The pools were cleaned each morning from roughly 7:30 to 9:30. The pools tend to be quiet, with an older crowd and occasional families. Some birds, clearly comfortable with humans (and likely being fed frequently by the guests) will happily land nearby on your balcony. A number of beautiful birds also dwell here. A handful of monkeys seem to make this resort home, and could be seen some mornings.
The nearby Pure Ocean restaurant and bar is within easy reach for a bite to eat or a good drink. It was never an issue finding loungers on the Divi stretch of beach. The resort has a notable perk with their location on Dover Beach, a very walkable stretch of beach with good sand and good surf (if that's your thing).
The service here is quite good, with attentive front-desk staff, excellent groundskeepers, and quality cleaning crew. You won't be lacking in activities within walking distance, or a short taxi ride away. The Divi Southwinds resort is located in a highly-desirable spot in the St Lawrence Gap area.
