Never really looked into Xtabi but we just booked at Grand Pineapple so will do beach again but want to spend a day on the cliffs & eat at Catcha & check it out for next time. It was booked for the nights we booked at GP & the other time we had considered going they only had the cottage closest to the road available. Do you know if they allow you to take a swim in their pool if you eat a meal there? Thanks for your thoughts BTW & I don't mind barking dogs. I live with one!
