The entry courtyard with its fountain, colourful bougainvillea, banana and palm trees welcomes you to Cielo - a truly relaxing and very private hideaway set high on a hillside with spectacular views of Cane Garden Bay, St John, St Thomas, and islands beyond. Three pavilions offer spacious and informal seclusion. One of the poolside pavilions houses the large Great Room with bamboo blinds and a curved sofa covered in bright fabrics, and connects to the well-equipped kitchen via a cool lanai set for alfresco dining. Just outside the Great Room is a covered area overlooking the coral stone-tiled pool courtyard, edged by trees and flowering tropical plants. Completing this pavilion is the Sea Turtle Suite, a two-story retreat with a sitting room on the main level (the sitting room has a double futon), and two staircases which leads to its very private queen bedroom/bath suite below with its own sun deck and double hammock. Cielo's main pavilion offers the Caribbean Reef Room, an air-conditioned pool-side king (or double-twin) bedroom/bath suite. On the upper level are two more king bedroom/bath suites - the Oasis Suite and Hibiscus Haven Suite - one of these breezy king suites features its own step-out balcony and offers magnificent ocean views. The third pavilion, Coral Cottage, houses an air-conditioned queen suite featuring its own secluded patio for private sunbathing and an enticing alfresco shower with stunning ocean views. Designed to provide both togetherness and seclusion, this serene villa with flower-laden gardens, native stonework and colourful tiles blends its bright, light and easy-going aura with constant cool breezes and wonderful sea views to provide a special ambience for families and friends seeking a most special Caribbean vacation. |
