| We recently spent 8 days on Saint Croix in the US Virgin Islands and
we certainly will return. One of the reasons our trip was so
wonderful was the hotel we ended up selecting, totally by accident.
It was The Pink Fancy Hotel in the town of Christiansted. When we
arrived and walked through the gates we knew we had found a hidden
treasure. The main building was first constructed in the 18th
century. It has had many lives over the centuries, once as a private
home for a famous Broadway actress. The current owners took over the
hotel about 3 years ago and began a major renovation. Many locals,
when told of where we were staying, told us how proud they are of the
renovation of the old hotel. The grounds are lusciously landscaped
with tropical plants, flowers, fountains and walking paths. In the
center of the complex is a beautiful tile pool, perfectly shaded on
one side, with bright sun shining down on the other. The owners,
using tropical vegetation and comfortable furniture, have created and
are still constructing several areas around the grounds where you can
go to simply get away and relax. But the real attractions at the
Pink Fancy are it rooms, especially if you enjoy antique Victorian
furniture. The new owners once owned an antique shop and they have
furnish each room with collectables. From Empire dressers to
Eastlake desks to large king size four poster beds, the rooms at the
Pink Fancy are almost too good to be true. The location of the hotel
was perfect. It is within 3 blocks of the main shopping and tourist
areas. Close enough to walk to, but far enough away to be out of the
noise. The owners, David and Motasem, are very friendly and
knowledgeable. They greet you as you come and go and provide a
continental breakfast each morning. They go out of their way booking
tours, advising on restaurants, getting reservations, doing all they
can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We certainly hope to
return soon. |
