In this episode, I chat with Darryl Marsch, a lucky guest who’s experienced the magic of Goldeneye twice. From strolling along the same beaches Fleming wandered to visiting the villa where Casino Royale was born, Darryl’s stories bring Goldeneye to life in vivid detail.

Join us as we explore the tropical escape where Bond’s legacy began. Buckle up—it’s as close as you can get to living like Bond.
