I walked past Taino Cove almost everyday last week and is about 7 min past the beach of Villa Optima if you walked the beach to Calabash Bay where all the fishing boats are and then up to Jakes it would be at least a 30 min walk. I can say I never saw a single person at this resort the entire time I walk that way. I walked up the steps on the beach side twice to look around the deck and never saw a person. It was weird. Best thing we did was rent scooters for the week.
