Sapphire Beach Resort Opinions Needed

Ok everyone, we haven't been to St. Thomas since 2007 and are planning on going back the beginning of 2015. Whenever we went, we stayed at the Sapphire Village resort (up on the hill). Since I now have a harder time going up and down the hill to the beach, We want to stay at Sapphire Beach Resort (r...

Compact Car on STJ

We are renting a compact car from Dependable on STT, which is where we are staying. However, during the 10 days we are there, I want to take one or two day trips to STJ. Has anyone ever used a small car on STJ and have they had any problems? If I have to, I can just take a people ferry and use taxis...

BVI Customs Question

OK, this might be a dumb question, but I notice that if you take a day sail on an excursion such as New Horizons to the BVI, the is a $20-$25 dollar charge per person for customs. If my wife and I simply take a ferry from STT to Virgin Gorda, is there still a charge to get through customs? Alright, ...

Virgin Mobile

Ordered a pay-as-you-go phone from Virgin Mobile. The phone was free, the $20.00 I paid was for the air time. I am going to STT on March 3rd, and will report how the phone works down there. From what the website stated, The USVI is part of their service area.

Virgin Mobile

I went to the Virgin Mobile website and checked on the coverage area. According to the site, it covers all 50 states, puerto Rico, and the US VIRGIN ISLANDS! I might pick on up and try it when we go down on March 3rd.

Thanks All

Thanks, everyone for the info. I just want to clarify that while I'm on STT, I have no intention of calling stateside, Work, or home, if I can help it. I wanted to have a phone handy for activities and calls on the island (Reservations, information, Car problems?, etc.) The Virgin Mobile pre-paid ph...

Cell Phones?

On our last trip to STT, we really didn't need to use a cell phone. However, on this trip we are planning to explore more of both STT and STJ and we will have a rental car, so I thought a cell phone might be useful. My carrier is Verizon. Does anyone know if I will be able to pick up a signal (witho...

Day Trip to Virgin Gorda?

Has anyone tried taking a day trip from STT to Virgin Gorda? I have checked ferry schedules and it appears all we would get is about 4-5 hours on VG. I am looking for a way to spend a day (10-12 hours?). Any ideas?
