Beach Villa Paprika Guest Book

Hello Henry and Shandon.

This is a very much overdue message of gratitude and delight with our Paprika vacation this past January - 2006. We had such a wonderful time we wanted to make sure our comments were heartfelt and thus we've been slow to write. Plus, we want to come back, so we best leave no doubt as to just how much we enjoyed that visit.

We had beautiful beach walks, sometimes for a mile before meeting others, but also amongst the happy faces at Grace Bay. We loved those turquoise waters and swam and snorkeled frequently. Our accommodations were exquisitely comfortable and so peaceful. We enjoyed lounge time in or around the pool and drifting off to the sounds of the surf.

And for evening meals we really got to love our short hikes to the varied local restaurants. All the food was delicious and whether we were sitting down for 40 minutes or 2 and half hours everyone was accommodating.

Our best vacation. We will get back. Sincerely,

R F & C J — Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hello Shandon.

I wanted to tell you how nice Villa Paprika is (but of course you know that!) and thank you for directing us toward it. Paprika was a winner! My house guests, the (famous name omitted to maintain privacy), really enjoyed the house. The hoped-for complete anonymity on Provo wasn't quite as expected. There were some fellow countrymen at Magnolia's who were flabbergasted to see the royal family walk in, and they started taking photos and getting autographs. A Canadian couple were very excited at the IGA and asked for autographs, and even some fellow countrymen at the Ocean Club did the stop-and-point routine. But mostly, my friends were able to move about unimpeded and they really appreciated it.

What a wonderful vacation by the ocean in a beautiful villa with its tasteful decor! The weather was perfect with ocean breezes, sunshine every day, smooth sandy beaches, and charming plants and flowers. We enjoyed scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, with good fun had by all especially around the pool. Turtle Cove is very convenient for good food, shopping, and entertainment. We came for relaxation, and this was the place to find it. Everyone was sad to leave and we hope to come back soon.

The C. & J. families from Toronto came for a wonderful week of sun and fun. The villa worked out beautifully for all seven kids. The dads got in five full days of golf and the kids saw every fish imaginable at "our" reef. All the restaurants within walking distance were fantastic, exactly what everyone needed at the end of the day.

The K. and H. family had an unbelievable vacation here on Provo. We had beautiful weather all week. We had great experiences at Grace Bay Beach parasailing and riding the waves on the banana boat. Lunch at Hemingways was always a highlight - must try the fish tacos! Other restaurants that were wonderful were Aqua and Baci just around the corner. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Oh yeah, we had a visitor each day that we nicknamed Grace. She is a pretty silver and black striped cat and is extremely friendly. She enjoyed sliced turkey breast and a cup of milk each day by the pool terrace. If you see her, please be kind and offer her a treat. Have a great time!!

My family and my fiance's family came to the island for our wedding - absolutely unforgettable! While we were here we snorkeled right outside on Smith's Reef. You do not need to pay to go snorkeling, everything is right here! We also took a boat ride to "our own private island" for the day - highly recommended. BBQ'd at poolside most nights and enjoyed this wonderful vacation. Everyone enjoy your stay at Villa Paprika -- a beautiful house!

Henry and Shandon,

I can't believe that it has taken me til today to get back to you about our visit. I keep talking about Paprika and Providenciales, so you would think that I would remember to email you. We had a fabulous time last week. The Paprika is a great house. Beautiful bedrooms, gorgeous pool, wonderful views and a great outside. The weather was even perfect, we were truly spoiled. We took my parents and aunt and uncle and they haven't stopped thanking us yet. Just a perfect trip and Rick and I thank you for your generosity. I really believe we have found our vacation destination in Providenciales.

I don't know if Rick talked to you, but we did visit Gumbo one day. We really loved the location; so close to the beach. Everything about it was terrific, however we think we would want four bedrooms instead of three (got any of those?). We traveled around the island this time and even got down to see the Ocean Point villas. We saw the Leeward area last year and this year, and Turtle Cove is truly my favorite area. Anyway, we will be in touch. And thanks so much for a truly perfect week.
