Good morning to all! Trying to decide on a villa for a return trip in 2 months. Does anybody have any experience or info on Fun and Contentment,Coral Bay or Isla Tesoro,Calabash Boom or the Calabash Boom area in general? Seems like a tough decision now but I know once I get there it won't even matter! Thanks!!

We stayed at F&C this past July for our honeymoon. Absolutly loved it! It's a newer villa (built in '08 I think) and everything was in good shape. The driveway is an "advanture" but not too bad; kinda fun. The views from the deck are amazing! You won't be disappointed.

I don't remember there being any. The deck is pretty much wide open.

Is the road to Calabash Boom steep & unpaved? Maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you! Now is the struggle of trying to figure out when we can afford to return to STJ. Just wondering; is it REQUIRED that all newlyweds be broke?
