Posted By: islandlove

Week 1 - 07/21/2017 09:54 AM

Arrived on the 15th American airlines from Bradley to Charlotte no problems. Walked in, no line, got our luggage, met Lesley outside..paperwork done in 3 minutes and we are off! Lesley you are the best!
Off to the Towers (26th year). Check-in, issue with air-condition in our room so they put us up In the penthouse for the week. Love this place and the staff! So kind all the time! Towers looks great!
Beaches: So far we have been at Karakter beach, so relaxing, food is fabulous! Chairs are comfortable. Drove over to Kontiki yesterday, turned around an left as soon as we saw how much seaweed there was on the beach. Also went to Mullet bay, my favorite beach. Friars bay was good, didn’t stay just drove down to take a look
As for Restaurants:
Pizza place behind casino royale: good
Café Atlántico: great breakfast
The Stone: amazing food!
Melange: Also amazing food!
Sunset Beach bar: Will not return for the food, absolutely not good
Taloula Mango: Great!
Karater beach: Excellent food
The Island is definitely more on the quiet side. Here for another week!

Hi, Lyn,

Sounds good so far. Hoping the airco is repaired but they left you in that penthouse unit anyway since moving is such a pain, even as easy as they make it for you. And aren't the views from up there incredible?

Enjoy the balance of your time and share as you feel like it. You know it's always appreciated by those of us who have lots of time to wait!
