If your idea of a holiday is simply falling out of bed and into the sea, then this is for you!. My wife and I have just returned from The Beach House, and cannot believe that we were actually there!

After pouring over the pictures taken during our stay, we have both vowed to return soon. The wildlife on the 'door step' took our breath away, the birds, lizards, and fireflies at night were always in constant sight. We will never forget the cheeky Bananaquit! What a character this is! Mot-mots called on a regular basis as shy as they are.

The sea contained some of the most interesting sights once we passed D'Original Mayor. Shoals of fish including angel & parrot fish were visible on every visit, my wife experienced snorkeling for the first time and for once I could not get 'her' out of the sea, on one occasion we were surrounded by hundreds of sprats just as curious about us!. We spent relaxing evenings watching the pelicans dive for supper, the sun melted into the sea whilst dinner was cooking in the oven (with a cold Carib in hand of course!). Porridge made sure that we had plenty of supplies and having met new fellow travelers (from Norway and Germany) we organised a spontaneous dinner party to show off our English style roast dinners much to our guests delight!, the kitchens equipment and standards were faultless and if any thing had of been needed I am confident in Porridge being able to get it somewhere!

The property was well maintained and kept spotless thanks to Jeanelle and Porridge who looked in on a regular basis to make sure everything was okay. Porridge was an excellent host and source of information. He made sure that all the guests were happy.

I have read all the other reviews, and holidays are what you make of them, this certainly made ours for us. There was little else that we needed or wanted to do.

Many thanks to all those who made us welcome. And thanks to our new friends, Porridge, Jeanelle, Shaquille, Duck, Anaconda & Duane in Castara, Nils and Irene from Norway and Norbert and Tanya from Germany, all the friendly local shop and restaurant owners and above all to the owners of 'Coconut Heights' who made it all possible!.

I just want to say that yet again someone it appears you have been bitten by the Castara bug, it is a super review.
We will be back in April and it cannot come quickly enough.

Just to let you all know that our friends in Norway and Germany have kept in touch and we are all missing Castara already!
It has taken a bit of time to settle back into work for us all, but it still seems like only yesterday we were all there, I think we all left a little of ourselves behind!
I burnt all the photos we took onto CD and have put them away, but I have a feeling they will not get a chance to become dusty!

Hopefully our friends will find their way to this thread, I must admit I have trouble finding it at times and have to click on our name once logged in.

Probably my fault as usual
