We weren't quite sure what to expect with LCBB, or with LC at all, to be honest, but we were pleasantly surprised. It is definitely an off-the-grid destination, and I'm glad we went, and that we choose LCBB. We stayed in the family bunkhouse with our adult son and his girlfriend. It was roomy and comfortable with 4 adults, since it's like a little duplex where you have separate bedrooms, and share a bathroom, and a veranda. I was worried we would be sweltering with no A/C, but found that the fans were sufficient to be comfortable. We really appreciated having a screened-in sleeping environment, since there are some mosquitoes. (not horribly so, but I wouldn't want to sleep with them.) Lol. We also felt that the price of the bunkhouse was more reasonable. The only downside of this unit is that it is located at the back of the property so, we did not find that there was much of a breeze. It was a very short walk to the restaurant though, so, it didn't bother us. We loved the fact that the resort uses the Sargaso seaweed on the walking paths. It made for an interesting very soft spongy walk. What a great idea! And I mean really, what else do you do with the stuff? It looked sharp. The path to the resort from the ferry is not as short as one may imagine looking at the map, but it was an interesting and safe walk. Be sure to summon help at the dock, with your luggage, though. And the distance is a consideration when going back and forth across the island, to town. You definitely need flashlights after dark, and your imagination can scare you - much more than the reality of the situation. It is completely safe. The beach only has sun until 4-ish or so, which was a bit of a bummer, but you can move upland a bit to a hammock or chair. The RADD deal was something I was curious about and wasn't sure if it was worth the money. We have big eaters in our family so, we decided to go for it. However, when figuring this out, you should know that the restaurant is not open late. I believe it closes at 6 or so. So, you need to figure out how that would work with your plans. You can pick off the regular menu. It just excludes the snack items, if I recall. But, because it closes early, and our days were so busy, we ended up not using one of our meals x 4 people. However, I would do it again. Great food. We did not find stellar snorkeling on the island as we had hoped, but to be fair, we did not make it to the North end by foot. Only on an excursion. The amazing service if our fondest memory of LCBB. They remembered all of our names from day-to-day, which blew us away. All restaurant staff are very friendly, and easy to get to know. While we can't compare it to any other accommodation on LC, we were quite happy at LCBB
