Re: What is your villa calculus?

If it falls in our price range, we have a fairly short list of "musts". We like mid-island villas with good views. I would say a pool is a plus and my DH likes modern furnishings, but not having AC isn't a deal breaker for either of us. We really liked Apito too, but have a bigger group th...

I still haven't been able to view it. I have tried it on my iPhone and iPad. I'll try it on the PC at work tomorrow if I can remember.

Re: Octopus video

Wow, thanks for sharing. Great video. Octopus and Shark are two things I'd love to see one day, and to actually see the Octopus out swimming around instead of hiding in some crevasse is really neat.

45 min layover to short??

My DH and I (along with parents and in-laws) have our 4th trip to wonderful STJ scheduled for the Spring. We've already got flights and a villa, but recently AA re-did the flights so our layover between RDU-MIA then MIA-STT shrank from 1 1/2 to 45 mins. I normally don't like booking flights with les...

Re: Ladies I need swimsuit HELP!

I got my mom a sports bra type bathing suite top with a loose fitting rash guard shirt for her first trip to STJ. She has a couple tankini's but I thought she would like a different option for snorkeling. I thought she'd be a little less self conscience with the loose surf shirt, but still cool in t...

Re: New snorkel gear for next STJ trip ?

Thanks for the reply's. I'd like to get him good gear for Christmas and don't mind paying a little more for good quality. I agree the mask is key and what he normally has had trouble with in the past. I'm excited to have some good idea's to look for now.

New snorkel gear for next STJ trip ?

My DH and I will be headed back to STJ for our 4th trip in April and my DH needs some new snorkel gear. We now know we love to snorkel and would spring for some better gear, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? We don't need top of the line, but better than the starter cheap stuff we h...

mango bay ?/rental co ?

Hey guys, my family and I were looking at renting Mango Bay villa for our 2014 trip and I was wondering if anyone had stayed there and/or had any thoughts on the villa. I looked and no one has done a villa review yet. Also I know this has been touched on in a few earlier posts, but Mango Bay is list...

Re: Report - 1st trip to STJ

We were there at the end of July and had the same experience at the Beach Bar, overly rude staff and poor food quality. Spyglass was our favorite hangout this trip for both food and drinks. Glad your overall experience was still a positive one on STJ.

Pia, I used the matrix airfare search and saw the 274 fares. It was Wed-Wed and Mon-Mon mid month on.
