Stunning, Spotless and... did I say Stunning already?

Stunning, Spotless and... did I say Stunning already?

Guest MaryAnne G.
Date of stay 04/01/13

Family of four - with twin 12-year-olds - stayed here a week and wow - it was everything we needed and more than we expected. The place itself is gorgeous - clean is important - so I'll mention that up front. Beds were really comfy too. The washer/dryer in the unit is really great - helped us minimize packing - and it's REALLY quiet so you can run the machines at night without fear of waking sleeping folks. The drinking water on the island is really good too - no need for bottles. But if you want a soda (on its own or to use as a mixer :) there's a soda machine just a hop from the unit that is $1.25 for an ice-cold 20-oz bottle - and the machine takes credit cards! Water pressure in the showers is great. The pool and beach are both pristine - both very well-cared for. Sam the bartender at the beach bar is lovely - and makes killer grown-up cocktails and kiddo smoothies - our daughter tried multiple strawberry/mango smoothies during our week around St. Thomas and St. John, but swore Sam's were the best. If you are runner - beware - there are LOTS of hills :) !! We never turned on the TVs - but there are great flatscreens everywhere. WiFi was super-reliable in the unit. A big bin of pool/beach toys for the condo was VERY appreciated by our kids! The resort management is super - they helped immensely in the amazing return of my husband's wallet - lost in the ocean and found (completely intact!) by a local snorkeler. Nancy (the owner) is a superb communicator - and even called us when we let her know about the lost wallet - she's great! I'd book this unit again in a heartbeat - and we fully intend to do so. Note also - you get a very safe vibe in the resort. We have stayed many places in many countries and know when we've got to be "on guard" and we never had that worry here. Sorry that my review is all over the place - but there are so many high points - and no low points - I could go on forever. However I would HIGHLY recommend renting a car.
