Dear Bonnie You promised we would love Royal Palms, how right you were…..a serene oasis whose views greeted us each morning and serenaded us every night. In the days ahead as we face the final days of our New England weather, our time here will serve as a reminder thatnParadise is just a plane ride (and a connection) away! Best Tom and Laura Keery MA

Twenty seven years ago we honeymooned at Tamarind Reef. Our return to St. Croix is everything we could have wanted. Your home is as promised, the most comfortable paradise we imagined. This was our first vacation with the McCarthy’s who put your well equipped kitchen to expert use. We had many spectacular sunset dinners watching what I liked to call “the show.” Thanks to you and your manager, Dan, for all your efforts. You made is feel well cared for and welcome.

Dear Bonnie Thank you for allowing us to stay at your villa. Clearly it is a beautiful place. It cannot be put into words or pictures. We traveled the island. I personally like Christiansted the best. We have stayed on the other USVI’s and on Tortola. They have there pluses, however I liked this island the most! Hopefully we might come back sometime soon. Thank you again Bill and Sue Richardson PS: How could I go without mentioning the vista from your pool deck, both day and night!!!

We had a perfect week. We had everything we needed and plenty of helpful tips from Dan. We normally go out to eat most every night on vacation, but we had the great pleasure of vacationing with a real gourmet couple that didn't want to leave the excellent views. So we ate in and had a great time. The home was every bit as described. We very much enjoyed downtown Christiansted, Captain Carl and our trip to Buck Island, and Tutto Bene. We even got take out Saganaki and greek salad from the Pickled Greek to go along with one of our meals. While is was a bit expensive, it was fantastic. Be sure to snorkel Cane Bay!

Wow, what a great first impression as you walk in the front gate…. the most incredible view. Then as you walk into the villa you will feel as if you have stepped into the pages of “Coastal Living” or “Architectural Digest” magazines. We have stayed in dozens of condos, homes and villas all over the country and Royal Palms is at the very top of our list in all categories. The design of the villa is wonderful. My husband and myself went with my sister and her husband. We each had our own private bedroom suites off of the main living area, making it feel like we were at a first class resort. Our biggest problem was deciding were to hang out: the pool, wonderful covered verandas, beautiful appointed living room, well equipped kitchen, garden setting lanai or at our little private seating next to our bedroom suites. There are ocean views from everywhere!!! The location of Royal Palms was perfect home base to all St. Croix activities. The entire time we were at the villa, all we talked about was planning our next trip to Royal Palms. Bonnie, we cannot thank you enough for sharing your home away from home with us.
Owner response:I want t thank you for your compliments paid on this site about your visit to Royal Palms It makes me smile to know I am making so many people so happy! Please come back again. I offer a 10% discount to all returning guests.

I've been waiting to write to you about our fabulous stay at Royal Palm Villa. Thank you so much for accommodating us on our trip. What a magnificent vacation we had in St. Croix. Dan met us at the airport and he was great with suggestions and ideas. He stopped in to check on things a few times and made sure we had what we needed. Our kids were so appreciative of your home, it's location and of course the ability to swim whenever. We took a day to go fishing (that is what Peter likes) and he caught a 30 lb. Wahoo. We also sent the kids on a jet skiing and snorkling adventure. We saw all of the sights, ate well, cooked in, dined out, beached it and did some driving. I woke early almost every day, opened up all the doors and had coffee with the sunrise. What a special view and location you have. I have attached a picture of us having dinner at Savant. That was the first Saturday we were there. Peter and I then went back on our last night for a final awesome dinner. We even bought one of their coffee devices (also picture attached). Loved it!! Anyway, I could go on and on. We wrote you a message in your guest book. What everyone else said who came before us, we felt too.
Owner response:One more happy guest!
