Villa Choices

Post by jadkins08 »

I am still trying to decide which villa for our group of 7 next June. I have 8 places that I have researched and seem to fit our needs/wants. The group will be my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, wife, our son (will be 2 years old 12/30), and myself. Any advice on places that I should definitely delete from my list or places that you highly recommend would be appreciated.

Blue Agave
Soul Island
Crystal Seaview
Amani
Villa Colorado
Hale Lani
Villa Divine
Croix Vista

Would like to stay at $4500 for the week including taxes. Thanks for your help and God bless.

we stayed at Amani for a week and it is terrific, but at that time there was no A/C in the main living spaces; if you're visiting during the summer, it can get toasty! the villa changed ownership since we visited, so maybe the new owners installed A/C

Soul Island

Post by dannyboy »

We stayed at Soul Island for a week about a year ago and it's a very nice villa for the number in your party. It's got 4 bedrooms, 2 up, 2 down and a seperate kitchen area on both floors; central air throughout, a nice pool, and in our opinion, one of the greatest views on the island. It's very private, very well furnished; the only negative might be the steep drive down to the villa; although fully paved, it's got a couple steep sharp turns that might be a little scary for some folks! But overall, it's awesome!

Villas

If I were making the choice, I would eliminate Croix Vista. Although it seems to be a beautiful villa, it is not very convenient to the beaches or other things you may want to do in Cruz Bay. We have stayed in the Skytop area and it is a good half hour trip to the northshore beaches, and even longer to Francis and Maho. I would also be very leery of that long outdoor staircase with a 2 year old.
