Pros- excellent views, host was very kind. space is beautiful inside and out. We stayed on the bottom floor and had the 5bed/5bath to ourselves. No one else was in the building So we also had the exterior to ourselves which was nice. We even picked a few fresh papayas and made smoothies.... Wow!! Full kitchen, washer dryer, and bidet were all in working order.
You decide- Jan Thiel is hilly. The walk down to the beach, shopping, dining and grocery is fairly short. The walk up is a walk up. We rented bikes and saw a good bit of the island. We were able to see many lizards and iguanas roaming the yard by the pool.
Cons- Electrical outlets were European Standard. Our electronics did not fit. Our host made adapters available; but we were afraid to move them around the house. So we did our charging in the main area only. There is AC in each room; but not in the main dinning area. A constant breeze is VERY helpful; but no substitute for AC
