Luxury, thanks for sharing this. I've been intrigued by this property for some time. Your posts indicate that you are quite a discerning traveler and I appreciate your detailed observations.
I've been lured by seductive marketing by a number of Caribbean properties, but yet to find one that I would return to. I am often frustrated by what i consider to be a universal laissez-faire approach to service throughout the region.

You are much more optimistic than I would be on a matter like this. I would go so far as to say this would be revolutionary for the region if something changes.
The only reason I consider the Caribbean is the proximity to the States. When I hear of people from Europe considering a visit, my default is to suggest they travel to Thailand or Bali instead. For me, the flight difference is significant...coming from Oslo, less of a difference!
I look forward to your photos and have a funny feeling I will try this property out...
