Great Expectations actually has 3 pools. The Guest House has a small white pool that is 4’ deep and has large steps on one end. The original pool is actually 2 connected triangle pools: one is 1’ deep for small children (or super ‘relaxed’ adults) and the other larger one is 3’ deep for children (or again, relaxed adults). The newest and largest ‘infinity’ type pool is 4’ deep and has a 1’ deep bench along the closest-to-villa edge.
Do I need to bring my hair dryer with me?
Negative. We have electric hair dryers in the bathroom off each bedroom for you to use while staying at Great Expectations as well as many other amenities.
Will we need to bring supplies such as toilet paper, beach towels, etc.?
We have tried to anticipate having waiting for you all the amenities you could possibly need to enjoy your Caribbean vacation. All you definitely need to bring is your spouse, kids (maybe), parents (be nice to them), friends and any well-behaved family. Great Expectations is equipped and stocked with everything else you will need except for your clothes and personal toiletries. We try to have waiting for you plenty of toilet paper, soap, towels (including beach towels), linens, plates, glasses, utensils, pots and pans. We have washers and dryers available for your use with, assuming the previous guests have not used all our supplies up, laundry detergent and dryer sheets. We have dishwashers (with soap), outdoor BBQs (with propane) and a private basketball and tennis court (with basket balls, tennis balls and tennis rackets). We do not provide snorkeling equipment which can be rented by the day or week from one of the dive shops in town which have a much larger variety of sizes, than we could provide (and we have arranged for a discount for our guests). We do have free WiFi (Internet) but you will need to bring your own laptop computer (or there are a number of Internet cafes in-town where you can use their computers for a fee). We also provide complementary Netflix video streaming. Mother Nature will provide plenty of sun and the most gorgeous stars at night!
What don't you provide for your guests?
Not much. We do not supply toothpaste, body lotion, beer, wine, liquor, coffee, tea or food. There may or may not be any coffee or tea as well as suntan lotion but it depends on the largesse of the previous guests. We do not have a Keurig or other individual cup coffee-maker. We do not supply bottled water (the water from all the Villa faucets is filtered and purified by an EPA-approved UV system and probably cleaner than your water at home). We do not supply a car for you to use. What else? We do not provide telephones or TVs in the 4 Main Villa bedrooms (but there is a 65” LED HDTV in the Great Room and a smaller TV in the Denis and Jumbie rooms). We do not provide air-conditioning in the Great Room (all the other rooms are air-conditioned) because it is designed to be open, encouraging the flow of people from outside to inside with tiled patios on both sides (the Great Room does have a Big Ass fan -- seriously that is what it is called). We do not have a piano, billiard or ping-pong tables (we do have lots of outdoor toys including 3 swimming pools, hot tub and a basketball/tennis court).
