ABRIGADO
Thank you for this magnificent holiday! Detail, decor, design ***! Many of our plans were rejected in favor of relaxing in this fabulous retreat! The Holcombs, IL, January 2011
Your home is beautiful and welcoming. After many trips to the tropics, our entire family has found the perfect villa! The Turners, Forest, VA, July 2010
We loved the kitchen and pool area and had some great dinners on the grill. It was wonderful! The Ericksons, Vienna, VA, July 2010
Your island home is truly beautiful, we enjoyed the views and the pool many times. Your home easily accommodates 8 adults, so we could have some quality time together, Abrigado is fully equipped, luxurious and paradise! The Blacks, Arlington, VA, July 2010
This has been by far the most enjoyable villa we have stayed in. It has been a memorable 10 days at Abrigado, celebrating our 31st anniversary. The Rennards, Lincoln RI, May 2010
The art work in this home is beautiful! We have visited St. John many times and this house was by far the best! The Llignerons, New Jersey, April 2010
Wish we could spend another week here, we did pool days as much as possible. The Herron Family, April 2010
Beautiful home, better than we hoped for, very thoughtfully appointed you even have good kitchen knives! Coming back to Abrigado after our adventures on St. John was perfect! The Hormels, DC, March 2010
CHRISTY ANN
We had a wonderful time at the Christy Ann Villa and in St. John. The villa was great and the views were incredible. The weather was good but it's a little humid for us folks from Colorado but we truly
enjoyed all of it. We will definitely be back. The beaches were beautiful and we were able to do a lot of snorkeling. We took a snorkel trip with Cloud Nine to an outer Cay, which was great snorkeling. We also took an all day boat trip with Bad Kitty Charters
to see the British Islands. That was really a great trip seeing 4 of the islands including The Baths. The Fitzgeralds, Colorado. May 2012
CORAL OASIS
This is by far the best vacation spot! The views are amazing, the villa is incredible, and the management staff was unbeatable. This villa has the best view on the island!! We loved (the view) so much, we got married by the pool. We can’t wait to see the
pictures. This won’t be our last trip here. It is hard to leave such a beautiful place. Shaun & Brittany Greer, April 2011
What a grand villa! The view is beyond description. We had a very relaxing enjoyable time and we do look forward to another visit. The Aubins (MN, TX), March 2011
LUMINARIA
Brunch at Miss Lucy's was great and we really enjoyed eating out on the patio at Luminaria. We also enjoyed watching the sun come up over the bay & seeing the hummingbirds
and banana keets. Thanks again for sharing your home, it is very beautiful and we cannot wait to return. The Oharas, Fenton, MI, Feb 2010
We think Luminaria is the perfect place to wake up each morning and come back to each evening after a day of exploring. The comfort of home, surrounded by tropical flowers
and cool breezes, offers the peace and tranquility that we've come to associate with this villa. That is why, God willing, we will be back each year. The Borrells, Newfoundland, NJ April 2010
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. The views are gorgeous and we cannot wait to come back to
St. John.
This was our first choice and it was the perfect pick for our honeymoon. The Parkers, TX Sept 2010
We came to
St. John
to escape Thanksgiving week in Dallas
with our CO friends. The escape was successful! This awesome place you call Luminaria made all of this possible! The Eggers, TX, Nov 2010
This was my 3rd stay at Luminaria and once again, I am sad to leave. It is truly a special piece
of paradise filled with great beauty and serenity. I consider Luminaria my home away from home. See you next year!
The Franklins,
OH, Jan 2011
We enjoyed Luminaria and appreciate all the lovely decorations and touches. We have been to
St. John
many times and this is our favorite villa so far. The views and breezes are amazing overall we had a great week and hate to leave! The Alversons, MI, Feb 2011
Luminaria – light – “to enlighten” You certainly enlightened our lives with your lovely home. We were
enlightened with your spectacular view overlooking many shades of blue and with rainbows galore. We were embraced by your lovely art pieces and your healing music. We enjoyed your illuminated waterfall and swimming with the dolphins. I ordered from amazon
your Vegetarian Cookbook by Linda Frazer. We snorkeled everyday enabling us to cross off all the fish in our Reef Fish Book that we wanted to see plus the delight of swimming with the Manta Rays that have created such a sensation at Francis Bay. We enjoyed
returning to Nazareth Lutheran Church. That congregation holds something very special – the great love in their hearts. We appreciated the great help from Christine at Viva. Thank you so much for sharing your paradise, Luminaria, with us. We shall return
next year. Warmly, Fran & Dave Cleven-
Rockford, IL March 2012
MAYAN SKY
Wish to heap praises on this house- so comfortable for family of six, eash with a very private suite; so very nicely furnished
and just the right menities all the way to condiments and fresh flowers. The Balsbaugh family, Boston MA Dec 2009
p.s. Viva villas is one of the best agents we have found in 20+ years of special family vacations.
Mayan Sky had everything we needed and we all enjoyed our time- either by the pool or just sitting on the
top deck, looking at the beautiful view.
The Johnsons, Minneapolis, MN Jan 2010
Mayan Sky has been the prefect home in a great location. Definitely one of our more memorable vacations.
The Viva staff were great and I’d definitely recommend this to any friends.
The Buttons from Wisconsin Jan 2010
Our second trip to St. John was made more memorable with our stay at Mayan Sky. Such a lovely villa and plenty
of room for our family. We appreciate the “extras” and the kids loved their rooms and the pool lit up at night.
The Ellis Family, Long Island, NY Feb 2010
We have had a beautiful week here at Mayan Sky. What a perfect spot to be in paradise-the breezes, the clouds,
the views, the bananaquits and hummingbirds-all was so soothing and peaceful. Thank you for the beautiful villa- it was perfect.
Rosemary and Brad Pasko April 2010
This villa is incredible. We searched high and low to make a perfect decision on a place-so glad we chose
Mayan Sky. It has a great location and the view is bar-none- nothing really compares. The beds were awesome. This was such a memorable trip for all of us-even the teenagers loved it! Thank you Mayan Sky and Viva vacations.
Bryant Family, Dallas TX July 2010
REEF BAY VIEW
Best trip ever we will be back! "This place is absolutely breathtaking. The view, seclusion, and breeze make you feel like you are worlds away. Explore the island, wear sunscreen, and have the time of your life. I know my family did. Thank you for sharing
your home with us! - The Cahill's, Wall NY- February 2012
REEF MADNESS
Your St. John home is spectacular. Every aspect is first class and a dream come true.
Our days have been filled with sunshine and pleasant breezes, mimosas and the gentle melody of the pool’s falling water. Our nights here gave us moonlight and dazzling stars as we reminisced on our forty years of being together on life’s journey. Because
of your home, we could be young lovers again. Our best, Rod and Pat Rohloff, Washington MI.
Reef Madness is so much…from the spectacular view to the balmy breezes, your villa is a jewel in this island paradise. Reef Madness is a work of love and it shows. All who enter can not help but to be filled with the joy and ease of St. John. Fondly, Cliff
and Ellen.
My husband and I both work in the restaurant industry and we have been in many kitchens. Yours is just beautiful. We visit the island almost every year and we definitely plan to come back to your villa. Reef Madness is at the top of our list. David and Katie,
Pechasic, CA.
Reef Madness has made our St. John stay absolutely wonderful. The pool! Oh, the pool….we all hung our arms over the edge with our island drinks in hand, overlooking the bay, while your surround-sound Caribbean music played in the background. What fun! We
are so glad to choose Reef Madness as it is a piece of paradise, artistically and emotionally. Thank you, thank you for opening up your house to us to create life-long memories. Jan, Sam and Cary Stanton, Clarksville, TN & Claudia and Jon Yake, Tampa, FL.
From the moment we entered your beautiful villa until we left, it was one magical experience after another. It is elegant, tasteful and inviting. The beds were so comfortable I slept like a baby. Swimming in your pool in late afternoon had a perfect bath-water
temperature. These memories will stay with us until we return to Reef Madness. John and Sharon Newsom, Seattle, WA.
We did not even want to leave to go anywhere else because we just loved the house and the views so much! Jennifer and Sean Karcz, Chicago, IL.
The obvious attention to detail you’ve put into the construction, design and outfitting of your home shows that you not only have excellent vision and taste, but a wonderful sense for anticipating the needs, wishes and comfort of all who stay here. Relaxing
in the pool with “that” view is the perfect way to unwind. You can just feel yourself being renewed. Steve and Leslie McKibben, Melbourne, FL.
After traveling the Caribbean for more than 15 years, we really hit the jackpot by selecting Reef Madness…truly the
best villa we’ve ever had the pleasure to use! Luida Goodell, Seattle, WA.
Thank you doesn’t even seem like enough to express our gratitude for your generosity in sharing this amazing place with us. =) For the first several days all we could say was “Wow!” This is so beautiful! We don’t deserve this! Then we decided that we did
=) we took advantage of all the beautiful days playing on the beaches ~ we took advantage of the few rainy days too ~ we packed our cooler & hit the beach & snorkeled anyway ~ then we drove till we hit sunshine & played some more. We enjoyed all the great
restaurants for pretty much every meal. Thanks again. Adrianne & David Neighbors, Burnsville NC. & Mike & Rebecca, Raleigh, NC. April 2011
Thanks again for a lovely vacation + the beautiful new view. Harry & Lil Lohse. May 2011
Our family experienced a week of luxurious relaxation at reef Madness. We loved everything—even the ride up and down the driveway! The Kuhrts from NY, PA & CT. May 2011
What a beautiful villa you have created. Luckily we were here two years ago at Siempre Azul and did a lot of the ruins and beaches. It was hard to leave Reef Madness, the pool and villa are delightful. We were in the pool every day. We bought food at Lilly’s
to cook here also. I was in the pool every evening, hanging out and enjoying the view. The drive was unlike any roller coaster at Cedar Point, had to get used to, big sigh every time we completed it. Great time, beautiful villa. The Wilsons, OH. June 2011
SOPRA MARE
Our second time at Sopre Mare and this property did not disappoint us! We love the location, the views, the privacy, and the accoutrements. You want for nothing at this property! It's Heaven! To have the doors open completely makes you feel like you are
on a cruite ship - without any of the gross buffets! We loved watching the cruise ships from the balcony and being so glad we were at Sopre Mare!!!, March 2012
WATERFALL
Spectacular house with an outstanding view. Best villa we've ever stayed at on St. John and we've stayed at many. Everything was immaculate and really appreciated. The Fish Bay location-away from it all but still convenient to town and beaches. Our new favorite
place on St. John!!. The Kleinberg & Coleman's January 2012
