Amazing stay!

We stayed here for our honeymoon! It was just a 5 minute walk to the beach. It was also a 5 minute walk into the village with lots of shops and great places to eat. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend staying here to friends!

The location is great. Right next to beach and walk to everything. Surrounded by tall buildings so there are no views but for what we needed it was perfect.

The GEM

We stayed for a long weekend at the gem property. We absolutely loved our stay! The village with many food options were within walking distance and the beach was just as close as they said. Perfect Location!!! Some of our favorite restaurants were the daiquiri deck for half price daiquiris 3-7 every day. Gillian’s island bar and grill, the hub Baja grill were also good options! Must go get doughnuts at meaneys mini doughnuts!! We also rented a golf card from robinhood rentals which was walking distance from the gem. Overall our trip was wonderful and the host was exceptional. The best part was all of the beach towels, coolers, chairs and wagons that was provided to use at the beach! We hope to be back again soon!
