"The stay at gingerbread was overall excellent. The villa is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and stunning, the location is perfect.
The host was pretty responsive at first since our flight was delayed and we missed our ferry — and had to come a day later but once we got there I did not hear from the host again even when I messaged him to ask about activities on the island or with the hotel. He also failed to mention the deadly trees/fruit, manchineel. Apparently all hotels are supposed to let the guests know but we had never heard of it. Yes, we were stupid and ate the fruit not knowing what it was… but when we started feeling light symptoms and asked a local, then went to the hospital, they were shocked that the hotel did not let us know about these trees.
All and all, writing this to warn folks about these trees!! And don’t eat fruit off the ground, kids."
