What i like about her is that… read more

The first days Jan helped me in the garden until my best friend came to visit with her two lovely children. I do a lot of sport and social activities and we asked Jan to babysit the children a couple of hours per day. My friend was so happy she could join me. Jan is a sensitive and kind guy and the children loved him. After I had to go to France… read more

J'avais besoin d'un grand mec baraqué pour un gros travail d'élagage dans le "zion" , bref, un roi de la tronçonneuse ...
Bien sûr, la tronçonneuse est tombée en panne et c'est là que Jan a révélé sa flexibilité dans le travail : il a pris un sabre et...allons-y gaiement !, au point de, à la fin du séjour, préférer le sabre à la tronçonneuse.

Olivier and Colette are one of the best hosts I have ever had. They are very welcoming and interesting people. I especially loved the breakfast together in the morning and Olivier's jazz and Classic music. The place is lovely, it overlooks the carribean sea, i slept in one of their dream cabins which are very cosy and romantic at night. It is a… read more

Lila is a warm kind and welcoming host. The bed was a comfortable kingsize. She has two lovely girls that are very educated, a Beautiful Sint bernard dog and Bloom is the sweetest cuddling cat. We did a lot of gardening together, she was very grateful because a huge garden for a women alone is a challenge in the tropics. I highly recommend lila… read more
