My family & I flew in to bury our uncle who passed away of cancer. I booked this place for my mother & I to stay but a cousin was looking for a place. I reached out to the property manager, who was able to accommodate my cousin with an air mattress after I paid an additional fee. I was very grateful for the accommodation in our time of need.
Just after we put my Uncle to rest, we took a 4th cousin to her rented place to change her clothes to attend the repass. She rode back with us & when the 3 of us who were staying went to change she wanted to take pictures. This was on a Friday around 1pm, per the description, the grounds are open to the public weekdays 9am-3pm. We were approached by a lady who asked us, “What’s going on?”, in an accusatory tone. This person did not introduce herself or explain why she was asking this question. My mom asked who she was & they stated they were the owner. We were confused because we knew we made accommodations. She told us these are two person rooms, only two people are allowed on the property & it’s in the rules & she didn’t understand why we were standing there looking confused. She also told us we looked angry & snapped her hands at us. We explained we were not angry, just confused because we had spoken to someone already.
As Black women from the island, this felt like a racist, passive aggressive encounter & it could have been handled better. We would’ve recommended others stay but I’d be wary of you’re Black or a local back to visit.
