I am curious the responses you get. I have always heard of Cost U Less on the way to Red Hook from the airport. That is where we plan to stop.

I am guessing these are round stools and tables in the pool. Nice!

Thanks all. The decisions keep coming. So if we stay in Bordeaux Mountain, Casa Bueno it is. For a little less though we can stay in a 3BR villa/condo in Grande Bay (Cruz Bay). I know the comparison is tough....your own home vs. a condo unit but it is our first time staying on St. John and the locat...

Thanks. What do you guys think of Bordeaux Mountain location in November? Any chance it will actually be too chilly??? The more I read the more I hear about the constant cool breezes....

Grande Bay villa vs. Casa Bueno

Hello. I did searches and read much about each property but our family of four (2 adults, 2 girls..13 & eight) is looking to stay in the Bordeaux Mountain area of STJ and both houses are within a couple of dollars of each other for 5 nights. I realize BB is 2BR's and CB is 4BR's but has anyone s...

Congrats on your purchase! We are debating whether or not to rent a 3BR unit at Grande Bay vs. a villa high on a hill somewhere. Just checking with you that all amenities are operational at GB....pool, hot tub, etc. Also how is the fitness center? Is there enough equipment or is it tough to get a ma...

How about Anegada? I heard the water around the island is absolutely beautiful though not sure about accomodations, etc. Is this a day trip only?

I would check out the Grande Bay units in Cruz Bay on VRBO. I am guessing with just 2 weeks to go, you can get a great last minute deal Like I said, check out VRBO and pick up the phone. Have a dollar amount in mind and ask. I have been burning the midnight oil on VRBO and have many feelers out alr...

Here is a first hand review from another forum.... Pia "We were scheduled to be there 17th-24th. Ended up banking with Interval International at the last minute. We are staying at Grande Bay Villas. Took a ride to the Westin yesterday. Pool is drained. We were previously told they would have t...

Thanks for all he replies. I called and they will definitely give me a full refund whenever/if ever I decide to cancel. With airline fees $$$ I am not planning on cancelling. I know St John is known for beaches but with kids its nice to have a large resort pool, etc. to hang out at occassionally. Th...

Westin Hotel & Villas pool closed until 11/14/2010?!?!?

From reading their website I first read there was minimal damage from Otto but now it says the pool will be closed until 11/14 (it was previously supposed to open on 10/14). Unfortunately we will be there from 11/3-8 with our two kids. Now I know that St John is known for the beaches but it would be...

That's Invest 95L which the NHC gives a 20% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. Typically, this is the time of the season (great song), when the Caribbean Sea becomes a hot spot for tropical formation. That's where Omar was born a couple of years ago... Don't remind u...
