Villa First

I book carefully coordinate so that I am booking both at the same time - usually working around the best villa deals and then trying to match that with decent airfare. The villa deal will trump airfare becuase the villa is much more expensive of the two and I can save much more by working out a grea...

Part 1 - Trip Report - 16 days on STT - Getting There

Greetings everyone. I've entitled this report "Favorite Things" because that is what this trip turned out to represent. I wasn't in search of new adventure or excitement, wasn't looking for the best snorkeling or the happiest happy hour. I just wanted to decompress doing the things I love ...

Was everyone clothed?

For those of you who have visited Solomon lately, did you find everyone clothed (swimsuits)? I would like to visit Solomon, but don't want to expose my 8 yr old to more than she needs to see of STJ's booty - I mean beauty - lol.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

Get a hold of the contract and read it

Can your dad fax you the contract? This is starting to become a recurring theme. I can't recall if the other situations I've read about have been through this agent or others, but I know I have read about this same thing happening with other STJ villa travelers - recently. I'll try to research the o...
