La Sirena - Kiddel Bay

My beautiful new wife and I enjoyed paradise at La Sirena. Make sure you get down to the Tourist Trap to see Larry and have some nachos.
Thank you!

Hello! We definitely enjoyed our stay here in St. John! Here are some quick notes:
Leave the sugar bowl out for the birds like everyone said-AWESOME
Don’t leave food out even for 10min in the dark, even with the lights on outside. There are random animals!
Skinny Legs—order a painkiller—it’s a must!
Rent kayaks from Cinnamon Bay.
Stargazing by the pool---YES.
Ok, got to go catch a ferry over to the British side! Thanks for a great time!
Love from Chicago!

Loved La Sirena and St. John. Will be back. Maho-turtles! Trunk-snorkel trail, relaxing. Kiddle-tidal pools with fish, great for the kids-great snorkeling.
Eat at Vie’s, Miss Lucy’s, Rhumblines…Most memorable event: being chased by a donkey who wanted another granola bar! (I knew we shouldn’t have fed him)
Have fun!

We’ve had an amazing time and it will be hard to leave. This is our second time to St. John, but the first for our 3 kids. This is our first time at La Sirena-we found it to be well appointed, completely relaxing and a beautiful outdoor living space with incredible views! There’s nothing like having a corner of the world nearly completely to ourselves. We rented a vehicle at the airport so we could provision up on St. Thomas before taking the car ferry over. K-Mart in Tutu Mall had all the essentials including swim noodles which we are leaving here for others to enjoy for easy snorkeling. Bought all our food in Red Hook before coming over on the ferry. You can’t beat having an evening meal at home with such private dining on the deck after a fun day of snorkeling and beach combing! Don’t miss the local fishermen selling their catch-of-the-day. One in Coral Bay, several in Cruz Bay. Snorkeling was great-reef shark, stingray, sea turtles, eel, tarpon, barracuda, sea cucumbers, etc…Our favorite was Waterlemon Cay for sea turtles and stingray. The walk/swim to the Cay was worth it. Trunk Bay was beautiful and the underwater trail is fun. We hit it on a no-cruise ship day and it was much less crowded without the cruise traffic-the only way to see it, really. Daytrip to BVI—highly recommended—The Baths at Virgin Gorda, lunch at Cooper Island, snorkeling at Norman Island and the Indians…We’ll miss this place-it’s been perfect! Thanks to the O’Briens for having such a private location and beautiful home. Won’t miss the dirt road but it’s not bad with a 4 wheel drive-even when it’s pouring down rain

First thing to do is put out sugar in a bowl for the “bananaquits” (yellow and black birds). Second, go to Salt Pond Beach. It is beautiful and great for a snorkel. After that..”Drink Right, Keep Left” GET BUG SPRAY!! LOTS OF IT!! If you want to avoid hangovers, drink the Island rum Cruzan; it has not failed me yet. Skinny Legs has great food! The burgers are awesome and so is the mahi sandwich. The food at Woody’s (Cruz Bay) was unbelievable! I got Platter #2 and boy was I glad I did. Last day here- Went to Jost Van Dyke. Soggy Dollar was all it was said to be. Chatted with a couple that was on a 3.5mil yacht. Nice people, nicer boat- I’m jealous. Time to get some sleep and deal with the airports tomorrow. Sad to go but glad to see the kids. Chicago, here we come!
Thanks Windspree!

Beautiful first time on St. John at La Sirena.  The villa is great-the drive in is worth it for the comforts and quiet here.  Very peaceful and relaxing. The beaches were incredible—favorite: Francis Bay-no matter how windy it is the water is calm. Good snorkeling there as well as Maho.  Dining: Brunch at Miss Lucy’s, lunch at Skinny Legs, dinner at Fish Trap and  ZoZo’s.  Island Blues has good music and not too far of a drive. Grilling out and cocktails here was the best way to end the day! The stars take your breath away.  Our companions have been here before; needless to say we will all be back.

La Sirena…as enchanting as the rock upon which she is perched! Star gazing until the full moon rises. Sleeping to ocean breezes.  Awakened by the rising sun and song of the bananaquits.  Snorkeling on our private little bay, seeing more treasures of the sea than other bays hold.  La Sirena…a perfect hostess. We anticipate our return to your exquisite island hospitality! Favorites: Snorkeling: Kiddel Bay, Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay. Sailing for the Day: Cloud 9 out of Cruz Bay to Jost Van Dyke…Foxys’ roti for lunch…Painkiller at Soggy Dollar, White Bay.  Dining: Breakfast: La Sirena! Lunch: Tourist Trap-lobseter roll, fish tacos. Buger::Skinny Legs Dinner: Miss Lucy’s, Sweet Plantains. We can’t wait to return!

WOW! First time on St. John and at La Sirena. Wanted for nothing. The pad has it all and is very comfortably appointed. Ate out only once ‘cause who could resist the pull of pool-side or deck dining? Alternated pool days with beach days. One week is not enough--you are just starting to get your fill on the day you leave.  Will definitely be back and hopefully for longer!

Enjoyed our stay, beauty and peace. The luxury of silence. Will be back

Have stayed at private villas in Mexico, Belize and Eleuthera. BUT La Sirena and all the amenities-beach/ocean view, secluded and beautiful-is the nicest villa of all. Came to snorkel and Kiddel Bay delivered! Salt Pond was also nice, and Great Lameshur was our favorite. Ate at Sweet Plantains and Aqua Bistro, but bought some fresh snapper for Lily’s, grilled at home, and liked it as much as any restaurant food. Always sighed with relief uopon return to La Sirena-love the pool-layout is great for returning with beach gear, easily stowed downstairs. Explored Waterlemon Cay-most abundant undersea plant life but limited fish-lots of starfish though. Little Lameshur was amazing snorkeling. Love the quiet side of the island and think we did great in choosing La Sirena!
