“Cari-Beana”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2008

We stayed at the Cari-beana as an alternative to staying at one of the two resorts on St. John. The Villa is lovely, well screened (which is a big issue in the Carribean) and well stocked. It is also very clean.

If you climbed to the top of the stairs there is a small balcony from which you can see the stars.

There were a few negatives: the stairs in the main house are open and difficult. If you slip, you can really get hurt. There is one bedroom,one bathroom and the kitchen/living room on the first floor. The next level up is a room with two twin beds and an open (yes, I said open, as in NO DOOR) bathroom. If I had small children I would be concerned about them climbing the stairs. There is a lovely deck with plenty of room to barbeque and sun bathe. There is a 'plunge pool' which is really a very deep outdoor bathtub. It was cold and not very inviting so we didn't use it.
We liked the isolation and privacy of the Villa. There were people staying in an apartment downstairs and generally, they didn't bother us except for some screaming the first night.
The driveway is very very steep. However, once my husband mastered it, we had no problem.
In all, it was a lovely place and just as Cecelia described it. Well kept, clean, private. We highly recommend it.

  • Liked — the privacy, the space
  • Disliked — the steps in the house, the lack of a pool or hot tub, the steep driveway

“What a beautiful Villa!”

My family and I stayed at Cari-Beana Villa June 30-July 8, 2007.

We were pleasantly surprised wtih how beautiful and relaxing the Villa was. The pluge pool was exactly what we needed every night. Espeically the nights we walked up the hill.
The kitchen had everything we needed, the BBQ grill can in very handy almost every night.
The main bathroom was beautiful wtih a garden shower, and the villa is equipped wtih a large washer and dryer.
The Villa was supplied with towels and coolers and sand chairs for our use.
The views at night were breath taking and the random iguana's were a joy to see every morning.
My daughter and I are going back this January and staying at this exact Villa because the owner Cecilia was very accomidating and pleasant to deal with.

I highly recomend this villa!

Thanks Cecila for a great vacation! We will be back again!
