It is annoying that those of you not treated rudely at Conrad Suttons assume that those of us who were treated badly deserved it because we were rude or did not greet them in a friendly manner. We went for the first time, this year, the first thing out of my mouth was hello how are you? The rudeness...

Dragon Lady: We rented our car from Conrad Sutton. The car worked great, it was in good shape and pretty new. It had a lot of scratches in the paint, which was fine with us, so we didnt have to worry too much about branches and such. One of the tires needed air when we rented it (more on that in a m...

We went to Grootpan bay, which we could have walked to from our house but it was about a mile or so away and with 4 wheel drive you can easily drive there. Grootpan and Kiddel bay are right next to each other and they are the two bays between Salt Pond and Lameshur. There is a dirt road that takes y...

I found this forum very helpful when planning our trip to St. John, so I figured I would add my observations and opinions to the mix. We are back from a 10 day vacation to St. John. We had to travel during my kids Spring Break so we were dinged pretty badly on the airfare (thanks USairways! a terrib...

There will be a full moon on April 2 which is during our St. John vacation. What happens at Miss Lucy's during a full moon. How far in advance do you think we have to reserve? What is their Sunday Brunch like?

Renting on STT sounds easier to me and it would cost less. The car breaking down risk may keep us from renting in STT. On a trip to Maui, HI many years ago, our car key broke off inside the ignition. We had parked at a remote parking area at 4am to meet a bike tour (sunrise on Haleakala). I was tota...

Thanks again to all who have given advice, this is such an active and helpful online community. One other thing that I noticed about St. John small rental companies is that the insurance that they offer has a 1500 dollar deductible, and that they want you to pay for damages before leaving the island...

I agree with you about 4WD. I dont like those hairpin turns on steep grades without it, or the unpaved roads I will have to take to get to my rented villa. I got a price from Thrifty for a Jeep Liberty type SUV for 392 per week, which is a substantial savings even with the ferry charges, minus the t...

Hello everyone, I just registered on this forum and this is my first post. I realize that this topic has been discussed a lot on this forum and I actually read a lot of previous posts last night, but I still have some questions. I have been to St John once and I did rent a car from Cool Breeze. It w...
