Re: One night on STJ

We just arrived on the rock yesterday. We needed a place to stay for one night and were able to get 2 rooms for one night at Gallows. $395 for a lower unit for one night is a bit expensive but we like Gallows and it is close to the ferry for our departure day so it works for us.

Snorkel access Chocolate Hole???

Hi all: We will be renting Wings Over Water on Bovocap Point in a week and we want to snorkel Chocolate Hole on this trip. However I have never found easy access to the water at Chocolate Hole on previous trips. Where is the best place to park and access the water? Any suggestions on which spots in ...

Re: New to the Forum on Island 5.18. to 5.25

We arrive on STJ the day you leave. On the Coral Bay side and since it is your 1st trip my list would be Lunch at Miss Lucy's Snorkel Haulover North Maho Donkey Diner for breakfast Whatever you do you will love it. The downside is you will become one of the undead like the rest of us. Living a life ...

They have locations in Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, just call the office that is on the side of the island you will be staying on. We...

Re: Here we come again!

DonnaM, It was absolutely nuts at Christmas in Cruz Bay. We avoided town as much as possible. We have done the Coral Bay side aroun New Year's in pre iOS years and it doesn't feel nearly as hectic. We tend to be villa gravity people anyway so it was okay, but probably not worth the bump in rental ra...

Here we come again!

We were fortunate enough to have spent Christmas and New Year's at bongo Bongo and we have Wings Over Water booked for the last week in May. It is shaping up to be a fine year in STJ this year! Can't wait t...

Re: Favorite place for conch fritters ?

Conch Fritters on STJ is a subject that we have researched in great detail. Taste testing at multiple locations and rating fritters is about as ambitious as we care to get while chillin on the rock. For location, Miss Lucy's. The fritters there are good but not great, but just sitting by the water w...

Help preserve marital bliss. Need to buy short

Friends just joined here at Bongo Bongo. When they unpacked they found that Phil had no shorts in his suitcase. Since his wife Susan was in charge of the packing there has been considerable discord amongst the troops! Well seriously it's not that big of a deal but who wants to wear jeans on STJ all ...
