Ecologically sound. Visited: February 2001 |

We were attracted to this place because St. John is mostly protected National Park land, and because Harmony Studios attempts ecological harmony. So it is a perfect place for old hippies like me and my wife.
If you don’t need casinos and lots of shopping, this is a great island. There are great hikes. All of the beaches are secluded, except at the Westin Resort. As for Harmony Studios, they indeed get all their power from solar. Isn't that cool?
The restaurant has a limited menu, but the food was excellent and the views are spectacular. Single drawback if you have creaky knees - there's a lot of steps between the cabins and the beach. The beach is secluded and quiet. |

My wife and I have been to Maho Bay Camps five times over the past ten years, and have always stayed in the tents. This trip, we decided to move up to Harmony Studios... kind of as a treat to ourselves.
Besides heading to the Caribbean, this was the best decision we made in the entire trip. When we walked through the door of unit 6A, we were blown away by the stunning view looking out high over Maho all the way to St. Thomas. We've stayed at many places in our travels, but none had the majestic beauty we had from our balcony/deck.
I counted 211 stair steps from the Maho Bay Camps cafe to our Harmony studio. It was pretty rough the first couple of days being Mid-west flat landers from Michigan, but we toned up pretty fast. It was at least that many steps again to get down to the beach from the cafe.
While Little Maho Bay beach seems tired and worn, Big Maho Bay beach is the exact opposite with beautiful sand and water to match.
We made nightly visits to the glass blowing studio following dinner, and enjoyed many hours watching the artists apply their trade and fielding questions from the audience. No matter how many times the same question was asked, they always treated it as the they had never heard it before.
St. John and the camp have become our gauge for all other Caribbean places. Some are better, and some are far worse - but at the end of the day, we'll return many more times in the years to come.

| The Harmony Studios is a modern dwelling constructed almost entirely of recycled materials, powered by the sun and wind, and built with site-sensitive techniques that preserve, protect, and enhance the fragile ecosystem. |
