Aloe Villa

It’s a beautiful private hideaway from the busy capital.. nice and secluded and close to the beach..

Quiet and very unique property, close to a beautiful beach.

The property was quite charming and semi-quirky. The view is beautiful! There is an evident termite problem in a few areas and the electricity went out at weird times in no apparent pattern for no apparent reason, but it didn't hamper our enjoyment of the cottage. The stove and oven had to be lit with the provided matches which was a surprise to us, but once lit, worked perfectly. I reached out to the property manager 2 times before our stay and he never replied to me. When my husband reached out to him, he replied. That was very disconcerting. Once we met him at the airport, he was very helpful. We had a rental car and we followed him to a grocery store and to the cottage. He stayed with us in the grocery store and helped us figure out the lay of the land. The 2 minute walk to the beach was easy and the beach is fabulous. I'd recommend the place if you're not looking for fancy. It's casual and quiet and perfect for 2.

Very short walk to Galley Bay Beach. The cottage was perfect and Marco is a great host.

The property is just gorgeous with amazing views. I stayed in the studio cabin. It was clean and nice. I had all kind of birds visit everyday on the porch. There is WIFI but no TV. Bring your laptop to watch TV. My suggestion to the owner is to get a couple of beach chairs for the cabin. The beach is right there but no chairs are provided

I went for a bike ride and had no basket so I had it tucked in my swimsuit top. I’m wearing a cotton shirt over it because I’m sunburnt. I was so hot after the bike ride that I just plunged into the ocean and swam for a good 20 minutes. During my swim, I felt something hit my heel and I was scared, thinking shark! But I didn’t get out. I kept swimming because the water is sublimely beautiful. I get rolled around in a strong surf exiting the ocean and then grab my stuff and head for the pool. I swim there for about 20 minutes then head for the shade to read snd check my emails for work. No phone. It all comes back to me, tucked in bra, bump in my heel and ugh! I go to the water sports hut and kind Quin is there. We walk down to the surf to see if we can spot it. Nope! He heads up for a snorkel mask and valiantly plunges in. I pint to where I felt the thump on my heel. He looks and looks, head down and cruising through the water, coming up for air. I point ‘a little farther that way’. He moves and peers down, then dives. I still don’t have hood it’s okay. It’s been in the ocean for almost an hour by now. He nears shore, holds it up and says ‘it works!’. What?!? Omgoodness. Tickled pink here. I plug in my lock code and my whole world is at my fingertips again. Kind Quin saved the day! This guy deserves a raise and a promotion. He didn’t have to look in the ocean for an iPhone! You know how grateful I am? Thank you Quin and galley Bay for saving the day with over the top customer service. I’m a travel agent and have been all over the world to many resorts. I haven’t even been here 24 hours and I am blown away by how kind and helpful everyone is. But Quin? Outstanding.
