Getting around

Concerning directions it's very easy: just go to Silver Sands Hotel, everybody knows it; just opposite to the main entrance of the Hotel you take the first right turn (there is a big light pole with our sign of Blue Ocean Cottage named on it) then you keep straight, pass an orange Bar (the Pirate's Tavern), a curve to the right and then the second building on the right side of the rooad is our Sweet Jewel Apartments; you cannot miss us because it's the only white property with just the ground floor and few Coconut and Royal Palms. For any other doubt click on this link below on our web-site of Google Earth, it's the second image of the page (the first belongs to our Blue Ocean Cottage which is 50 meters forward:

Response from the owner Hello Caryn, Thank you very much for your excellent review! Yes it's true in December and January you can find also waves, but this is entirely depending on the wind and swell directions if the trade winds are blowing strong. We also have many months of the year, from March till November, during which we can have flat water without any wave and better for swimming. We are very happy that you appreciated our professionality and we really hope to meet you again in the next future with your family as you told us.
