Set very secluded in a mountain valley opening to the beach on the north. The ride from the airport was a challenge. They drive on the left, road signs are all most non-existent and the road over the mountain referred to as “The Beast” is rightly named for its steep, narrow road with hair pin turns. We rented a car at the airport which was well worth it. Navigating the island was a fun adventure. After all how lost can you get on an island 7 miles wide and 26 miles long? The resort is setup with 4 unit villas to the east and west of the main building containing everything else. Stayed in a second floor garden view room on the west side the first night. Because of construction noise from renovations to the building next door we received a free room upgrade and were moved to an ocean view room on the east side. I would recommend the east side because the water pressure and TV reception were better and also the upper units are a lot nicer with wood cathedral ceilings and of course “the view” which is right out of a post card. Room 55 has the best view. The food and drinks were a little pricely but very good. Don’t miss the banana almond rum pancakes. Skip the seafood salad and the “Pirates Buffet”. Don’t be in a hurry, the service is kind a slow. For a quick snack sit at the bar. Room service was pretty fast with a pot of coffee. This is a very laid back resort. If you want to bring kids or party hard this is not the place. Everything including the bar closes at 11:00pm. For relaxation, romance and rest this place is heaven on earth! The island can be a bit intimidating. Buildings are small, run down, have bars over the windows and signs are small if at all and don’t match the maps. Don’t let this stop you from exploring. We visited Christiansted and Frederiksted. Stick to the 3 or 4 blocks around main board walk areas where there are nice shops with good deals and decent bar and restaurants. Point Udall was a great scenic drive and Divi Close

The resort itself is beautiful and I'm sure if you get in one of the rennovated rooms you will enjoy nothing but a wonderful time. Our only issue was the smoke alarm going off in our room several times during the night for more than one night. We ...Read more

If you want to relax and loose yourself in the tropics, this is the place. The resort is currently undergoing some renovations, so do not expect a 5 start palace. Frankly, I found the old rooms charming and comfortable. I hope they maintain the ...Read more

What's not to like about the view of the Carribean as you eat breakfast on the terrace. With an isolated beach and the resort at the end of a road no one knows is there, it's a place to relax - especially since cell phone don't work unless you go ...Read more
