I've found that looking at weather sites doesn't always give an accurate picture. The weather on the island and the mainland are very different too. We have those nice breezes that tend to blow the rain right on through. We have had quite a bit of rain lately, but not too many days where it rained all day. Typically, on the island, we get morning and evening showers but it has been sunny and hot during most of the daytime hours. Now this morning...it's a little cool....70-ish.....but that is probably a welcome figure for most of you from the states! Diving is very possible....I've even gone in the rain. I mean your gonna get wet anyway, right?....LOL You may lose some light and visability, but it's still spectacular! Bring your books just in case....just not a library. ![[Linked Image]](//ambergriscaye.com/message/biggrin.gif)

Sunkissed, My husband and I and our two boys, 16 and 12 stayed at Paradise Villas last June for 6 days. It was absolutely wonderful. They had cold beer and sodas for the kids waiting when we arrived (arranged in advance). The grounds were simply gorgeous and meticulously maintained. The pool was very nice, and has a swim up bar. It's not operational, but we set a small cooler on it with our refreshments, and you can also set up a blender down there for those wonderful tropical drinks. A small grocery is only a two minute walk from the complex. The rooms were cheerful and tastefully decorated. Some are completely air conditioned and some have a window unit in the bedroom. Ours had the window unit, but was strong enough to cool the entire condo if all the doors were left open. They were clean and the maid service was first rate. We got what ever we requested, a foot bath outside the front door for sandy toes, a BBQ grill for our patio, laundry service for our wet, soppy beach towels (we brought our own). If you choose to rent a golf cart, there are little parking spaces outside or alongside your room to park them. The small beach area is gated, and just beyond it was the Hustler Tours dock, so we didn't even have to go very far for our tours, snorkel equipment or fishing. The dock is nice and they have some small artificial reefs just off the end for snorkeling. It's just a 5 minute walk to the heart of town (along the beach). They also have night security, so I felt very safe walking home late at night. The kitchens were fully equipped and very nice to have. With two teenage boys, they ate constantly!!! Marki (a woman) in the office is a doll and will do anything for you. She even got us a doctor when my boy got sick. You'll have a wonderful time. I would stay there again. Debbie
