About this apartment rental
El Nido is our home away from home, and we love the time we get to spend here when we can. With cathedral ceilings throughout and very tastefully decorated with lots of teak furniture and original artwork, El Nido is the definition of a relaxed stay on St. John. A fully stocked kitchen with new appliances and everything you'll need for your stay is here. One large bedroom with air conditioning allows for two adults to live comfortably. Being on the third floor allows for gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea and Little St. James and Pillsbury Sound. The Caneel Bay trail is literally steps away which connects to the National Park trail system and will take you to Cruz Bay, the north shore beaches and all of the National Park trails.

The unit was perfect a good view close enough to Cruz bay but not in the heavy traffic area. The property manager Dena was so friendly and helpful. I would book this unit again just because of how welcoming Dena made us feel!

The condo is exactly as described! Enjoyed having a full kitchen. The condo is stocked with everything you need for an enjoyable vacation. The outdoor space was a great place to enjoy your morning coffee! The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The condo is about a mile to downtown Cruz bay but didn’t feel like it was walkable due to how narrow roads are plus the walk back to condo is uphill! Dena, the property manager, was awesome. Helped us find the property, quick to answer texts and offered nearby restaurant suggestion!

So pleased - it was perfect. Check in a breeze, we wanted for nothing. The views, pool, cool breezes in the evening, beach chairs, floaties, cooler and very easy access with parking - my only disappointment.... I couldn't stay longer ;) I look forward to returning.

The condo was very clean and comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen and absolutely stunning balcony views — definitely a highlight of our trip.We encountered several issues that made the experience less than ideal. It's not uncommon for St. John to experience rolling power outages, but unfortunately, the power went out during the night on Monday and wasn’t restored fully until Wednesday.Because the property uses a cistern water system, we couldn’t use running water or flush toilets while the power was out. We were also advised not to drink the tap water, and no bottled water was provided, which added to the inconvenience. On top of that, the pump for the cistern had burned out on Tuesday evening, so using the water wasn't possible until it was repaired the next morning. The property manager, Dena, suggested using buckets of water to flush the toilet as a temporary solution. While that helped somewhat, it wasn’t the experience we had hoped for. Once the power and water were restored on Wednesday, the rest of our stay went more smoothly, but the first few days were definitely challenging.We also found the pool murky — we couldn’t see the bottom — so we chose not to use it. Additionally, the outdoor grills were rusted and unusable, which was disappointing.We enjoyed the condo’s comfort and views, but the issues we faced made the stay less relaxing. If you’re planning to stay here, it’s worth being prepared for these potential challenges.
