Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The villa was perfect. I highly recommend it. Nicely decorated, comfortable and had everything we needed.

Jan 11, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Solid accommodations, not great setting The condo had tons of rooms, well laid out for a large group and very well equipped for all of our needs. Beds were comfortable and condo had fabulous views. Pool was small but a very nice option. The property (condo and especially the health club) needs a deep cleaning and everything is showing lots of wear. We didn’t love the location. While close to Cruz Bay, tough getting there up some very steep hills and sketchy run down neighborhood surrounding The Hills. ##### Ann W.

The staff quickly responded to an issue with the dish washer and everyone was happy with the establishment. ##### Justin C. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thuy T. Aug 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication, location #### Family friendly The villas at the hills is perfect for family oriented friends. The area is quiet and its very relaxing. Definitely would recommend this place for anyone who is looking to really relax. Those who are looking for fun and partying should look at St. Thomas. My party arrived before I did so I was unaware of the non-smoking area. After cleaning up after our stay and tipping the housekeeper for no reason, I was still charged $500\. I did comply because we were at fault. But you'd think they would charge us less than that since we literally saw their employees smoking around the villa. That's why my party thought smoking outside would be fine. But we were fined regardless. ##### Thuy T. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misti J.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie K. Mar 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing property with beautiful views. LOVED our villa. Only complaint was that we could not stay longer! Amazing views! Would be nice if it was walkable to town, but it is a short drive. Only complaint is that some of the staff in the pool area were not very attentive or friendly. But overall it was a very pleasant stay and we would return for sure. ##### Katie K.

Our villa was in excellent condition as was the entire property. Great location for heading to Cruz Bay and rest of the island. Paula was our contact and was very helpful and great to work with. Definitely recommend. ##### Dana B. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie V., Greenwich CT USA Jan 13, 2017 #### Great condo in perfect location! We stayed here for a week over New Year. We are a family of 6 and this was a great condo for us. It was clean, comfortable and light filled with spacious rooms and terraces some of which had fabulous views over Cruz Bay. It was conveniently located - a five minute drive to town, and within easy reach of the island's beaches (we rented Jeeps and got around easily, although the driving does take a little getting used to - lots of very steep hills and while the driver's seat is on the left, you drive on the right like in the UK). Our only 2 small issues were that the Wifi stopped working 3 days before the end of our stay and was never fixed, and there were not enough beach towels. Other than that (and those were very minor issues), Carrie and Nicole were awesome in addressing all our needs and responding very quickly to our questions, in addition to be very helpful with booking activities and restaurants. We would definitely consider renting this condo again in the future. ##### Sophie V. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2016
