The Westin St. John Resort Villas

The place is beautiful! Very big property. If you stay in the hills, you will need a shuttle if you are old or out of shape. Pool is beautiful and so is the beach! Definitely will be back with my family!

Beautiful Villa in Sunset Bay overlooking the water. The water is smooth like glass and very swim/snorkel friendly. Absolutely the best for families. Sunset Bay has two bedrooms. One with king bed and the other with two queen size beds. It had a full kitchen and a pull out sofa if needed. We walked right out on the beach.

We spent 5 days in an ocean view room at the Westin. I recommend upgrading to this view. The room was spacious and clean. The outside of the hotel could use some TLC in a few areas but the inside is lovely. There are plenty of restaurants and the food was good. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The location is nice and close to many attractions. We enjoyed being on top of the hill as there was always a nice breeze. The walk to the beach requires a staircase but it was an easy nice walk. The beach provided chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, paddle boards and sailing. We participates in the night kayak tour which was a lot of fun. Some reviews indicted the service was not good but we found the staff to be too notch, friendly and eager to make our experience a good one. We would stay at the Weston again.

There are lots of good reasons to stay at this resort. But first, BE AWARE that you are automatically booked on a ferry from Red Hook to Cruz Bay. Westin provides the shuttle to Red Hook from the airport, then you have to wait for the ferry. Our wait was almost 3 hours and there was no food available at the ferry station. The ferry cost $139 per person round trip! We had thought this was included with our stay but only found out when we checked out that it had cost us $280 for the 2 of us to get to the island then back to the airport. The local ferry from Charlotte-Amalie to Cruz Bay is only $13 per person so we feel like we were taken advantage of by being scheduled to take the Westin shuttles without being told it would cost such a ridiculous amount. It only costs $3 to take your car to St. John which makes $139 even more insulting. The resort itself is quite nice and we enjoyed it very much. The rooms are well-stocked for a long stay and are very comfortable and clean. The landscaping of the resort is gorgeous! The pool and beach areas are really nice and roomy. Kayaks, paddle boards, and small sail boats can be used for no charge but if you want to use 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, it will cost you $35. Pool chairs are free though. Snorkels restaurant is excellent with lots of healthy, well-prepared options. Lemongrass is a step above that but be aware that it is closed Mon/Tue/Wed. There are free shuttles running throughout the resort every day and evening. Taxis are always available to take you into Cruz Bay with rates running about $7/person one way. It's only a mile away but it's very hilly and too narrow to walk safely. All in all, we recommend the Westin St. John Resort but next time we will stay somewhere with easier access.

Best on St John. Staff very helpful we enjoyed convenient location and sunset out front. Restaurant fabulous. Rooms immaculate and perfect stay for family . Daily drink special. On the beach . Pool is an oasis and huge. Close to all place but will need shuttle to town

After spending 4 nights camping at Cinnamon Bay the amenities here were a welcome change of pace! The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We were very well taken care of! Our lodging (a 2 bedroom bi-level villa) was perfect for our needs and was clean upon our arrival. The pool was a highlight and we really enjoyed the staff at the poolside bar, Snorkels. We will return again!!
