Hi, I was just wondering a couple of things. Firstly, How big are the safes? I have a macbook and it's about 13'..Would this fit into the safe? Would it be worth bringing? Also, by looking at some pictures it seems that the beaches are very small, are you able to take long walks? Lastly, How do you think the weather will be for us?

Thanks,

Kaila

I very much doubt your laptop will fit in the room safes, but there should be a hotel safe you may be able to use. My advice would be to leave the laptop at home - why do you need a laptop on holday?

They also have laptops that you can use in the hotel lobby - it was free when we were there in August, but I think they may charge now.

The two private beaches are relatively small - and no use for long walks. However they are never overcrowded. The public beach is bigger and longer, but will only take you 5 minutes to walk its length. You could walk around the resort/ island but it is not really suitable for long walks.

As for the weather, when are you going ? Whenever it is I am sure the weather will be great - plenty of sunshine with the occasional cloud and shower.

Hello,

I am not sure that your laptop will fit in the safe, but I took mine in June for 2 weeks, left it out on the desk every day and it wasn't touched, it is a very safe hotel. Also you can use your laptop in the lobby providing you have a wi-fi connection on your laptop and use their wireless internet.

I would say it is worth bringing, if you use it a lot, we took it to watch films, but there are a lot of American film channels there, we also took it to look at the photos we took and to touch them up, useful when the weather was bad, and to play music on. I am going again next year and will be taking my laptop again.

I'm glad to hear that your laptop was safe.

I wanted to bring it for the same purposes, and I think I just might.

It's a little unfortunate about not being able to walk the beaches, but if they truly are not crowded that would make up for it!

Also, I'm leaving on November 24th.. I thought it was a little obvious. lol
