We are planning our vacation for May 1st in AC, and I have spent quite some time looking at places to stay and reading the posts here on the forum. Our initial choice was Captain Morgans, but in reading some of the posts I am becoming a bit apprehensive about this choice, so I am coming to those of you here on the forum for a little direction if possible. What we are looking for is a "cabana" style resort or possibly a private home rental with air conditioning on the ocean front to spend our vacation at. From what I have found, other than Captain Morgan's, the only other I have came across was Ramons, are there any others that are individual cabanas? We would really like to find a place that is not "packed in" with others, meaning the person next door can hear you sneeze, we would like a little seclusion if at all possible. I know this may be a "pie in the sky" dream, but worth a shot! What are you thoughts on renting a home there for a week? I have come across 3 or 4 rental houses on AC but not knowing the area am not really sure if this would be the way to go. And lastly, and this may be a silly question, but can you swim right off the beach? The reason I ask is that most I have come across mention swimming "off the dock", and not many mention swimming from the beach. Thanks so much for any help you can give me on this! M2B

What about Xanadu? I know they are a bit different but wouldn't that property seem to have what these people are after?
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?

i'd say at least peek at some of the homes listed on the lodging page. We loving staying in a big house full of food, furniture, bikes, beach, floaties for the water. theres something to be said for a fully stocked home. Thanks Marty! We are seriously considering renting one of the homes there. My main concern now is not many mention air conditioning. Is the temp and humidity a problem at night? Would a/c be necessary? We are from Arkansas and are used to high temps and humidity, but would really like to be comfortable while on vacation We are also open to any suggestions on homes as well since we are unfamiliar with the area. I have contacted Caye Mgt. but have not heard back yet. Thanks for any input! M2B

my opinion: i stayed in cabanas at ramons ('93) and journey's end ('00) and i think they are HIGHLY overrated. (didnt i post this same topic last month?). they are small, hot (even with A/C) and we could not keep the sand out. they were a little buggy & one had a crab. they look cool from the outside, but i didnt really enjoy them.
in '02, we stayed in a condo at caribe island (way south & secluded) and the condo was great. A/C, kitchen, cable tv, pool with bar/grille, and the ocean 20 steps out my door.
again, just my opinion.
