“We had a wonderful stay at Isle Blue’s Mer Soliel Villa in late November and early December 2025 for our daughter’s wedding. Mer Soliel is a beautiful villa with 5 bedrooms. All bedrooms have on-suite bathrooms which is so nice for privacy. The main house has 3 bedrooms, and the guest house has 2 bedrooms. The house is a stunning open-air living space for the main living areas: kitchen and dining. With a comfy living room/ TV room that could be closed off and air conditioned if needed. All the bedrooms were beautiful and spacious. And of course, the pool and view took your breath away. We had the best seat in the house for sunset every evening. The house is well maintained and the staff were exceptional. From the beginning of the experience interacting with the booking agent and concierge Mary Patti, to the onsite staff, the service was exceptional. Our housekeeper Mercia and the groundskeeper Angus were great. Our on-island concierge Camille was extraordinarily helpful, helping us to reorganize a dinner when our plane was late, and having a taxi bring us an item we accidentally left at the villa when we were at the airport for departure. All the staff went above and beyond. One item that I did find annoying was the entry to the gate at the end of the street. With up to 5 adult couples staying at the villa with only two means to open the gate, it put a damper on coming and going of the independent couples. The gate operators whom you had to call to open the gate if you did not have the fob, were rude and inconsistent.”

Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review. We are truly honored that Mer Soleil was part of such a meaningful celebration for your daughter’s wedding. It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the layout, privacy, open living spaces, and those unforgettable sunsets. We are especially grateful for your kind words about Mary Patti, Mercia, Angus, and Camille. They will be deeply touched to know their care and dedication made such a difference during your stay. Camille’s support in those last minute moments is exactly the level of service we strive to provide. We also sincerely appreciate you sharing your feedback regarding the gate access. We understand how that could affect the ease of coming and going, especially with a larger group, and we will follow up with our local partners to review this and work toward improvements. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back again in the future for another special stay. Warm regards, The Isle Blue Team

“Mer Soleil needs to be rated a 10, if possible. The villa was absolutely amazing!! You can tell that the layout of the entire villa was carefully thought out to allow all guests the most memorable time imaginable. Breath-taking views of the ocean and the privacy & security of being in a gated community made our stay and experience at Mer Soleil unforgettable. The entire local concierge, housekeeper, and groundskeeper were so accommodating and friendly. Angus warmly welcomed us upon our arrival. Any requests we needed while there were always handled promptly and without issues. Beautiful detail in the decor and the space was big enough for large gatherings with family. This villa has made it very hard for us to go back to staying at a regular hotel. We will start booking our future villa stays now with Isle Blue for our travels. Travel date: July 15, 2023”
