Holiday villas St. Martin


Villa Del Mar - Anse Marsel, St. Martin

Poor me. Here I am in Rhyl in North Wales, that's the bit to the left of England where they talk funny. It's raining and it's cold and myself and Mrs Blogspot are in a Caravan Park. Dear Lord, how have I offended thee?
Things started well. I arrived on Saturday to find that my football team Everton had won 3 goals to 1 and the sun was shining. Things got even better when my teams Nemesis, Liverpool, got hammered and I had a few pints whilst watching them being put to the sword. Better still was the Chinese takeaway that night. Then it got a bit 'orrible! It started to rain and boy, did it come down and not just that, it was cold rain, big, horrible blobs of cold rain. Plink, plink, plink...all night long.

The caravan Mrs B and I are staying in (along with Mrs B's sister and two little angels..Hells Angels!) can best be described as "unfortunate" because It's unfortunate for me that I have to kip in it. The doorknobs are knackered, the shower door won't close, no battery in the smoke alarm, 5 out of 9 lights don't work, I could go on but you would think I was a moaner.

Anyway. I asked about the WI-FI and I was told they had it available but you can't use it in the caravans because the signal won't work in them because they are so close together, so, I have to use the WI-FI in the sports bar / restaurant. Needs must, so I am here now, amidst screaming babies, toddlers playing football, mothers moaning at fathers for drinking beer so early in the day, waiters running about with chips for spotty, obese teenagers who will play up if they are not fed every half hour. Chaos!

Why am I putting myself through this? Why don't I just go to the pub or back to the tin hut on wheels called a caravan? Duty! Yes, duty dear Blogmonsters. I feel duty bound to let you know about Villa Del Mar, a fantastic luxury rental villa in St. Martin, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. And who would be the rental company looking after this wonderful villa?. Jamaican Treasures, the best villa rentals company for St Martin. Who else?

You can see the photo of Villa Del Mar (Villa of the Sea) on this posting but to read all the information you can go to the Jamaican Treasures website and see lots of great photos as well as all the illa details. Villa Del Mar Link

As a footnote to this posting, can I just point out that it is posting number 100! (da-da-da-daaaaaaah! etc)

Jamaica Villa versus a caravan in Rhyl (Wales)

The Blogspot family on holiday in Rhyl...It's in Wales!
I bet you, dear Blog-o-blimpers, (readers to you) have this warped idea about me, that just because I work for the best holiday villa rentals company in Jamaica, that I get to go on really exotic holidays all year round. WRONG! Not just wrong, very, very, very wrong. I´m off to Rhyl...YES! RHYL (pronounced "RILL") and it's in WALES!


Mr Blogspot knew it was summertime, the rain was warm!"
Now, you will be asking yourself this "If he has the chance of a beautiful villa in St Martin from Jamaican Treasures, the best villa rentals company in Jamaica, why is he going to Rhyl?" (Come to think of it, I´m asking myself the same bloody thing!)

I´ll tell you why I´m going to Rhyl, it's because I have to go, my wife said so. We are visiting Mrs Blogspots sister and it just so happens, she lives in Rhyl. Now, that in itself is not a bad thing, I like Mrs Blogspots sister, but unlike you readers, I won't be sunning it in a fantastic villa in the Caribbean, oh no! I´m staying in a box on wheels...a caravan!! Not just any caravan though, mines a "Silver Standard" Mrs Blogspot booked it a few weeks ago.

We found some reviews of the place yesterday, one of them said "I would rather stick needles in my eyes than go back there!" so I´m not expecting to be sitting in the lap of luxury. Another review said "What a dump!".

The best review chirped "I would rather sleep rough in Manchester wearing a Liverpool FC shirt than sleep at Marine*******!"When I mentioned this to Mrs Blogspots sister, she poo-poohed these reviews "Take no notice of that rubbish, it's much worse than that!" I hope she was joking.

Unlike villa Carisa in St Martin, which is on Baie Rouge beach, this "Holiday Park" backs on to a "Rough looking housing estate" Dear lord!! I pointed this out to Mrs BS and her response was "beggars can't be choosers!" SINCE WHEN HAVE I BEEN A BEGGAR!

Mrs Blogspot booked a Silver Standard caravan

There is of course a moral to this story "You get what you pay for!" and Mrs Blogspot has paid for a week in a Russian Gulag with cold and colder running water by the sounds of things. The other moral of this sad tale is "Never let Mrs Blogspot book the accommodation, you'll end up in bloody Rhyl!"

PS. I have to point out that Mrs BS is not entirely to blame for booking us into Stalag 21 as the Marine*********** Rhyl has a banner on it featuring Holly WillaBooby and Philip Schofield, the hosts of a dreadful morning telly programme on no less than the BBC!!!
