I really must reply to this. My trips to SBH are simply sacred to me. We brought "friends" to SBH on one trip and they were so picky and unappreciative, we had an awful time and from then on, I have not and am not bringing anyone. Someone once said that other people can never appreciate the souvenirs you bring back from a trip as much as you, so don't bother bringing things back for others and expect them to appreciate what they mean to you. I can say the same for other people. Why not take the time to meet others on the island, or let the friends stay in their own villa and meet up as you wish. I have met so many wonderful people on SBH, especially those from our blog here, you will never be at a loss for people.
