Celebrated my best friend’s 50th birthday at her favorite place, St. Croix and loved our stay at SolMates at Villa Madeleine. The villa is on a beautiful hillside overlooking the ocean and the green hills around it. Patricia and Tom provided everything we needed (toiletries, coffee, beach chairs, lots of beach towels, etc.). Our favorite part was hanging around the private pool with the best pool floats ever! No matter what time of day, you could always go for a dip in the pool. Loved the French doors from your own bedroom leading right to the pool. If you want relaxation and quiet, this is the place for you. It’s best to get a Jeep in St. Croix to really explore the island. There are so many great places nearby. You are only about 9 minutes from Point Udall for the best sunrises. We hiked to nearby Isaac’s Bay and Jack’s Bay. Jack’s Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island…only accessible by foot. Go early right after sunrise and take your snorkel gear and water. We had the entire beach to ourselves. In the area are Shoy’s, Cheney, and Cramer’s beaches and Ziggy’s, Deep End (Caribbean Night with Moko Jumbies), Castaways, and Duggan’s for restaurants and bars. Christiansted is only about 15 minutes away. This trip we found a wonderful pizza/Italian place there called Alfio’s. Amazing people, food, and drinks. And then there’s the North Shore and western side to adventure to with so much to see and do! Absolutely loved our vacation and villa!
