In the Alibel Beach Villa complex there are two buildings with a pool in-between (and another building where the owners live). The apartment that we rented takes the whole first floor of one of the buildings. It’s nicely decorated in mixture typical creole style and modernity. It consists of a large living room with a kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms with showers. In the bed rooms are large, quite comfortable double beds and small wardrobes. Both bedrooms are airconditioned In the living room one can find a large sofa and a TV, but no A/C, while the dining table can be found on the large terrace. In the kitchen one can find a large fridge, a cooker, an oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher and a coffee machine Nescafe Dolce Gusto. There are also dishes, cutlery, pots etc. Before arrival we received all information from the owner, she was also to support us during our stay and let us check out late as our plane was in the evening. Upon arrival with received a welcome gift with bottle of rum, water and some food, a well as several coconuts to drink. The are some fruit trees on the domain and one can collect and eat them. For our kid the main attractions was a nice pool and turtles living by the owners’ house. The location has some advantages, for example the beach is just across the road. It’s a good beach for people with children as water is still and shallow. On the ends of the beach one can observe fish, including stingrays. There are some shops, takeaways and restaurants within few minutes of walking. If one comes by car there’s a private parking, while if by bus there’s a stop right next to the apartment.

The main challenge that we faced was an unwanted “guest”: one evening we stayed at the terrace and left the windows opened. We closed them before going to bed but were woken up at night by some noises. We woke up and found a rat in our apartment. By the signs it left it seems it was mainly spending time in the room that our kid slept. After struggling for quite some time we finally managed to make it leaving the apartment. The next day the owner responded clearing throughout the apartment, and planned to call the specialist in the rodent control. I hope she did so, but my advice would be never leave the windows open unless you spend time tight next to it. Another unwanted guest was cockroaches, fortunately the appeared in very small number, like one or two during our whole stay. Apart from that the other main challenge is the west coast road making us waking up at night from time to time. It’s passing just by the apartment, making there 90 degrees turn to bypass Canopy resort, so the cars have to slow down (breaks of some, especially trucks, are noisy), and then to accelerate (with some drivers doing it with full power). Additionally, some local drivers like to drive with playing very loudly music even in the middle of the night.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt und haben uns vom ersten Moment an pudelwohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist super und die Unterkunft wunderschön, gemütlich und ziemlich stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir wurden mit frischen Kokosnüssen und einem Korb voller Lebensmittel begrüßt. Eine wirklich total schöne und aufmerksame Geste. Vor allem möchten wir die tollen Menschen hervorheben, die in der Anlage arbeiten. Der Mitarbeiter aus dem Housekeeping, der sich auch um den Garten kümmert, war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er hat uns immer herzlich begrüßt und war sofort zur Stelle, wenn wir Unterstützung brauchten. Auch Sam hat sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert und dazu beigetragen, dass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Vielen Dank an das ganze Team, wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen 💯

Nichts, alles sehr gut.

Sam and the guys were incredibly helpful. Sam’s right hand man always very friendly and attentive. Always there at the right time. The Villa was very comfortable and there is good swimming beach right opposite plus the pool of course. Welcome after a hard day on the beach.

Unfortunately it is on the corner of quite a busy rd that can be noisy at times. If that wasn’t there it would have been perfect. Try and get a villa as far away as possible.

Very convenient location to visit the south of the island. Nice appartement and shared swimming pool. Very friendly host, welcomed with a few gifts; easy to communicate with.
