I called on 3-15-07 and spoke to Adele. I was inquiring about available rooms for this month. I felt pretty silly for asking at the "last minute", but Adele made me feel comfortable, she is so pleasant on the phone. But, here's the kicker... when she told me she didn't have any available rooms for my request, she gave me MULTIPLE alternatives, with examples of ideas, or other travelers opinions on villas or B&B's, several tips for the savvy traveler, and some nice parting words. I tell you, I have not encountered such genuine kindness in such a long time. It was so nice to hear! Anyone that is able to spend time here at Adele's place is in for a Kindness Treat!

My husband and I have just returned from spending a week at the Villa Margarita. I agree with all the other people who have written to Trip Advisor. We booked this property a year ago after reading all
the reviews about St. Croix. We had high expectations and all of
our expectations were met if not surpassed. Upon arriving we were
greeted by Blade, the owners large german shepard. She was a
sweet dog but made you feel safe and secure while staying at the
Villa. She is never allowed in any of the suites. Adele welcomed
us. She marked up a St. Croix guide for us with recommendations
on places to go, eat and shop. She also gave us directions.

While we unpacked she made two delicious rum drinks. She gave us drinks every night that we were there. She would chat with us around the pool. She would call and set up dinner reservations. While we were there we ate breakfast on our deck and listened to the waves. We never needed to use the AC. We would open the two sliding glass door and receive a cooling breeze while we listened to the waves hit the shore.

There is no beach on the property. We would walk down along the shore about 100 feet and find a nice beach for swimming and sun bathing.

Villa Margarita is a short drive to shopping and restaurants.
We both highly recommend the Villa. We both would love to return. One week is not enough. Many thanks to Adele and her husband, John.

Just returned from a one week stay at Villa Margarita. This guest house is absolutely awesome!

The suites are clean and well stocked, the swimming pool/deck area is great, and the hosts are the best we have ever had to deal with!

You can simply relax and stay on property or if you are like us, you can "get after it" by going out to all parts of the island from ealry morning to late afternoon. Upon your return to the Villa, be sure to save time form Adele's wonderful rum punches! Adele and John, owners of the guest house, know how to make their guest feel special!

St. Croix is a beautiful island with great beaches and awesome weather. You won't want to leave!

My husband and I arrived at Villa Margarita after a less than perfect stay at another cottage on St. Croix. We were so thrilled with Villa Margarita, from our drive out along the Salt River Bay to our entrance into the home through a large and spacious foyer, that we wished we had booked our 8 nights at Villa Margarita instead of only 4 nights!!! Villa Margarita has a gorgeous location on a small cliff above the Caribbean Sea, which catches the most delicious breezes and affords both sunrise/moonrise and sunset views. On the multi-tiered decks below, a refreshing pool overlooks the lushly landscaped grounds and the beautiful reef.

Our warm and inviting welcome from both Adele and John, the husband and wife team who own and operate Villa Margarita, and their beautiful dog Blade, set the tone for the rest of our stay. An island cocktail hour hosted each evening by Adele and John gave us the opportunity to relax and meet the guests staying in the 2 other guest suites. As an aside, John makes the most delicious and potent Margaritas I have tasted in quite sometime!

We stayed in the East Suite, which is located on the second floor of the house and contained a small kitchen with everything you could possibly need to make a meal or a frozen island concoction and a lovely bath with a sliding door onto a small balcony with great views. A large sitting area with a dining table, chairs, couch, cable TV and DVD/CD player had sliding doors opening onto a long balcony. The balcony, shared with the West Suite yet extremely private, provided stunning views of the Caribbean Sea. With a small table and chairs for lounging, it was the perfect spot for a sunrise coffee or some late afternoon reading. The bedroom was off the sitting area, with plenty of space and its own set of sliding doors to the balcony and gorgeous views. Ceiling fans took advantage of the constant ocean breezes and kept the entire suite cool. If it felt warm at all we had a very quiet air conditioner, which would cool the suite down in a matter of moments.

Each suite (and the house as well) was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated in a different color and theme. Our suite had colorful parrots as the motif and our rooms were comfortably furnished in soothing tones of sea green and accented with bright tropical flower prints and wall hangings. We even had a colorful parrot hanging over our bed , which swayed back and forth in the wonderful breezes. Our bath was supplied with an abundance of extra fluffy towels and an exceptional line of bath soaps and lotions. We were also provided with high quality beach towels, chairs and coolers if we needed them.

Adele and John were the absolute perfect hosts, as they offered wonderful insight on St. Croix, where to go for entertainment, what local restaurants to dine at, beaches to visit, etc. They even invited us on several evenings to share in some island entertainment. We accompanied Adele and John to the Rainbow Beach Bar outside Fredericksted one evening, to hear Kurt Briggs Schindler who put on a fabulous one-man show! A perfect evening with a lovely sunset, great music, dancing on the sand and meeting some other wonderful residents of St. Croix, courtesy of Adele and John, who themselves, are a most interesting and fun couple.

Villa Margarita was the perfect ending to our adventurous and amazing 2 week visit to St. Croix. We would come back to both St. Croix and Villa Margarita in a heartbeat. You will not find more gracious hosts than Adele & John anywhere and Villa Margarita is hard to beat for value and amenities and its' beautiful location. We would say it is "Pure Perfection"!
