The Villa was absolutely perfect! It was very low key yet accommodating and had an understated elegance. The location cannot be beat. The beach was amazing! The water is extremely clear and calm. Perfect for relaxing! Shops and restaurants are a quick ride away.
The service at the villa was five star! Cheryl and Angela were outstanding! The meals that were prepared and served were excellent. It didn’t make sense to dine anywhere else. Our meals were always better when prepared by Cheryl.
We had an amazing week at Westhaven and highly recommend it.

Reviews
I would highly recommend Westhaven. This was a splurge for us and we were nervous that we would arrive and it wouldn’t be what we expected. However this villa and the staff exceeded our wildest dreams. The villa location is the best on the beach and the staff made us feel spoiled. We extended our stay three days while we were there because we couldn’t beat to leave paradise!
