SIBOULI: 6-person apartment with swimming pool

This is a hard one for us to rate. We are an older couple in our 70's and this was not an ideal place for us. Still, it is in a pretty setting, nice view of the ocean and reasonable comfortable. We had a couple of issues, the largest being the hot water heater for the shower failed and we did not have hot showers for 4 of our 7 days there. A new one was installed so presumably this will not be an issue in the future. The drive is very difficult to navigate, and a higher clearance all wheel drive vehicle is pretty much a necessity. GO SLOW. We damaged our rental when I failed to negotiate the drive properly...my fault, but beware! The location is not near many eating places, which are 15-20 minutes away, which was a negative for us.

Host is very excellent with communication. Quick response to questions and accommodating. Location is secluded, but also within close vicinity of hiking and scuba/snorkel destinations.If you are driving a vehicle yourself, 4x4 is highly recommend.

We stayed 2 weeks with our family of 5. Very cozy and spacious house and porche. Kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed the garden, and the gardener and housekeeper Peter and Hilroy were very caring and pleasant hosts. The environment is beautiful and quiet, with good mountain breezes and only few musquitos. Nice and clean swimming pool, very relaxed.Pointe Michel is a neat village, nice lay out, and best bakes at Joy's Snackette. We forgot to visit the local restaurant, but I definitely want to recommend Drop Anchor in Newtown, at the seaside. Only comment I should make is that in the same building there are two separate apartments, for 2-3 people. (downstairs and next door) This is not mentioned in the ad and it could lead to some reduced privacy.

Place needs a few upgrades but overall a decent place to stay. Shower hot water was always an issue and washing dishes with cold water seems unsanitary. Dogs are really friendly and just want to be rubbed all over. Overall I would stay again.
