A Week in Heaven!!!
Review Submitted: August 13, 2010

My wife and I had a perfect week-long stay at Villa Mar de Amores. Everything in the Villa was as advertised, and the owners were very helpful in helping us plan for our stay. This was our first time in the Caribbean, and St. John was a perfect get-away. We chose to snorkel most days, and take advantage of the various west and north side beaches. Leinster Bay had the best snorkeling, with Honeymoon Beach coming in second. We had a wonderful time on the Bad Kitty (Calypso Tours) day-long boat trip to the British, VI and snorkeling at the Caves on Cooper Island.
Back to the Villa - there was total seclusion. Except for the brief Monday service by the local landscaping team, we were undisturbed. The villa's manager was very helpful and accommodating - she met us at the ferry, and helped us with the car rental (4-wheel drive is a must), and informing us of places to go and see. The pool offered wonderful morning and nighttime swims in the tropical air, and after a few nights with a full moon, the sky was dark enough to see tons of stars. The kitchen and outside grill gave us an opportunity to eat in, although we had wonderful meals at the Westin, Morgan's Mango, and even Skinny Legs in Coral Bay. From the deck, we could see St. Croix in the distance, and I spent hours just watching the waves come in to Rendezvous Bay 700 feet below the villa. The view was spectacular and peaceful, the villa decor was exactly as pictured, and we couldn't think of a better place to return to as soon as possible.
We did NOT want to leave!!!
