We'll be staying at Idyllic next month. When are you looking at going? I can tell you all about it when I get back.

Hoping for July....if I can get right villa and the airfare to cooperate!! I read somewhere that Idyllic had inside stairway to Master BR? Do you know if that is the case or if you need to go outside to access?

There are two bedroooms on the main level, and the one that is considered the "master" is on the lower level. That is accessed by outside stairs. I think it is called the master because it has a sitting area, its own patio and a kitchenette. The washer/Dryer is also down there.

When we went in 2008, one of the couples that went with us stayed at Hibiscus Gardens. The two bedrooms are identical, AC'd, both accessed inside and very nice; perfect if you have a child with you. The living area is really nice with a beautiful kitchen. The living area is not AC'd but they have big fans and lots of sliders which helped. They said it cooled down nicely at night. I think the sofa is a sleeper as well. The gardens and outdoor living space are great. Lots of covered deck space. Pool is small and was a little chilly for my taste when we were there in June 08. If full AC isn't important to you, I think you will love this villa.

We stayed at Hibiscus Gardens last May and we really enjoyed it. We would have stayed again this year had it been available. I was travelling with my husband and 3 year old son. I thought the villa was nicer than the pictures. It had everything you could possibly need. The pool is now heated so we spent *alot* of time in the pool, even in to the late evening.

The only things that I didn't love is that the parking is above the villa so it was a set of stairs each time you arrived/left the villa. Doesn't sound like a big deal but it's not so fun when you're towing a 3 year old and all the beach gear. I also didn't love the view towards the Westin. My husband thought it was fine but I would have preferred looking outwards.

I might have some pictures I can post if you're interested.
