Carimo, a leading villa rental and real estate provider on the Caribbean island of St. Martin, has been acquired by Luxury Retreats. Luxury Retreats had previously worked, for over a decade, with the well-respected, 30-year-old villa rental company in its capacity as rental broker. “This is a major milestone for both Carimo and Luxury Retreats,” said Joe Poulin, President and CEO of the villa rental and management specialist. “Quality properties, quality service, and integrity have always been a big part of Carimo’s DNA. I can’t think of a company that would be a better fit with our brand,” he noted.

The day-to-day operations of Carimo and the high-level service offered by both companies will not be affected by the acquisition, stressed Nick Guezen, the new Interim Manager of Carimo appointed by Luxury Retreats. “Carimo has been a fixture on the island of St. Martin for a long time, and we have no intention of altering the standard associated with their name or their way of doing business,” said Guezen, who added that Carimo villas consistently rank among the most-booked properties of Luxury Retreats’ entire 1,800 handpicked rental collection.
