There was a beautiful view of the sea from the living room and main bedroom. The beach was a 2 minute walk through beautifully landscaped grounds. We were away from the busyness and hubbub of Georgetown but other beaches, restaurants and shops were 10-15 minutes drive away. Nice restaurant (only open for dinner I believe) directly across the (quiet) street. George, who manages the property was friendly and helpful.
We couldnât be happier with the location of Villa Pappagallos! A mile of quiet beach in either direction ⊠the peace and quiet makes you feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of Seven Mile beach, yet itâs really only a short drive to anything you need.
Unit 43 is well kept and the owner was fantastic to work with (excellent communication before and during our stay). The condo was clean, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make a few meals during our stay, the beds were comfortable, and the view from the balcony was amazing for morning coffee!
Thanks for the wonderful vacation! We hope to be back again!
Lovely location but pool was being refurbished and we did not know till 4 days before our trip. The owner gave us a discount on the nightly rate but it would have been good to know much earlier in advance that there was a possibility that the pool would be unavailable.
As previous reviewers have mentioned, this is away from the crowds and offers a nice view of the beach. It is adjacent to a trash strewn National Park that is appalling to walk along (both beach and road) but is pretty secluded.
But, here are the reasons for rating it low. While the view is nice, the beach is unusable due to the waves and coral. You will have to drive to another beach. The pool is unusable because it is freezing, even though it has been in the 80's. It is not heated and the only ones that use it are brave kids. The pictures also show what looks to be a hot tub but it is a kiddie pool. They do have an area that has jets, but again, no heat.
One of the worst parts of all is the God awful smell of the septic/sewer when you walk into the condo from the parking lot. You literally have to hold your breath and the balconies on that side cannot be used due to the smell.
If I returned to the island, I would not stay here again and would not recommend it.
Villa Pappagallo 43 was beautifully maintained and Dave was super helpful and informational. It was the off-season (late June-early July) so we had the pool and beach area mostly to ourselves! We had a great trip and would definitely stay here again.
Very quiet area of Cayman. There is a really nice restaurant right across the street but everything else is at least a bus ride away. Catching a bus is easy, but requires roughly 1/4 mile walk from unit, and then the wait for the bus. Highly recommend renting a car for ease of getting around.The unit: very nice 2 bedroom unit. Beautiful view from living room and master. There is a flight of 15 steps just to get into the unit. And then bedrooms and BOTH baths are on the second floor. Both couples thought the beds were way too soft and very uncomfortable. The owner stated heis going to replace them, but verify. Kitchen super well equipped. Kindly supplied us with coffee on check in. Provided beach towels. Bedding and bath towels very nice. The complex is VERY quiet. At least in January. Had the beach and pool to ourselves most of the time. You can snorkel right off the end of the dock. George the groundskeeper is super kind and helpful. The grounds are clean and well-kept.
The condo is lovely and well-supplied. The view is gorgeous. The location is perfect if youâre looking for a quiet beach and pool area to relax. The owner couldnât be more responsive, providing detailed instructions for the drive to the property; information regarding local groceries, car rental, etc.; and immediate feedback to any questions. All in all, a wonderful experience. I would stay here again.
We stayed for a week, the unit was just as described with beautiful ocean views. We sat on the balconies every day to eat or hang out. The kitchen is very spacious, great for cooking a group meal.
Perfect sized condo for a family of 4. The condo itself was in a quiet location, clean, and just as described. It was a short drive to Seven Mile Beach and lots of different snorkeling areas. Everyone enjoyed the pool, weather, and activities.
