DH & I have been to STJ 4 times and our adult daughter (2x). That being said we have only been during high season, January or February. Our daughter and her fiancee got engaged on Valentines Day this year in STJ. They would love to go back for their honeymoon the 3rd week in September. I know it...

Yehguafm- Virgin Fire is at Mongoose Junction upstairs facing the road in the first building.

Yes, Ocean 362 opened in their old spot. We didn't make it there this trip. The one new restaurant we tried was " Virgin Fire". The food and drinks were good but the service was SLOW even by island standards, There were only about 3-4 tables full when we were there and the food dribbled ou...

Had another (our 4th) fabulous trip to STJ last week. By far the culinary highlight of our trip was the new Zozo's location. WOW! It is stunning. Food and service were top notch. If your budget allows make a reservation and go. Even if you just go for a drink it's worth it as the bar is stunning too.

We've been to STJ 3 times (2008,2009 & 2010) with our 4th trip starting in 12 days. We've been to STX 2 times (2011 & 2013). Simple answers to your questions would be to stay on the East End, the nicest area IMHO. Christensted is about a 15-20 min ride each way. Fredeicksted is further , 30-...

Too funny! We (a group group of 4) will go through a mini mountain of Pringles on STJ in a weeks time. In fact most everyday we stop for more booze and pringles on our way home from the beach of the day! We will be there in 12 days and I can't wait for my first taste of pringles! Glad to hear we are...

Been away from my beloved St John for too many years. So happy to have my ticker back.

Second Wind is within budget at $3850 but looks like the others are not. I realize in season a $4000 budget is low but I was hoping there woild be more choices.
I appreciate all the suggestions!

I was hoping someone would chime in on a villa they have actually stayed in. I have been all over the villa agency sites but unless it's a villa you know it's hard to judge.

Trying to plan what would be our 4th trip to STJ and need some villa help.In the past we have rented with another couple but now our grown kids want in on the action and they have a very LOW budget! Looking for 3 bedrooms and preferably 3 baths too. Pool is a must as is A/C in the bedrooms- prefer C...

Beautiful pictures! My DH & i have been lucky enough to stay ay The Reefs for the last 3 years for our anniversary. I love it there...sigh. I agree its not STJ but Bermuda is wonderful in another sort of way.Thanks for posting!

Thanks! I guess I was just looking to re-enforce my original opinion of NO! We hate cruises so why would we like a bus tour? These are good friends so they get our decision and at least our friendship won't be in jeopardy and when they come back we will live vicariously through them.

DH & I have been asked by some good friends to take a 8 night trip to Ireland next Sept (2012). Love these friends and would love to see Ireland but here's our dilemma, its a bus tour :( Not a way I like to travel. We are independent travel types. We have never been on a bus tour except off a cr...

I took a Cape Air video too in February taking off in STX and landing in STT. I loved it! So close to the water and the views are fabulous!

Thanks for all the great tips. Right now the plan is to fly in & out of White Plains. We will drive to Hyde Park and stay 2 nights at the Journey Inn and then drive down and spend 2 nights at the Doubletree in Tarrytown. We will leave on a late flight so that makes about 2.5 days in each area- e...
