I am renting a villa with no internet access and will be staying in the Coral Bay area. Is there somewhere I can go for access? Can I get access anywhere without bringing my own laptop, by using their computer?

Connections has a location in Coral Bay. Check their site and see if they have computers to use there, I bet they do! We used them in Cruz Bay.

There are definitely computers with internet at Connections in Coral Bay. My place restructured while I was on vacation last June and I used those computers to see if I got downsized. (Nope!).

Connections Coral Bay is right by Skinnys. Their prices are cheap too, I can't remember the exact amount, but it's not very much.

A Blackberry works well there if that's an option for you.

Thanks! It looks like plenty of options, I'm facing lugging the laptop to maintain the work fires here. That's ok, I'll just email gorgeous photos along to cold new englanders ;)

Thanks for all your responses. Now I have to decide if I am taking my laptop or not. I may be able to get by with just checking email every other day on one of the computers on the island. I hate to take the extra luggage.

6 more days to go... :D

I used the comuters at Deli Grotto last year also.

Very reasonable, something like $3 for 15 minutes.

Keep Us Posted is a little mail box business next to Aqua Bistro in the Cocolobo center and they also have Internet access. It was $2.00 for 15 minutes. I used them last year to post a couple of live reports. I was welcome to bring my beer with me from Aqua Bistro, which sealed the deal with me for my computer usage.
