Luxury beachfront condominiums. Colony Cove is truly special. It has two living reefs just off its long, balmy, palm-fronded swimming beach. Its tranquil tropical herb garden is well-known throughout the Caribbean. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/St_Croix/colonycoveresort/hotel/798/20/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:00:39 EST Sun-drenched nature walks are just a few short footsteps away. Bird watching and sand castle building are all easily accomplished within its shady, floral-scented compound and palm lined beach. Of course, the main accent is on pure, unadulterated tropical relaxation...and nothing relaxes a world-weary traveler as quickly as Mother Nature. Pick out a beach chair. Rest awhile. Close your tired eyes. Feel the sun; feel it melt away your tensions. Smell the tangy salt air. Listen to the blue heron laugh. Feel the heat of the fabled tropics; its lush richness and romantic calypso rhythms. But just beneath the tranquil surface of this remarkable resort is a deeper, more serious side: eco-tours, dive adventures and sailing excursions. No other Caribbean resort features such a diverse eco-library which includes books, tapes and videos. "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but bubbles," is the unofficial motto of the resort. And it practices what it preaches. Yet, despite its heartfelt natural focus, Colony Cove also offers all the comforts and conveniences of home...full kitchen, microwave, washer and dryers, Cable TV, VCR and HBO. Colony Cove.
