Exceeded Expectations

We loved everything about this property and the beach was one of the best we’ve been to. Fabulous swimming, not crowded and very beautiful. Staff at Makayla Palms were very helpful without being imposing.

Our Villa Tia was just perfect for us. Wie had views of the beach which was only 50m away and very quiet. The Villa was extremely well equipped and very comfy, with a lovely outdoor area. The gardens were beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Beautiful Setting

We had a truly exceptional experience at Makayla Palms. Grace picked us up at the airport and proved to be so nice and helpful. The unit and grounds were meticulous. Our unit was well appointed with dishes, grill, outdoor furniture and view of the water. Our hosts supplied masks, fins, snorkels, kayaks, and reef shoes. It was all so easy. Our exploration of the island leads us to the conclusion this is the nicest beach area on the island. It’s only drawback is distance to a grocery store - though we managed thanks to the public bus. We plan to return and will stay in Makayla Palms. We enjoyed talking with Fred who keeps the grounds looking so beautiful. We travel a lot and we rate our experience an A+!

Everything was wonderful .. just as the website showed & described .. however the bed was like 2 singles together & each was very dipped & meant sleeping was only possible far apart from one another.

The property is immaculate and the rooms were so clean and well kept.

The property is immaculate and the rooms were so clean and well kept. Villa Tia has a very private feel and it was so lovely to go back to at the end of each day after exploring the island. The room had everything we needed, plus more. The access to the beach was perfect and wow it’s so stunning down at the beach.
