at the moment. Azure??
