What do you say to no cell phone coverage, very limited internet access, and constant power outages? The bathrooms were claustrophobic and the air conditioner barely cools off the unit and you will learn how to sweat profusely. The unit itself is such a long drive from town where everything is happening. The air conditioner barely cools off the unit and you will learn how to sweat profusely. You can't rely on taxis out on the end of the island and there are no buses as there are on St. Thomas. Very isolated and the beach was nothing to brag about as it was all seaweed after you walk into the water. The beach is not walking distance from the rental as the owners clearly stated. The only thing we liked was the proximity to the casino. Not my idea of a vacation.

I've just returned from 10 glorious days at the Reef Golf and Beach resort in St. Croix and had a wonder ful time. I stayed at Villa Virginia which is a lovely villa with a private patio which faces the golf course and has the most extrodinary ocean view. The Villa was immaculate, very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were quite attentive, calling me upon my arrival to make sure that I arrived safely and that everything was in order when I arrived.

The Reef is a lovely gated community on the East End of St. Croix with a golf course, pool and beach. It was the most relaxing vacation of my life. I took walks on the Reef beach in the morning, read on the patio, shopped and explored several lovely beaches on the island including Shoys, Chanay Bay , Divi Beach tand the beach at the Buccaneer Hotel. They are all beautiful, but the beach at the Buccaneer does charge $4.00 pp to get in but they allow you to use their chairs. Duggans Restaurant right on the Reef property is fantastic but pricey. The Deep End bar at the Tamarinfd Reef hotel is also a good choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Point Udall is a definite must see, it's the easternly most point of the US owned territory and has incredible island views.

I definitely plan on visiting St. Croix again and would definitely stay at the Reef again. I would highly reccommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all and just relax!

My wife and and I stayed at Villa Virginia at the Reef on the East End of St. Croix for a week in October and had a wonderful time. The Reef is a beautiful gated resort community complete with a 9-hole golf course, a big pool and quiet beach. I would definitely recommend this resort and this one-bedroom villa. The patio faces the golf course which makes it very private and has a great view of the ocean. My wife and I enjoyed coctails on the patio and just looking at the ocean. The week before we arrived, St. Croix had quite a bit of rain and some flooding but the weather was beautiful while we were there. The locals were very happy about the rain, apparently it hardly ever rains like that. It rained a few times whiel we were there but it was quick showers. The Villa has a full kitchen with a gas grill outside which definitely saved us money on meals. I would recommend Cheesburgers in America's Paradise for a good burger and beer. A bit more expensive but worth trying are Duggans at the Reef and the Restaurant at the Buccaneer hotel. This was our second trip to St. Croix but our first staying at the Reef. We will definitely go back again next year.

My husband returned from a 10-day stay at the Reef Golf and Beach resort on April 29, 2006 and had a wonderful time. The Reef is located on the East End of St Croix which is beautiful and serene. Our 1-bedroom loft villa was confortable, tastefully decorated, and immaculate. The villa had a full kitchen which saved us a great deal of money on food; we ate breakfast and lunch in, and many evenings had a candle lit BBQ and a bottle of wine (Or frozen Rum Drinks) on the patio. The view from our patio was beautiful, overlooking the complex, the golf course and the water. The beach is within walking distance and there is a great restaurant, Duggans right on the beach. The deli and convenience store on the property came in very handy for a quick replensihment of supplies. There is also a 9-hole golf course, a pool, and tennis on the premises. The beaches on St Croix are beautiful and uncrowded. Definitely check out Sandy Point on the West End. Its a turtle nesting sanctuary and is only open on the weekends. The day we were there, we saw only 5 other people the entire day and the water was so warm it was like sitting is a spa. All the beaches were beautiful, Shoys and Grapetree Bay are also great for swimming and snorkeling. We had a great vacation and will definitely go back to St. Croix next year. We've already reserved the same villa again for next year. I would highly recommend St. Croix and the Reef has everything you could possibly want from a vacation.
