We arrived two hours early, and Mike at the front desk opened his arms, and upon finding us on the list, said, "Welcome, welcome, welcome, Thompson family!" In all our years of timesharing, we''ve never had such a warm welcome. Mike helped us out many times during the week with directions and excellent suggestions. We were allowed to check in two hours early, also a rarity in timesharing!
The ocean was 82 degrees, and the water as clear as any we''ve encountered in the Caribbean. Lounge chairs are available free of charge. Beach towels are given at check-in, but may not be exchanged during the week. There are gas grills, a small pool, and a lovely jacuzzi. The pool and jacuzzi were locked every night around 9PM.
The unit was the perfect size for a couple. The kitchen was well equipped, the king size bed ultra comfortable, the bathroom not at all worn looking. In fact, the furniture seemed relatively new.
Usually the term "motel conversion" strikes fear in the heart of any seasoned timesharer. Not here. The building has been converted into units that are not only comfortable, but spacious and well-designed. There is only one two-bedroom unit here, and the rest are evenly distributed between one-bedroom 4/4 and one-bedroom 6/4. The 6/4s have two bathrooms and have about 2/3 more room than the 4/4s.
We had a view that was nothing short of breath-taking out both the living room and the BR. TVs in both rooms. Sliders out of both to the balcony, which was very pleasant for enjoying breakfast.
The first night, our air conditioner failed. The next day, a Sunday, the resident fix-it man and jack-of-all-trades, Jesse, repaired it so it was as good as new.
We made a delightful discovery this time. Although we''ve been to the area many times, we never tried the scuba diving before. We''ve been diving all over the world, for the past 13 years, and the reef here is pristine, the marine life abundant. We went out with Scubatyme, which can be engaged through any dive shop in the area. This boat is highly recommended for seasoned divers.
There are no organized activities at this resort, which suited us just fine. We had our hands full between swimming in the crystalline ocean, diving, enjoying the meals we cooked on the gas grills, and relaxing in the jacuzzi. Our daughter is in grad school nearby, so we spent several evenings with her, whenever her schedule permitted. So our dance card was all full . . .
The best way I can tell you how we feel about this resort is that as soon as we returned home, we confirmed another week at the Native Sun for August of 2004.
Now THAT''s a resounding recommendation!
