We just got back from a ten day vacation at Coral Sands and I can't say enough great things about it. I first want mention how helpful Peter is and how grateful we were to have such a nice host. He picked up some basic groceries for us since we arrived on a Sunday and showed us around both the property and showed my husband around Georgetown. He was always available quickly if we needed him and he stopped by a few times, as we requested. He helped us plan our trips to the north and south ends of the island giving us tips on what beaches to go to and where to eat. He really helped make the vacation a great one!
The apartment was clean and stocked with the cooking basics. The deck had an amazing view of the beach and has patio furniture, perfect for the morning coffee or our card playing at night. The beach is secluded, seeing only a few people and has chairs and shade! Beautiful colours and soft sand (sandy bottom in the water too). Don't forget to walk down to the docks to see the turtles. Ask Peter about feeding them. We did and it was so much fun! I believe this is the perfect location for a vacation on the island. It's very close to town with the deli and grocery store just down the road. Georgetown is only 5-10 minutes away. It's also in the center of the island, perfect for our traveling days north and south. And a rental car is a must!
These are some of the highlights of our trip. We did the full day tour with Coastline excursions that included boating through the cays, thunder ball grotto snorkeling, swimming with sharks, feeding iguanas and swimming with pigs (and more!). We also rented a boat with Minns and had a great day exploring on our own. We found some great secluded beaches, a sand bar and an abandoned ship to snorkel. The Tropic of Cancer beach is by far the most beautiful beach on the island. Make sure you stop at Santana's for their lobster, amazing food and good prices. Coco plum beach was fun for finding sand dollars. The Peace and Plenty hotel has a great BBQ and Catch a Fire is the place to be at sunset. Some restaurants in town have rake bands certain nights too. Also, you must go to Chat and Chill on Stocking Island and plan to spend the day there. Beautiful beach, great drinks/food and overall atmosphere. And they have tame stingrays that will eat right out of your hand!
We had an amazing vacation and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much Peter and we hope to see you again soon!
