Rondel Village 01/24/02
Reviewers Rating: Great
We arrived at Rondel Village and checked in swiftly. Rondel was wonderful, a very good choice for those who really want A/C, cable TV, phones, etc. I don't care much about those things but did enjoy the A/C. What was really great to me was all the space we had in our 2 bedroom villa - a huge living room with full kitchen (blender, microwave, toaster oven, real oven and stove, large fridge, sink, dishes, etc.), 2 huge bedrooms, one on the main floor that had its own bathroom, one "loft" bedroom that slept 5, another bathroom, a large wrap-around porch and our own jacuzzi (not that hot but the kids loved it). The furniture is real upholstered stuff too, not the semi-outdoor things that a lot of tropical hotels have. Beds were cozy, everything worked. Bring a CD player though - that's all they don't have. The staff was wonderful from our housekeeper to the manager to just everyone we came in contact with. Rondel is right on the beach, in a great location - a few doors up from Whistling Bird, a few doors down from Nirvana, MariposaÖnice and quiet at night but easy walk to nighttime adventure. The bar and restaurant at Rondel, Irie Village, is run by Maggie who was at Beach House Villas before, a lot of you know her. Bartenders Crazy and Milton took very good care of us on the beach. Good food there and they have a deal with Rondel so you can get room service, or pickup service, or a phone call when your food is ready. Sometimes we were just that lazy J . There is a pool across the street from the beach, where the standard rooms are. No one was there so the pool was totally private. There's another jacuzzi there also. Our villas were on the beach side though, so we spent most of our time in the sea rather than the pool.
