We stayed at the L´acqua Viva for 5 nights and they were all great. The service was excellent and the rooms were spotless. Fresh linens and wonderful soaps and shampoos in the rooms. They serviced a complimentary breakfast each morning off a wide selection menu of (pancakes, waffles, eggs, local dishes as well)

Lunch and dinner were equally as delicious and very well priced. The room rate per night was a little pricey compared to the other hotels in town but that was because of the high service levels and all the extras.

I would certainly go back again and I, for sure will recommend it to every one I run into.

Check it out…you won’t be disappointed. We stayed in the Junior Villa!!!

It’s calm, crystal clear blue waters and warm temperatures throughout the year make the Caribbean an ideal place for getting away, mingling with the locals, enjoying the ever spicy Afro-Caribbean culture and exploring the wonderful marine life.
