Is there public transportation close to the resort? / Do you recommend renting a car?
Frequent public transportation passes just outside the premises of this resort, taxi's are available at the resort within 5 minutes from your call, the Eagle Beach is right there when you step off the premises, and several good restaurants are within walking distance; so a rental car is actually not a requirement. However, if you wish to explore the rest of the island (beautiful sites!) or visit the more remote but exquisite restaurants and landmarks, we then do recommend renting a car. We will be happy to assist you with your rental car reservation.
Where can I rent a car?/ Can you rent a car for me?
We have a special arrangement with two local car rental companies for our guests. If you have a booking with us, and would also like to rent a car or 4x4, just let us know in advance (by phone or via e-mail) and we will make all arrangements. Click on the "LOCATION" tab of any listing on our website and you will find more info and also how it works.

Each unit is individually owned, thus provides for its own BBQ grill where possible.

Outgoing local and international calls are of course charged separately. You receive the phone with a certain amount of calling credit, and additional calling credit can be purchased easily on the island (at all gas stations, drug stores, minimarkets, supermarkets, etc.). Payment for rental fee and settlement of used calling credit takes place when checking out. The rate for local calls is $0.15 to $0.20 per minute; the rate for long distance calls e.g. to US and Canada, using the mobile phone, is additionally about $0.25/minute.
