Description
Each of the 6 air-conditioned bedrooms has a private bathroom with double sink lavatories and enchanting indoor/outdoor showers. Best of all, each of the Villa bedrooms have patios on both the east and west sides with spectacular water views. In addition, there is an air-conditioned exercise room, called The Club Room, which also can serve as a small bedroom bringing the total number of bedrooms to 7 with 7 1/2 bathrooms.
The Villa itself is furnished with custom-made teak furniture and carvings from Bali and, we think, very tastefully decorated with original paintings, sculptures, sconces and even a native mural which was written-up in the local papers. All the openings (sliding doors, windows and transoms) in this St John villa are fully-screened. Italian tile adorns the floors and kitchen and bathroom counters. Great Expectations does not pretend to be fancy, just very, very special!
Native stone work laced with local coral and shells frames the Villa entrance and is used around the site to highlight the lush landscaping of beautiful, colored bougainvillea, hibiscus, croton, wild orchids and, and our favorite, frangipani. A number of significant palm trees as well as banana trees complement the beauty of the site. A variety of birds frequent the immediate area which, depending upon the season, may include magnificent pelicans, frigate birds, soaring osprey, nesting hawks, great blue herons, the largest hummingbirds you have ever seen.
Guests have especially commented about how kid friendly Great Expectations is -- plenty of grassy and level areas for kids to play, the fenced in tennis court, a wading pool just the right size for little ones (and their parents!), hammocks to play in and on, and lots of baby equipment on site. Child Safety: Wading/swimming pools are not fenced-in. Fenced-in basketball/tennis court area ideal for unsupervised children.
