Our trip to St.Thomas was amazing. taking a group of 4 kids, the youngest being 19, is always a gamble. The Pearl of Paradise made it a winning bet. The unit was beautiful, clean and really well appointed. We liked it better than the unit my brother-in-law and his family stayed at, and it was a two bedroom unit. Evenings on the deck, swimming at the pool, eating at the restaurant, driving to the property were all great times. We can't stop talking about all the fun we had. The hurricane damage made us realize how fragile our environment is, and made us respect the strengths of the islanders, the birds, lizards, mongooses, and the plant life. Everything there is strong and beautiful. The downtown, the mountain top, the trip to St. John's were amazing. We want to return, and my daughter is seriously considering moving there when she graduates. To say we had a great time at the Pearl of Paradise, and the A.V.I. is an understatement.
