St John Trip Report from Bob & Sharon

We just returned from our first trip to the Caribbean in 2 years! We did St John to stay in US territory and to snorkel the Caneel reefs & beaches. It was a wonderful trip with us photographing and ID’ing 174 species of wildlife with 70% being fish. We saw four octopuses – all Caribbean Reef snu...

Not in Virgin Islands this year

We have followers in these forums, so decided to post here, although we were not in our beloved Virgin Islands this year. Instead we were in St Barths and Anguilla. It was a wonderful trip, but different for sure. The volume of fish was not as great as around the Virgin Islands, but the variety was ...

About Caneel Bay, St. John, USVI

It saddens us to write this review. What was once our favorite vacation spot has become an overpriced disappointment. The new “culture” since Rosewood is no longer involved, has evolved from a “yes we can” to “I don’t care”. The property is so bug infested that the guests look like small pox victims...

Re: First trip to VG

I forgot to mention "Hog Heaven", so am glad you mentioned it, Equineannie. Fabulous ribs and magnificent view. Also forgot to mention “The Fat Virgin” with it’s great Roti and fish sandwiches.

Re: First trip to VG

Virgin Gorda is a wonderful island. The best food is at “Chez Bamboo” and Little Dix “beach bar”. We charter “Island Birds” from STT to VG airport (not the sea plane). Customs are taken care of in the VG airport and in STT for the return. It is very convenient. If you return through SJ, you are corr...
