This 1857 landmark provides a panoramic view of the harbor. Each room is unique and filled with character, ranging from La Mansion, a former library that is now an elegant villa to El Establo, a three-bedroom house. with a full kitchen and laundry facilities that is rented by the week.

Its history: Toward the crest of Denmark Hill lies a historic villa built in the 1850's by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna during his third exile from Mexico. The general, after being proclaimed a hero for defeating the Texans at the Alamo, had a disastrous stint as a politician, and was exiled after a fruitless and vicious campaign against southern revolutionary Juan Alvarez. Villa Santana, built with stolen money from the Mexican treasury has remained a treasure of the Virgin Islands until a disastrous fire consumed the wooden greathouse in 1986.

I don't want to experience these islands as part of a day trip aboard a cruise ship (though I do LOVE cruises). I'd rather fly into St. Thomas & then explore St. John, Water Island, and St. Croix from there.
