  • Super chill location that is perfect for some down time while on vacation. It will take about 1.0 to 1.5 hours to walk the garden. The restaurant that is on premise is a perfect place to wrap up the garden with some excellent food and some amazing rum drinks. Glad we added this to our tour.
  • Enjoyed this as a part of a cruise excursion, but wish we had come just here so that we could have spent more time. The grounds are lovely and we had a guided tour by Marilyn, who was wonderful. Even the food and drinks at the cafe were of a much higher standard than I would expect from a smaller botanical garden. The vendors in the shops were also so fun and helpful. Definitely see Leslie and his art if you can!
