Sur La Plage 2 weeks in Paradise

I just spent 2 weeks at Sur La plage Villa in January 2008, recuperating from major surgery and it was the most amazing, wonderful healing and restful time.

The villa was immaculate, charming and contained everything you could think of ... just like your own well equipped home. We had books, cd's. dvd's, tv's, stereo, internet access as well as all the kitchen appliances .

Iris, the maid was most helpful and kept everything in wonderful order... washing our dishes, making sure we had enough towels for the house and the beach, changing our sheets every two days and then hanging the laundry out to dry in the sun.... an old fashioned treat that made you feel very pampered. She even insisted on showing us the way to the ferry so we could go shopping in St Marten for the day. ( she had us follow her so we would not get lost)

The most magnificent part of our two weeks was the incredible beach... It is so hard to give you the feeling of WOW when you walk down a little path through the sea grapes and come out upon the most pristine, white sand expanse with turquoise water. Just picture yourself with the Sun streaming down and sparkling on the water and you are sitting on a chaise listening to the water, a seagull fly over and no other human voice..... It is a magical place.

We also took advantage of ordering dinner cooked by the onsite available Chef (a recent graduate of the Culinary Institute in Tortola). It was a magnificent meal of Cornish hen stuffed with fruits and wild rice, a magnificent sauce accompanied by tiny asparagus. For the cocktail hour, he served cheese, pate, and caviar with homemade toasted rounds of sourdough bread and a fabulous wine. Desert was an angelic concoction of bananas foster. YUM.

I would be happy to talk to anyone about my incredible experience from January 7, 2008 to January 27th, 2008.

I cannot wait to go back!
