St. John USVI Westin Hotel

---

In May of 2008 we stayed at the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas and I took a day trip to St. John with another guest (Chris Madden, world famous designer) on the Lady Lindsey Catamaran.

Since then we had been curious about St. John so we decided to stay a week at the Westin and look the island over. We arrived via US AIR (first class with miles) on St. Thomas and were met by the Westin staff and quickly transported by shuttle then ferry to the hotel. Make sure your booking includes transportation through the hotel to the hotel dock as this was quick, and efficient.

We booked the package through US AIR vacations as I have found it impossible to beat a vacation package with all the tax and so on included versus booking on my own directly with hotels. Of course they don't always give you credit on your hotel programs, however, nothing in life if perfect.

Anyway, very nice reort with everything really centered around island style big pool. Food here is above average not gourmet great but good. Resturants in town vary greatly:

Banana - ok over priced

Alolare - very good

Rhumb Lines - very good, very hot courtyard with little ventilation

ZoZo - very good

Hotel Steakhouse - very good as well

Upgrade a little to get closer to the pool if possible, if not don't worry about it as most rooms are similar but a little farther back. Many beaches to drive to around the island.
