We are family with 19 & 16 year old boys who wanted separate bedrooms & this place was perfect. The space was decorated island tastefully (although could have less faux plants for my tastes) and was comfortable. It’s older and could use some floor & bathroom updates but was clean. Beds were comfortable, clean linens, extra towels, all we needed in kitchen, laundry, huge outdoor gallery to watch the waves on, pool was nice although no pool service at the time we were there and THREE bathrooms! The beach was small and rocky but pretty to walk along. Apparently during late summer months sargassum tends to collect and decompose. Some resorts won’t clean it up but this condo kept it under control so just watch for that when you are choosing a resort. The Palms Restaurant is sort of on property and descent food but don’t go if you’re in a hurry. Just be prepared to wait and have an extra island drink or two while waiting for food. The complex is ten minutes from Christiansted and we ended up going there for food the rest of our stay. Rent a car while here to avoid taxis. It’s really not that difficult to drive on the left side of the road, everyone drives slow anyway. We do not usually drive ourselves on vaca but followed advice to get car from Judi of St Croix. Super glad we did!
The management company was super amazing to work with. We changed properties mid-vacation because the sargassum was so bad down the beach that we couldn’t tolerate the smell INSIDE our condo. They rushed around and got cleaned for us in less than six hours. Kat was super understanding and accommodating and we would never hesitate to stay in one of Blue Sky RE managed properties again! There was an issue with the dishwasher one day as we were walking out the door and before we returned from lunch (on a Sunday), she had it fixed, dishes washed and even washed the towels we had thrown down in the kitchen floor.
Overall great trip to get scuba certification. This condo is centrally located but closer to Christiansted. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay in this exact unit again.
