Boo, formerly from The Beach Bar, works there now; so get the islands' best Bushwhacker there!

If you go for breakfast, the cinnamon swirl pancakes are AMAZING!

Need park & fly Chicago O'hare

We need a hotel with parking & shuttle near O'hare.
We will be gone 16 days with hotel stays the night before & after the trip. We have used Westin previously but wondering if the 16 days is too long. Looking for other options.

Re: What a night for star gazing on STJ!

I Love Love Love to gaze at the stars while staying on St John! The sky just seems so much more brilliant & beautiful!

I am such an amateur & find telescopes kind of intimidating.
I have a terrific app called GoSkyWatch - check it out!

Re: Possible update on the NO sign

WOOT WOOT!

Way to write a positive message that got the point across loud and clear. It will be interesting to see if they follow through on the "personal welcome back" - do keep us posted on that front.

Re: In a Quandary...Which Restaurant for Birthday Dinner

I celebrated a milestone birthday on island a few years ago. We started w/ drinks at High Tide, then went to Beach Bar for appetizers, then on to Lime Inn for main entree, dessert was at Banana Deck, and then back to Beach Bar for after dinner drinks - a great evening!

Re: South Shore Villa - information

South Shore villa has a killer view! Fantastic breezes and an awesome infinity edge pool. DO NOT let the drive scare you! It seems hairy the first time or two, but like most villa drives, is no big deal by mid- week. It is only 15 minutes from Cruz Bay. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! If yo...
