Mangrove Lagoon Tours and Activities

Location is not bad, but is not wakable at surroundings area. A trolley to redhook could be a great option if available. The beach bistro Sangrias, if they open until at least 10 or 11pm can give guests a great alternative ro stay at rhe hotel instead of going out.

Great resort. I chose it for having both ocean access and a great pool. The room was spacious for myself and two teens. Also, having a full size refrigerator AND laundry facilities available is also a huge perk!

Check-in and check-out were super simple. Office staff communicates by text upon flight arrival and drops a pin for easy navigation. St John roads are an adventure all by themself, so the pin really helps. We stayed in Guave and the view was stunning. From the spacious balcony you can see all of BVI as well Coral Bay and the east end of St. John. The unit is very nicely decorated and in good shape. The spacious kitchen has a surprising number of appliances, gadgets and even some common spices and condiments which really nice. The grounds are well kept as in the awesome infinity pool, though the property is a fairly steep hill and there are 54 steps between the upper units and the pool, and a few dozen more down to the rarely staffed office. The ladies are quick to respond to texts or calls though. There is a market just down the (very steep) hill, but the 20 minute drive into Cruz bay is well worth it (better still, stop by their market before heading to the mountain top). Their markets are better stocked and about 30% cheaper. If you want a peaceful retreat away from crowded family resort life and the best view on the island, Calichi is the place to be.
