My wife and I spent eight nights at Como Parrot Cay just before Thanksgiving 2023, opting for their Beach House—a private beachfront villa set apart from the main lodgings. While the cost was considerable, we consistently seek high-end beachfront accommodations offering privacy, a private heated infinity edge pool, and, ideally, a personal jacuzzi—all of which the Beach House at Como Parrot cay provided. The pluses… • Private HEATED infinity edge pool overlooking the beach. A first for us, this pool overlooking the beach was genuinely heated to our liking, that set Como Parrot Cay apart from our previous stays at luxury resorts like Cheval Blanc in the Maldives, Four Seasons in Punta Mita, Ritz Reserve in Puerto Rico, Ritz Reserve in Los Cabos, Rosewood in Riviera Maya, Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum, Turkey, and others. • Private Jacuzzi in the rear of the villa, with accompanying outdoor shower. • Spacious interior accommodations with full bath including tub, and more. • The BEST part of Como Parrot Cay, without a doubt, was the exceptional service. We have been all over the world to the most expensive resorts, and the service at the Como Parrot Cay was by far the best we ever experienced. They assigned us a butler. (We’ve had butlers before but never like this.) The Butler was exclusive just for us and stayed with us for the duration of our vacation. His name was Ardi, and he treated us like a King and Queen. He was our beach attendant setting up lounges and umbrellas. He was our waiter. He was our chauffeur driving us to the fitness center and main restaurants. He was our in-room dining server. He did it all, and with a smile. Not once did Ardi say the word No. Not once did he rely on other staff members to answer a request. He took responsibility and made sure everything possible was handled to our liking. He was the true embodiment of proper hospitality. Cheers to the management for recruiting and training him so well. Ardi made our trip great and carefree. The minuses… Unfortunately, however, Como Parrot Cay does not deserve 5 stars. • Despite the idyllic beachfront location, the Beach House villa was surrounded by wild, unkempt foliage, leading to a substantial presence of mosquitoes, roaches, moths, flies, and other insects. So much so, that our king bed was encased by a net to keep the bugs out. That was fine for the nights, but during the day, bugs were everywhere. Ardi gave us bug spray but that didn’t stop the bug bites. My wife had no less than 30 bites all over. This could have all been prevented if the resort cleaned up the surrounding landscape and maintained it with manicured lawns, flowers, and neat shrubbery. But the messy wilderness surrounding the villa was a haven for the bugs, hence the havoc was upon us and diminished our overall vacation. (It didn’t help that it rained every day, causing even more buggy chaos.) • Secondly, a minor but important comment- While Como Parrot Cay was the first
