5/5 Excellent

"This property is not fancy, but it is clean and peaceful. The staff is excellent and the food is delicious! We spent most of the time relaxing on the gorgeous beach. It was so nice, we didn’t want to leave! Maxine, Dunkley, and Ruchelle were exceptional! I suggest bringing an extension cord, as there are not many outlets. A collapsible cooler would also be handy as there is not a refrigerator in the room. We will definitely be back!"

Sweet Escape ~the villa "Your Island Utopia" The Sweetest Escape

5/5 Excellent

Lovely spot for a family vacation

"We really enjoyed our week at Sweet Escape. The house was clean and spacious, beds were comfortable, and we loved the outdoor areas (pool, pergola, beach bed, and beach). Mark was absolutely fantastic! He made us delicious dinners and hearty breakfasts to start our day. We took care of the shopping, but he guided us at the grocery store and made recommendations. There were plenty of fun activities to do within a reasonable driving distance of the house (Black River Safari (5 min), Appleton Rum Estate (45 min), YS Falls (30 min), Pelican Bar (25 min boat ride from the house)). If you want a relaxing place away from the touristy resort areas, this is it!"
