You may want to check a few things with the owner before booking
I am giving a 5 star to the owner for trying to help, but unfortunately only a 2 stars for the property. The bedding and bathroom were clean and good. The description and the pictures are extremely misleading. There are no 3 Queen Beds and 1 Twin bed, but 2 twin beds. There is no internet in the bedroom, and even in the: "main lodge open room” internet is only connected when the owner connects it via his phone (tethering), and I suppose that he must have a limited amount of data as the internet very quickly became extremely slow, barely useful for e-mails and useless for any web surfing research or to book your next stay or anything else (he told us that he realizes that it is very bad and he will change that). The light in the bedroom is extremely weak and you need a flash light to look for anything in your suitcase after dark. The pool was empty, and should have been repaired a few days after we were scheduled to leave, but I think I also read that in another review… There are only 2 or 3 outlets in the bedroom and not enough to recharge camera and computer batteries for 2 people, but you can ask the owner for a power bar and he will gladly oblige.
There are no 2 restaurants and not even 1. Apparently the one beside “the pool” was badly damaged by the hurricane 2 years ago and never repaired, and the other one was just not available as the owner’s wife (the cook) was away for a month. The closest restaurant was 1km away, luckily we had a car, otherwise, for people who don’t have a car, that’s a long walk back and forth!
If none of the above mentioned things are important for you, then your stay could be nice, the owner is very helpful and does his best to accommodate under the conditions. But if any of the above is important for you, then you may want to contact him directly (his English is relatively good) and make sure that they will be repaired or in place when you arrive.
