Sam, is the "new" coffee shop still there? The one that was just past Best of the West? It was a brand new building - sold pastries and blue mtn coffee...I believe the lady was from NY that ran the place. Feb 2012 will be our 2nd time renting the villa - we go with 3 other couples and it's not too much more $ than going on your own and renting one of the bigger rooms on the beach side. The nice thing about the villa is you get access to your own pool, a full kitchen so we do a lot of our own cooking/grocery shopping while there which saves $$, coffee machine, and Henry always makes sure our coolers are full of ice to keep the red stripes cold :-) I'm going to do the spa/massage that you suggested...that sounds nice! 2 new birds?? Frances's Macaws must have had more babies :-)
