Great trip ... enjoyed the villa
We traveled with our 21-yo son and his girlfriend, and a set of 70-something parents. It takes some effort to get there with the car ferry to St. John, but things went fairly smoothly. The roads in St. John are even more "interesting" than St. Thomas. We found good restaurants. 1864 and Morgan's Mango were favorites. We enjoyed an afternoon of charter fishing, took a dinner sail to Lovango, and went to several beaches. We spent much of our time relaxing at Arco Iris around the pool. There is a lot to like about Arco Iris, but I couldn't get to a 5- star rating. The layout is great with separate entrances for all 3 bedroom suites. The view is great! The morning sun is nice. The kitchen is functional. There are plenty of coolers, beach chairs, and snorkel gear. We used the ping pong table a little. Communication with the hosts was easy and helpful. Grocery and arrival platter deliveries were fineness convenient.Generally, the furnishings are getting a little "beat up" with missing knobs on some kitchen drawers, and lots on scratches/marks - minor things overall. The villa is just off of a main road, and the truck traffic was quite loud if you're out by the pool. There were quite a few ants on the patio by the pool that were a nuisance. Again, no major issues, but compared to other USVI villas where we've stayed at similar rates, we put Arco Iris in the good category. I'd have given 4.5 stars if that was an option
