Well, I hope it's not too dangerous, as I will be staying at Summerset Village myself this November from the 7th to December 3rd. They offered me a great deal on a room with air conditioning and tv and mini fridge, so I went ahead and put the deposit down and plan on paying for the rest on the 1st of October. They have rooms with kitchenettes for $500, but they are fan only, and ac is a must for me. I figure how wrong can I go paying $250 for the month, you know? I don't plan on wandering around at night, but am figuring it should be okay to walk up and down to the main road then catch a route taxi to where I want to go like the beach or even a place on the cliffs to hang for the day like Xtabi. I don't plan on walking it at night at all, I haven't walked down that road, but from what I know it's not that well lit, so would take a taxi all the way back to Summerset Village instead of letting me off at the corner of the road, at the end of the day, that's for sure. And even in the daytime, plan on keeping my wits about me and not traveling with any large amounts of cash at all. I don't have my expectations up that high, as long as the ac works and the bed is okay I will be all right, and everything after that is gravy. They do have a pool, and a restaurant and bar on the premises, and will have to see how they are when I get there. If worst comes to worst, I just won't spend a lot of my time there, only to sleep, but might be spending more time there if it is halfway decent.
I am not sure how much of this is still the same, but Summerset's own site has a part called the "neighborhood" and it describes some people in it...here's the link: http://www.negrilvillageresort.com/Neighborhood_1.html
I guess it will be interesting to find out who is still there and who isn't..will find out for myself soon enough.
