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.
