My family and I had an amazing week at La Collina! The place is much larger and nicer than the photos suggest, particularly the massive second story deck overlooking Great Cruz Bay! We enjoyed both quiet moments on the deck and in the pool, as well as fun-filled evenings when extended family staying at the Westin property below drove the two minutes up the hill to share a home-cooked meal and an evening together! Being from South Carolina, we are accustomed to central A/C in our homes. The four bedroom A/C units were fantastic, but we wanted more air movement in the main living space which is not air conditioned. Diane and her team immediately responded to our request and provided us with two extra stand-up fan units (and a bottle of No Natz insect repellent spray for the NoSeeUms - highly recommended!) to help make our stay much more comfortable! We cooked several meals in the kitchen and on the grill, enjoying both inside and outside dining. While the morning views from the pool and the deck are special, including catching a full rainbow one morning, the sunset views are sensational!! Our son, daughter and son-in-law had a great time traversing the island in search of the perfect hike and the perfect
beach. The challenging hike to Rams Head was fun (and very doable for a wide range of family members) and had incredible views! However, the family favorite “don’t miss it” beach spot was Cinnamon Bay beach on the North Shore! Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and amazingly deserted beaches we’ve ever seen! We were very fortunate to secure this family get-away week at the last minute, as the island was shutting down for a second time just as we were leaving. The attentiveness of Diane and her team made our stay very welcoming, and we appreciate all the TLC provided! St. John and La Collina are definitely on our list of return locations!
