My wife and I stayed here in April of 2007. We loved everything about it. We awoke our first morning there to see a vervet monkey out in the yard. We started each day (usually at sunrise) out at the gazebo having our coffee and watching the waves from the Atlantic roll in. After this I would go for a run or walk and explore the surrounding area. Timothy Hill is a short distance away and offers breathtaking views. From this vantage point you can see both the Altantic and Carribean Oceans. Following my physical activity we would hang out at the pool and decide where, if anywhere, we would go for the day. We found excellent snorkeling just a short walk down the beach. If the Altantic is a bit too rough you can take a 10 minute walk to the Carribean. There you will find an array of beach bars and food shacks as well as rental items (jet skis, snorkeling equip, etc). Our condo was equipped with everything we needed except food provisions which we purchased a the grocery store. There is no need to change dollars to EC as the US dollar is accepted everywhere and the proper exchange is given. We stayed for 12 days and rented a car for 1 week of our stay. We were fortunate to have perfect weather while we were there. The staff here was very helpful in answering questions and pointing us in the right direction. I am hopeful that we will return here again in the near future. If you enjoy peace and serenity this is a wonderful place to find it.

We stayed at Island Paradise in February. They failed to tell us that the Atlantic beach had washed away and the access was blocked with stone boulders.
The 2 single condos that we rented were real nice and clean. Everything went well until we were robbed 2 days before our departure. A window screen was cut open and they entered through the window while we were sleeping. Only US currency was takened. So if you are considering this condo complex, keep your windows and doors shut and locked at all times. There were other visitors in a double condo that were robbed the same morning.

We loved our stay at Island Paradise! Standing on the large front balcony we had a view of the small but lovely pool directly in front, and to the side, we could see the Atlantic Ocean through the palm trees. The two bedroom unit was furnished in a wonderful tropical scheme with local artwork accenting the walls. All the comforts of home were available and we were happy to be able to cook a few meals at home and keep plenty of drinks chilling in the full sized refrigerator. The beach is beautiful although the water is a bit rough for swimming. You can walk to the Caribbean side in 5 minutes, however. There are several restaurants within easy walking distance - don't miss PJ's just adjacent to the complex, for great Italian food!
