Not knowledgeable at all about your Nettle Baie property questions but I can only reemphasize what Pony has already stated - Jeannie and her Shop And Drop grocery service is absolutely worth using, and absolutely if you're like me and can't stand grocery shopping anywhere, but particularly NOT on vacation, her service is even better yet. We've used her twice a year each year since she opened her business and will happily be doing so again in a few more weeks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I could be wrong, but I don't think it is a RESORT. I thought they were all privately owned units.
What are 'wish lanterns'??

Are you staying on the lagoon side or the ocean side in Baie Nettle?
I'm not really aware of resorts providing loungers/floats - free or rental - for the pool or ocean though I do think I've seen a beach concession stand somewhere that had them available for rent, now that I think about it - possibly at Grand Case Beach Club? Not saying they do or don't - but you do occasionally see the styro noodles floating around the different pool areas and up for grabs, if that helps.
And most of the beaches do have chaise lounges and umbrellas available for rent.
Good choice on Jeannie - even if you don't plan on eating in a lot - I would recommend her breakfast fare - coffee, juice, fresh fruit and baguettes and pastries to die for from Serafinas. Yummy - what a way to start the day!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Robert,
This is purely MY PERSONAL OPINION and I'm sure many might disagree with me, but I don't even consider Dreams beach on my list of beaching days destination beaches. That said, we'd far prefer beaching at Mullet, or Simpson Bay or Orient or Friars if we felt like driving a little further. BUT it's awesome there for sunning because they have possibly the most comfy beach furniture on the island and the beach staff is wonderfully attentive and accommodating.
The food is wonderful from their salads to the pizzas and paninis and burgers and right through their extensive menu of full course lunches and dinners as well as desserts.
The drinks are great and the wine list, I'm told, is awesome and they even have a non-alcoholic beer if that's your preference.
And all the above at all different price levels so you're sure to find something both enjoyable and affordable.
But the beach itself isn't equal to a Mullett, Orient or Simpson Bay beach. There are always swimmers in the water there but usually a lot more lunching and relaxing and we would be among the latter since in all our trips since Dreams opened I don't think either of us has actually made it into the water. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

The entrance to the water there is very rocky so if you use water sandals you will be fine.

I don't know the Allens from Brookfield but I'm sure Brookfield's loss is your gain.
And don't take wrong my opinions re Dreams Beach and beaching there the wrong way, please. Many do enjoy going in and out as you suggest, but it just isn't a preferred beach for me but OMgoodness - is lunch there ever delicious! Furnishings, food and libations often out-weigh it's lack of swimmability and we always have a good time but there are some days when it's just too rough for my taste and access mobility given my height challenges and short legs... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
