Has anyone stayed here?

I haven't stayed at Kalorama nor La Bella Vita but we did tour them when I was there in February. We were considering them for our May trip but choose Abrigado instead.

Bryan's description of Kaloram is dead on - it's an amazing villa! La Bella Vita is gorgeous too with wonderful views. I love the floor plan of La Bella Vita - it has 4 bedrooms that are all detached from the great room thereby ensuring privacy. My husband was not as thrilled with it because the quality of the construction was not top notch -the sliding glass doors were low quality and failing, the tile on the outside was the photo-finish kind. He's very picky but I loved it.

Virgin Grand Estates is a great location to stay. We'll be there in 19 days - yippee!

I do also highly recommend Ted's Supper Club - Ted is an amazing chef and a great guy.

Good luck with your decision.

Hi Nancy - How did you like Abrigado? It fits all of our group's requirements except for the hot tub.

We loved Abrigado. My only caveat is that it's not 4 equal bedrooms. Is your group all couples? There are 2 gorgeous master bedrooms with king size beds and great views. One up and one downstairs. The other 2 bedrooms are right behind each of these bedroom so new views and they have 2 full beds. We had a group of 3 couples who knew one would be in a room with 2 beds and they still loved it. The feel of the villa is more modern and not open air (it's completely air conditioned). The outside living space is great (we actually re-arranged the furniture under the gazebo so I wonder if it's still the way we left it). The mosquitos were horrible when we were there due to all the rain so we spent less time outside then we normally would have. Kitchen is well equipped with anything you could need.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
