Villa Details
St. John
Description
Villa Ambiance is a lovely villa located hillside and featuring dazzling vistas from Rendezvous Bay to St. Thomas as well as magnificent sunsets.
Entrance to the villa is through a flower filled arbor and across a bridge over the pool into the main living area. The living areas are spacious and feature terracotta tiled floors, rattan furnishings and bright island artwork.
The home features three identical master suites, each with outdoor showers and wonderful views.
A spacious loft, also, serves as a bedroom with additional bedding.
What a wonderful trip! Of course the highlight was our wedding on Hawksnest beach and I would highly recommend Ann Marie Porter as a minister. We ate at Morgan's Mango one night and it was very good. We also used Calypso to rent a dingy and alhough I had read some not so complimentary things about them we had no problems and I would recommend them as well. We ordered a cake from East/West catering and it was wonderful. The flowers from Passion Flower were just beautiful as well. The house was perfect and we are thinking of going again next year.

We booked this wonderful home in May, 2006 - knew it looked wonderful in the pictures and hoped for the best. We were thrilled that it turned out to be even more beautiful than we'd hoped! A very well thought out home, and views to die for. Great location for coming back and forth from Cruz Bay. Favorite activity was happy hour in the pool at sunset. A wonderful memory - hope to go back again soon!
Fabulous Accomodations!

We reserved the Ambiance as a family vacation villa during the week of my girlfriend's wedding. As busy as we were, we found plenty of time to relax at the Ambiance and explore St John. The house was gorgeous and extraordinarily equipped - there were cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, a gourmet equipped kitchen and fabulous sound system. The pool, grill and deck were the highlights!
La Tapa was decent but overpriced, Margarita Phil's was fun (the Grande Margaritas are to die for), and Woody's is a no-fail zone. Hawksnest, Cinnamon Bay and Maho were beautiful but Trunk was by far the most gorgeous!
We partied at the beautiful "Vistaero" (villa) for a cocktail party, dined at the Meridian (villa) for the rehearsal dinner, and attended the wedding (i was a bridesmaid) at Hawksnest. Coral World's Harbor Cat hosted the cocktail party as we travelled to St Thomas for the Reception.
This was a vacation of a lifetime!
A MAJOR LET DOWN

STAYED IN THE VILLA AMBIANCE FROM 7/28/07-8/4/07. VIEW WAS AMAZING AND LIVING ROOM AREA WAS QUITE NICE. POOL AND PATIO WERE GREAT AND WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME THERE. HOWEVER, THE LOFT WAS INFESTED WITH ANTS AND ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMEBERS GOT ABOUT 80 BITES THE FIRST NIGHT, FROM WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE BED BUGS OR ANT BITES. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ANTS THE MANAGEMENT SENT A MAN TO SPRAY, WHICH CONSISTED OF HIM COMING WITH A CAN OF RAID. THE AMOUNT OF BUGS WERE UNBELIEVABLE AND IT MADE IT HARD TO EVEN ENJOY SITTING OUTSIDE BECAUSE WE WERE COVERED IN BITES. IN THE OTHER BEDROOMS, THE AIR CONDITIONERS LEAKED CONSTANTLY CAUSING A FLOOD ON THE FLOOR AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SLEEP WITH THE CONSTANT DRIPPING SOUND. THERE WERE ALSO LIZARDS IN THE BEDROOMS AND IN THE OUTDOOR SHOWERS THERE WERE CONSTANT HERMIT CRABS AND OTHER CRITTERS. WE UNDERSTOOD THERE ARE ALWAYS BUGS ON ISLANDS BUT HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ALL OF OUR OTHER ISLAND STAYS. MANAGEMENT WAS SLOW TO RESPOND TO OUR PHONE CALLS AND DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT ANY OF OUR COMPLAINTS. SENT A LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO THE MANAGEMENT, DESTINATION ST. JOHN AND STILL HAVEN'T EVEN RECIEVED A RESPONSE BACK. ST. JOHN IS A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND BUT I WOULD NOT RECCOMEND THIS VILLA OR ANY OF DESTINATION ST. JOHN'S OTHER PROPERTIES.
