Unforgettable Honeymoon
This was my 2nd visit to the Friendly Island, but my newly wed husband’s first. I couldn’t think of a more romantic spot to spend our honeymoon and I think my husband would agree…The views are absolutely amazing. Thank you for allowing us to share in the Hope Villa experience; it will be one we will never forget!!
Beautiful View of the Bay
The place was amazing. It is located at the very top of a steep hill. It takes a few minutes to drive up the road from the gate, so be prepared for a fun ride up and down the hills. This is typical for an island property with beautiful views, so take it for what it is. We definitely enjoyed the seclusion of the location. There are neighbors but none close enough to interfere with taking a plunge in the pool or walking without a bathing suit. It has two very beautifully remodeled bathrooms. The rooms are very large and the balcony across the entire back with the pool are just fabulous. There is a propane grill where we cooked fresh fish and seafood. The kitchen is fully stocked. Great place to stay for a couple.
