I don't write a lot of reviews, but this place deserves it. So here I go... 1) the staff. in case you're wondering, no one at the hotel asked us, or even suggested, that we write a review. this is 1000% unsolicited. Lisa, Glenda, Sharise, Sweet Bella, and all the support staff who I don't know names...took the best care of us. So friendly and helpful. Very patient and accommodating! They gave us so many local tips and made dinner reservations (Glenda's idea). It was always fun chatting before breakfast to catch up on the prior days adventures and continue to get to know each other. We can't say enough about how welcoming, accommodating, friendly, and helpful they all were!! 2) The Place. The restaurant on site is called 'The Place'. Unfortunately they close at 3pm, but for breakfast and lunch, you will NOT be disappointed!! Starting with breakfast: variety of eggs/pancakes/waffles/oa**eat, all served with a very generous portion of beautiful very fresh fruit (berries, dragonfruit, melon, oranges), as well as coffee carafe, water, juice, etc... If you stay there, breakfast is included in room, so we did go each morning, and were seriously stuffed until dinner. The best part was the pastry basket, with delicious banana (or maybe ripe plantain) bread, blueberry muffins and various butter croissants (fruit, chocolate, and plain). I'm not a pastry fan just because of the calories/fat content, but these were splurge-worthy, and hey, we were on vacation! So I didn't venture into the pastry basket much (other than a little banana bread, which was delicious), until sadly, the last day, when I asked what bakery the pastries were from, and I was somewhat shocked to learn that they were baked DAILY ONSITE!! The restaurant wasn't full, so to hear of this dedication was somewhat jaw dropping; especially experiencing the quality!! Aside from breakfast, we had late day snacks here 2 days and they were all delicious. Not super cheap, but you get what you pay for. With an AMAZING beach view (I'm talking toes in the Caribbean) and great service, this is paradise!! 3) Rum Punch at The Place: This drink deserves to be enumerated!! OMG it was so good! Yeah, we had one upon arrival. OK, and a second. But I HATE sweet drinks and was seriously wondering what I'd drink on the island. As schooled by Sharise, this drink has an emphasis on the punch, not the fruit juice! A nice topping of freshly grated spice really adds to it. We literally did not find a rum punch on the island that came close to it....go there! 4) The Rendezvous Bay Hotel: very spacious, 2 sinks (one full bathroom and a secondary sink/mirror large area with magnifying mirror (for those of us who are older and need a bit of help:). We opted for level 2, for what we thought was best beach/water view. It literally took 30 seconds to walk out our door and around to the beach, but you might prefer a first floor room to walk immediately onto beach.. Either choice is a winner! We
