Built
in accordance with Green Globe principles — all materials were locally sourced — the Alila
sits on the southern coast of the Bukit Peninsula, a
quiet corner known for fabulous surfing and even more fabulous temples; the resort's knowledgeable guides lead tours.
There was a perfect spot next to the dining table to put our dog's extra large crate, and it fit just right.There was a vacuum
in the closet, and we used it to try and keep up with our dog's hair.She is a golden retriever, and we thought she was molting!Hair everywhere and we kept bedroom doors closed, but we did our best to stay on top of it.She behaved like a pampered princess, and she wasn't crazy about the heat and the humidity.One evening we
sat out on the porch with her, enjoying the evening
in the rocking chairs, and when we came inside the BRB she collapsed on the floor inside and sighed.She apparently was thankful for the central air conditioning!For that reason, I think we will leave her with one of our daughters the next time we visit and stay with the Mermaids.The BRB is located
in a
quiet neighborhood which was perfect for us.Even better, it is located around the
corner from AJ's Dockside Restaurant.Good food and perfect outdoor views of the sunset and the marsh from the outside tables.For those dinners when you would like to eat
in, there is a grill
in the backyard with a cover, and we used it multiple times.We had an excellent experience with the Mermaids, and we will most definitely stay with the Mermaids when we visit Tybee Island again.
