There were other families around and people were very friendly. I was worried about the quiet areas for my teenage boys, ages 15 and 19, but they loved it and found lots to do. They are 1/2 mile walk apart from where we stayed and Eagle beach has a wider beach and was lovely. I fretted between the high and low rise area between Eagle and Palm Beach - what a waste. We stayed in room 202 - 2nd floor during New Year's week. Thank you Andy, Fred, Walter, Alex, Bianca, Sandra, Giselle and everyone else who maintain our property and this year made a stressful situation bearable. We learned the entire Paradise Beach Villas staff truly care about us. Fortunately we found a flight out on March 21 but that last week was a learning experience for us. We were told if transportation was needed to get to the market PBV would make that happen.

The 2 primary markets we shopped at were open so if you could get there you wouldn't starve. Most restaurants either closed entirely or closed but were open for take-away meals.

They couldn't get us off the island but they would do everything possible to keep us safe and comfortable in our rooms. Andy, Fred and the entire management team held a meeting and addressed our concerns. If you were there I don't need to review what we all endured but our primary concern was 'When and How' are we going to get home. Now for my bottom line in this review This year my wife and I and our friends were enjoying our vacations when the Caronavirus came onto the scene. I know some thing about security and my wife and I feel secure at P.B.V. Since their arrival in their position of upper management we have seen many serious improvements especially in the security zone. Back to the management team: They have acted in the interest of our PBV owners for many years. The pool was crystal clear People, listen to me, if you are looking for a great place to spend some quality time at the beach or the poos give Paradise Beach Villas a try. Then I arrive at the top: The two men who cause me to give Paradise Beach Villas another 5 star review. That's a lot of out door responsibility and he makes sure his team get the job done. I may not have his entire zones of influence exactly as it is but I'm pretty sure Walter oversees security (I am sure of that zone) I know he must supervise and is responsible for our staff at the beach as well as the 2 pools. Security: I'll use that one word to introduce the man in charge of so many departments. If it's not working.call the front desk and someone will arrive within minutes to fix or replace whatever is not working properly. Maintenance: That department is another 5 star team. Or if something breaks or in need of repair Alex is the man to see. Housekeeping: Alex is the manager/supervisor overseeing everything to do with regard to maid service in our rooms. That's 1, 2 3 and 1- 4 bedroom suites.and everyone, with any issue ot PBV s, calls the front desk. I will try to give you an overview of everyday life within the confines of 'The Front Desk' We have 80 rooms at P. Next we have Bianca who supervises that entire department. It was very involved and unexpected but Sandra 'Took care of business'.Mission accomplished.Thank you Sandra. There were numerous faxes and 3 way conference call required to get the job done and Sandra knew exactly what to do. I began a business transaction before leaving New York and unfortunately it had not been completed as expected. Is your room ok and if there is anything you need or anything I can do for you just contact me. While staying within the front desk zone I want to mention another wonderful lady, Sandra Sandra seems to be the next step in the que if we have an issue Giselle can't handle Giselle is so competent our interaction with Sandra is usually 'Hello how are you. Giselle has improved so much over the past 5 years it is clear she takes her job seriously and she does her best to help when help is required and if she can't personally get the job done she will know who can. We began our four weeks on February 23 when we were greeted by our favorite front desk lady Giselle.

The only person who does have influence in my life is my wonderful wife.that's it folks. I am not influenced, in any way, by incentives nor am I looking for nor do I expect any consideration for writing the truth.as I see it. I want to begin this review by making it clear.I am writing this review as I write all my reviews by using my powers of observation.
