Le Lapin

This was our second trip to St John we visited 2 months before the hurricane hit in 2017. We were heartbroken when we learned that “paradise” was so badly damaged. We decided to re-visit in 2020 but then COVID hit. We must say that the process of delaying our trip one year was the easiest part of 2020! Thank you owners and Caribbean Villas! Le Lapin is absolutely the best villa we have vacationed in and we have visited across the USA. We were already looking to see if it is open next year. There is not ONE thing we would change about this place even the killer road leading up the hill to the condo (it gave it a hidden island feel). We would recommend: the Tap Room (I think we ate there 3 times!); Waterfront Watersports (we rented a dinghy for the day and it was well worth it); Salt Pond (take noodles & go out to the rock formations some BIG fish); Skinnylegs (the bushwackers will knock you out literally! Be careful!). We have found that if you wait later in the day to go to Trunk Bay (3pm) you can get in for free & the crowd is gone… Also, the fish come out! We swam along the rocks on the right side of the beach around 4pm & felt like we were in an aquarium. Schools & Schools of fish and a huge selection of bigger fish out for dinner ?? Maho Bay had turtles, starfish and string rays… Make dinner reservations if you have your heart set on a place it was up to a 2 hours wait. These places wont even do take out orders because they are so backed up! Wear your mask the islanders aren’t messing around. Enjoy and Thank You!”
