This suite was inspired by local street parades and surprises and the Caribbean vibes that influence them. Throughout the space, you'll find an incredible 2-story mural depicting a Mardi Gras parade (featuring a custom from the artist and other real life figures), a plywood cutout and photographs depicting a Second Line (a spontaneous walking parade), acrylic paintings of colorful local homes and fruit, and a hanging installation of photography printed on Caribbean fabric.

Based on the listing pictures, I was a little worried The Syd was going to be "too good to be true" because the listing makes the facilities look so nice - but let me tell you, the pictures don't even do The Syd justice for how AMAZING it is once you actually get there.
I booked all four units (in the L shaped building - A, B, C, and D units)) for an annual team meeting, which consisted of 22 guests. Not only were we very comfortably accommodated, we actually had tons of extra room to spread out throughout the property.
I was so impressed by the quality of all of the fixtures/furnishings of The Syd. From the murals on the walls (which are stunningly beautiful), to the comfort of the beds/couches/seating, to the pool area (saltwater pool was a huge bonus); The Syd is beyond outstanding, in every way possible. Not only was the host extremely responsive, but there is actually staff on site at The Syd every day, who are all very friendly and accommodating.
I can't speak to staying at the Syd while there are also other guests at the property, but I can say, without question, that in the many years I have booked VRBOs for my team's annual meeting; The Syd was BY FAR the most amazing place we have stayed. To a person, everyone on my team was totally dazzled by how unique and fun The Syd accommodations were.
Thank you so much "The Syd"!!!!! - Bill
