We have basic Internet for email and some steaming of your subscriptions such as Netflix, Amazon prime, CBS, NBC, etc. We hope for cable and phone restoration by early summer but have already adjusted our rates based on this missing amenity.

Had a great 4 night stay. The view from porch was fantastic, very close to Mims restaurant, Scuba St.Thomas and Balongo Bay. We were missing the cooler so I called Scott and he brought it over that night. Could use some new beach towels and beach chairs would have been nice, other than that it was a great stay!!!!

First and foremost, this place is called Watergate villa, not Playa Linda. The communication could have been better if the host of this condo states that this is the private condo, not the hotel. And give us better communication of how the room access will be. My boyfriend was waiting outside thinking there is a hotel front desk so that he could look for. I did not fly till 2 days later and I was busy with work so I did not help him right away to get with support team of the app Vbro or Expedia. He finally got in and the room is located at bottom floor of apartment complex, the pool is right outside our unit and Mim's restaurant is just walking distance. The room is old but has enough amenities: microwave and fridge are working so that bring us a breeze. The drainage of the bathroom was filthy with a lot of hair. I felt bad for my bf that had to use it for two days before I arrived. I had to use my hands to clear all of those hair so that water was not overflow to the floor of the bathroom. The stay overall is good but could have been better with facts.

This was exactly what we were looking for! It was a perfect little studio apartment with essentials for the week. We stayed with our little one (brought our own pack and play) and were able to cook some meals in. Breakfast and coffee on the patio was lovely, but watch for the iguanas. They aren't aggressive, but could be quite a shock if you don't see one sneak up for a dropped blueberry or two. This place has the most BEAUTIFUL view! Scott was very responsive when Expedia didn't forward the emails correctly, and he even let us in a little early. I do highly suggest having a car. Other than the 2 restaurants, most things to enjoy on the island are not walkable, including the grocery store. You'll want to visit ALL of the beautiful beaches! There were 2 chairs, a basic cooler, and 3 beach towels to make your beach day a little more enjoyable.

we have vacationed at the condos for 4 years. we always enjoy the pool and location and recommend anyone to stay here. we have been spoiled with past units that had beach accessories and would have loved that but other than that our stay here was very comfy. if
