We vacationed the last week of June 2022.
Overall great stay! The unit was Clean, cozy, had a spacious bathroom, nice TV, nice outside table for eating dinner or drinking coffee!
The resort itself has 2 pools, nice beach, 2 bars w Restaurants, and a marina. Sudi’s restaurants is open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and is located up the hill amongst the condos that overlook the Marina.
The views off the balcony are breathtaking.
We went to St John which is a MUST do! I would suggest doing St John at the beginning of your trip because you will want to go back. Go to Trunk Bay for one of the best beaches in the world!
The Ferry cost 8 per person each way to get to St John.
We ate in the Red Hook area quite frequently, it cost $5 per person each way to get there by cab. There are a variety of very nice restaurants and the views of the marina and hillside are incredible.
Suggested excursion
Take a ride to Charlotte Amalie and tour the old cobblestone streets
I debated renting a car v cabs and landed on I’m not paying $900 to rent a Toyota Yaris for a week.
I ended up spending $520 in cab fare all week and we are a family of 3 (they charge per person) and that includes; Back and forth to the airport,
Trip to Bologna bay, At least 5 trips to Sapphire bay aTrip to Charlotte Amalie & Ferry ride to St John
The cabs are plentiful, just make sure you only use sanctioned cabs.
The Sargassum (seaweed) was bad that week but the resort paid for guys to remove it every day and they put exclusion barriers in the ocean to prevent the sargassum from coming in the beach part of the resort bay. Overall the Sargassum should not impact your stay it’s a very minor inconvenience.
The power went out the first day we were there for little periods of time, but otherwise not an issue.
The unit does not contain an oven. Perhaps a toaster oven could be added? Would totally come in handy for Reheating leftover food, making a frozen pizza, etc etc
The king bed is comfortable but has ruts in each side so climbing to the middle to hug the person on the other side is a little like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s probably time for a new mattress.
Last thing and this is super picky but the sunshade on the balcony does not have hooks to secure it on the railing which due to the wind makes it useless.
Overall this is a very nice condo in a great development! We will be back next year!
