The Gift Hill area is not my favorite area because it is located more inland and the water views are too distant. I would rather have a villa out on one of the peninsulas with a closer view of the water activity. I've not stayed in Plumeria, but it looks very nice-my only objection would be the location and the distant view of the water.
The Gift Hill area is not particularly secluded, but it is an uncrowded area (almost all of St. John is) and villas are usually designed to maximize privacy.
The tap water is safe to drink, but we usually buy water in gallon jugs to keep in our refrigerator. I wouldn't worry about Montezuma's revenge.
I think that May is one of the best months for visiting St. John. The rates have dropped, the weather is great, and there is no threat of hurricanes.
Hope this helps.
