Post by greyhoundmom »

Anyone stayed in the past few weeks? Just wondering about your experience. We are 3 weeks out.

We were there until May 1. Where are you staying?

We went to the Nature Trail there, which was cute, but not very long.

We never made it to the actual bay in Fish Bay. I would have loved to hike to the beach (I think Cocoloba), but didn't think my two little ones could handle it.

Also would have loved to drive to the end over to the Reef Bay area. We saw the view from Skytop and thought it was fantastic. Saw the White Cliffs through to Ram's Head.

Staying at Calypso Cove. Definitely want to do Cocoloba. Just hoping it won't be too buggy right on the bay.

Calypso Cove is right as soon as you enter Fish Bay. There is a sign that says Estate Fish Bay, and Calypso Cove is right there on the water. Easy parking I think. You'll pass by Ditleff Point to get there and there are some "corkscrews" in the road before you get there, just go slow and be careful.

There is a review either on this forum or Trip Advisor that said they had crabs in the pool in the morning. And the bay is supposed to be a baby shark nursery. I think the villa may come with kayaks for exploring the bay, which seems like it would be fantastic to me.

You will have to keep driving around Fish Bay Rd to find the Nature Walk, the entrance to Skytop, and to get to the pier to hike to Cocoloba. We stayed off Caribe Rd, which is the second street you will drive past.

We liked the area and our view was great. Hope you have a great time and post a review when you return, I'd love to hear if you enjoyed the villa. :)

Thanks for all the info! Especially GTGA! Can't wait to go and wade around in the shark nursery! I'm sure the grads will love the two kayaks.
