Guest Report

[Marion Uckert]

We have stayed at Birdie's Nest during the beginning of our holidays in February 2007 and it was a really nice start! The rooms are very convenient, we had a kitchen and really enough space for our luggage and the very best is the location directly at the sea! In the morning you have a beautiful look from you window to the deep blue sea and in the evening you can sit on the veranda and watch the pelikans on their way back to where they sleep. The beach is huge and sometimes we were really alone there.

Our host Prince Robinson was very friendly and gave us some good advice where to go and what to visit. The village is nice, there are some shops and the steel drum factory of "Katzenjammer".

The most impressive experience we made at the end of the beach (near Plymouth) where fishermen were pulling out the net together with tourists from the nearby hotel in the early evening. It was a good catch and they threw a large and a small manta ray and some blowfish back to the sea. Dozens of pelikans and frigate birds were diving into the water and catching fish out of the fishermen's net - smashing!

We will not give the maximum 5 stars because: Unfortunately there are some construction works going on in the neighbourhood so that a walk on the beach is disturbed by concrete blocks lying in the sea. Directly at Birdie's Nest there is a kind of a sand heap you have to climb when coming back from the beach. But generelly it is a really marvellous place to be! To go to Fort Bennet and watch the sunset with a cool Carib in your hand - that's Caribbean feeling!
