Resorts with "Private" pool rooms
 
A few years ago we had the pleasure of staying at Cap Juluca in one of their "private pool" villas. The full size pool was surrounded by tall walls covered in lush greenery and flowering plants. It truly was PRIVATE!
We would like to find another resort in the Caribbean or Mexico which would offer the same.
Do you know of any others? We're not interested in rooms which offer "plunge" pools.... too small and generally not private. i.e. stayed at the new Mayakoba Rosewood villa with private pool but was totally open to people walking along the beach and your neighbors.
(I will post this on Latin America forum also)

Spice Island Beach Resort on Grenada has at least one suite with a private pool. Can't say how large it is, but it might be worth checking into.

At one time, the Calabash Hotel on Grenada also had some suites with private pools, but I'm not sure if they still exist.

Hurricane Cove Bungalows on Nevis has some suites with pools. Can't vouch for their privacy, as I'm still holding that destination on my short list of places yet to visit.

Pavilions and Pools on St. Thomas has totally private pools of reasonable size. Not in the same class as Cap Juluca, but we thought they were nice.

Just looked at Spice Island.... WOW!! That's what I'm talking about.
Parrot Cay can also be added to the list.

The Crane on Barbados has some full size pools on the first floor that might not be that private and some plunge pools on the upper floors that would certianly be private.

What about Biras Creek on Virgin Gorda? I believe they have some rooms with private pools.

If you have the budget look into Jade Mountain, St.Lucia. You can also look into Stonefield Villas in St. Lucia-we stayed there and loved it-the villa Frangipani has a private full sized pool. If we hit the lottery I'd love to stay at Jade, but Stonefield is beautifil and great for the price. Good luck!

Just ran across this fabulous "cottages".... not like any cottage I've seen!

A couple years ago we stayed at Ikal del Mar (now called Tides) I believe they used to be sister properties, but are now separate.

Glad you liked Spice Island. I also think that some of the suites at Horned Dorset Primavera on Puerto Rico have private pools. It's a Relais & Chateaux property.
