FAQs

Question

Where to stay?

Answer

See Travel section for available villas. There are also lots of Airbnb and Vrbo properties around Chocolate hole. However this beautiful island is small, so renting an air bnb or vrbo property anywhere on the island is also an option. We were unable to get a hotel block, but the hotel still does have some rooms available.

Question

How long should we stay?

Answer

We are so excited for our wedding and to share our love with all of the people we love most. With that being said we would like to have this last as long as possible. We will be staying until August 15th, we would love if everyone could also stay the week. But, we know everyone has work, life, and important responsibilities to attend too. So, however long you can manage to vacation with us, we will love! We look forward to any time spent with all of you.
