I thought I was the only one who booked so far ahead. Grand Pineapple, Nov 6-15. Sue and Joe
unkran1ans, omg, you are there the same week as '' the gang...part 2 '' , in the villa. if you think it was crazy this time....bwhahahhaa, just wait !!!!
I really want to be there, but at this point, probably not. Appointment this afternoon to go over CT to decide how bad the break is. Possible surgery but will be off for a few months according to doc regardless. Will be another crazy gang there for Villa Part 2 for that week. Gonna hate to miss it. ☹️
Colleen, dang, that's just a bummer, I was hoping it wasn't a break.... I'm gonna miss '' part 2 '' as well.... to hard to get off in November, plus airfares are crazy ...out of Minney is around 1000.00
right now.........will have to wait until Feb !!!!! ( keep us posted how you are doing ! )
So to be off topic a little, we have looked the villa from the outside many times, and of course all the pictures. However for us to make it financially feasible for us we would need to go with at least two other couples or a full house. My question is can the villa handle 6-8 people with tripping over each other? Does the flow work or is it a pain? Are there privacy issues? Does the road noise get to be too much? We have also thought 1 other couple and just make it the second part of our stay as a treat. Have you stayed/been inside the villa? Your thoughts?

Well I didn't stay over (since I could stumble to my own garden side room after partying with the wild folks there at night.. lol) but I was inside the villa 3-4 times back in April and it handles that many people easily (I don't think there was ever less than 8-10 people in the place when I visited). Each room is large with 2 full/queen beds and their own bathroom. In between the 4 rooms is a large living room and dining room with a huge table that can seat 8-10 easily. Probably the smallest area is their kitchen which is Galley style (but 2-4 people can easily work in there to prep a meal). Finally they have another large table on the covered patio in the pool area (where everyone seems to hangout). In general, the villa is tastefully decorated and pretty well updated with ceramic tile, newer furniture and kitchen appliances. I also believe that the hotel had staff come over one night and cook a meal for the house. THe people that stayed there also asked for a grill and the hotel brought them one to use that week out back. Since I didn't sleep there, I don't know much about the road noise at night but during the day, with everyone out back by the pool, I never noticed it. If I ever organized a large crew to visit WS, I'd definitely would stay there. I hope this helps...
