Stayed at Splendore over a year ago. A great Villa, with lots of room and lots of privacy. It would definitely be top of my list to rent again.

We loved Caneel. The only Con we had was it seemed to limit the overall island experience, since we were paying so much and the beaches on site are so great, we didn't venture out much. We stayed near Scott, and were in between Scott and Caneel Beach. I'd do it again, but I didn't think it would be ...

We stayed at Splendore in mid-April. Great house. The directions are right...it's just hidden down that road. Best roadmark last month was to take the left at the house under construction. It's on the left about another 50-100yds. We had a great week of temps, as it was around 80 all week. We never ...

Just checking back with a few answers: We're from Northern KY. On the question on a resort versus a villa, that's a great question. My wife and I actually had this discussion on the island, and could not decide. I think it was actually a toss-up. We liked the beaches and setup of Caneel, but we love...

My wife and I made our second trip to St. John last week. First time was 3 years ago at Caneel Bay. I've seen the mixed revie...

Thanks for the comments so far. Even though you didn't realize it, both (vacationpants and pagirl) helped with the rental choice with your great reviews and comments of Splendore. Once I narrowed my possible choices, all signs pointed to Splendore. I don't think I've found a negative review yet, oth...

Making our second trip to St. John this April. Our first trip a few years ago we stayed at Caneel. Great week and loved the resort. Spent most of the time on Caneel's beaches, drove the island one day, and ate at a new restaurant every night (except visited Lime Inn twice). This time, we're at Splen...

vacationpants, would love to hear more of your thoughts about Splendore. We're staying there later this spring. Any tips?
Thanks.
