The pool looks a tad small or am I mistaken? The beach looks fantastic. Was it very hot in June?

Pool is quite small (and 5 foot deep) but who needs that when you have the whole Caribbean Sea in front of you?

We used it a couple of times as a 'plunge pool' when we couldn't be bothered to get sand between our toes, as it was right below our Cottage.

Hot? What's your definition of hot? We are happy in Phoenix, AZ, when it's 110ºF plus

ANU was usually around the 85ºF mark (about 30ºc), moderated by a quite brisk breeze at times (or just resolved by getting in the ocean for a few minutes

)
It really was a very benign temperature [for us].

+1 for the benefits of Kindle, Uncle T !

I've never done the Caribbean, properly that is, as I don't include a Western Caribbean cruise in the 1990s. Thanks for the TR, and it does mean I might start planning a trip for next year...

We stayed along from you- at Jolly Harbour villas. We did hire a car and enjoyed exploring the many beautiful beaches. Maps are not that great but there are always friendly locals to point you in the right direction.

Correct you are! I should have mentioned that: no Buffet here! Everything cooked to order, and with a reasonable choice. I only took one [OK, 2] Menu Photos ...
