Choosing a beach based on lunch plans!!

On our next trip we are planning to have lunch at: Miss Lucys and Shipwreck Landing. Can you recommend which beach we should visit after lunch? Really want to visit Waterlemon - is that close to either restaurant? What about Miss Vies?

Thanks.

Villa selection - will you help me narrow down my list???

I have five villas on my list!! I need to narrow it down to two and then send the two choices to the couple traveling with us. We will be in St. John the last week of November. We are interested in a villa with two equal master bedrooms, a pool and a great sunset view - especially from the hot tub. ...

Thanks Susana - I did see your reviews and they are definitely complimentary! I am glad to hear that you think the downstairs area is fine. There would be two couples on our trip - do you think the masters are pretty equal? What about sunset views? Can you see the sunset from the hot tub? I apprecia...

Re: Bongo Bongo too low for St. Thomas/sunset views?

We usually stay high up - Allesandra and Cloud 9, but I am considering Bongo Bongo for a future trip and I wonder if it sits too low on the Chocolate Hole hillside to get great views? Any thoughts? We are actually considering Alessandra and Bongo Bongo! Were you happy with the sunset view from Ales...

Cocotier has some good sunset and St. Thomas night views. It has four bedrooms vs. two bedrooms at Bongo Bongo. The Cocotier pool is on the same level as the main house and provides a great spot for afternoon chilling. Cheers, RickG Thanks Rick! Can you watch the sunset from the hot tub at Cocotier...

Re: Bongo Bongo v Cocotier

I can't speak for Cocotier (although we have stayed nearby and the views are really terrific) but my husband and I stayed at Bongo Bongo in 2007 and are planning on returning later this year. For us, the house is ideal. We love the open, indoor-outdoor floor plan, the huge deck and pool, the twinkl...

Bongo Bongo or Cocotier

We like both of these villas. Since a sunset view is important, does one villa have a better view than the other?

Thanks!

Casa de Sonadores

Hi - Can someone who has stayed there let me know if there is a sunset view from the hot tub? It is hard to tell from the pictures.

Also, I heard it was for sale last year - is that still the case?

Thanks.

Wings Over Water Villa

We are looking at this villa for our next trip. Would love to hear from someone who has actually stayed there. Pros? Cons?

It is a little over our price range but I am trying to convince the other couple that it will be worth it!!

Coyoba Villa

Looking for any recent reviews. Seems I read somewhere a while back about an issue with the hot tub? Would like to know about the views and privacy -other villas close by?

Thanks.
