close to town but with a view of the sunset over STT

being close to the beach is not as important as the view you have when the sun goes down]]> TomB Virgin Islands NowThu, 19 Nov 2009 22:24:51 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105541#msg-105541 Re: Please Help!!We are wanting to visit the islands.....http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105541#msg-105541 stjohnjulie Virgin Islands NowThu, 19 Nov 2009 20:01:05 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105540,105540#msg-105540 Sail Away Villa St. Thomashttp://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105540,105540#msg-105540Thanks!

That's why I use it.

If your current auto policy covers rentals you still have to pay the deductible...mine is $500. With Amex there's no deductible.

We rent for 3 months on STT...Hertz bills per month so the $19.95 Amex fee resets each month...thus the 42 day maximum is avoided. On STT having rental car collision damage coverage for less than $60. for 3 months is good deal.

And how wonderful what you have done with herbs. So..the question is, do you have a website for your store? If so, could you please post the link. It would be great to purchase your herbs. Believe me..I would much rather come back to the island and buy them directly from you and meet you but, not quite in the budget just yet. Good luck with the continued research of your herbs and congrats on the restaurant! :)

I think the best place to stay in STT is the east end. Sugar Bay is a hotel, Crystal Cove has Condos as well as Sapphire village Crystal cove is right on the beach overlooking Tortola and St. John. Sapphire Resort has smaller rooms but is also right on Sapphire Beach. Go to VRBO to find a condo.

Coconutz, have you ever stayed in St Thomas to give such advice? St Thomas offers all what you say they can get elsewhere. Unless you have not tried it, don't knock it. Also, they are traveling with children. It will not be a madhouse plus the East end hardly notices ant difference when the ships are in.

Agreed.

To the OP, you are also not far from the Plaza Extra supermarket in the Tutu Park Mall (where the "big" KMart is located) nor from CostULess which is further down the road on the Weymouth Rhymer Highway. Holidays here are, for many workers, another working day and most places are open for business as usual. If you don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of town on a heavy cruise ship day, there is plenty on the East end to keep you occupied and, as Ron said, the cruise ship traffic affects the East End very minimally. Enjoy a wonderful visit!]]> STT Resident Virgin Islands NowWed, 18 Nov 2009 07:53:55 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105521#msg-105521 Re: Please Help!!We are wanting to visit the islands.....http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105521#msg-105521 kimrn06 Virgin Islands NowWed, 18 Nov 2009 02:02:23 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105520#msg-105520 Re: Please Help!!We are wanting to visit the islands.....http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105520#msg-105520 exit zero Virgin Islands NowTue, 17 Nov 2009 23:00:52 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105519#msg-105519 Re: Please Help!!We are wanting to visit the islands.....http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105517,105519#msg-105519

I don't know if there are any "all inclusives" in the USVIs. The Wyndham, on St. Thomas, used to offer this, but it was expensive.

You're best bet is to stay at a condo and try the many good restaurants on the island. Also, visit St. John via ferry.

For a beach front condo try Sapphire Beach...a little run down, but right on the beach.....IMHO the East End is the best area because of the views of St. John & the British Virgin Islands.

Other resorts are Point Pleasant (I own there so I'm biased) that's near Coki & Smith Bay beaches, the Elysian, Secret Harbor & Cowpet Bay are also very nice....if money is no object try the Ritz Carlton.

Happy 15th!

Some of the resorts offer a buffet, but most of the restaurants should have some turkey/Thanksgiving special. I think there were so many last year, that some restaurants were stuck with turkey the day after, so maybe they're scaling back this year?

Some places on St John have advertised their Thanksgiving plans. Maho says their glass blowers will be blowing throughout the day, and dinner starts at 4:30. That may be something for your family to consider.]]> ms411 Virgin Islands NowTue, 17 Nov 2009 17:23:30 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105512,105512#msg-105512 What is the best way to get from STT to STJhttp://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105512,105512#msg-105512 lovinlife Virgin Islands NowTue, 17 Nov 2009 16:38:18 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105502,105511#msg-105511 Re: Big 4-0 night recommendationshttp://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105502,105511#msg-105511 cmooresun Virgin Islands NowTue, 17 Nov 2009 15:37:47 -0400 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105493,105510#msg-105510 Re: Found Men's Wedding Ringhttp://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,105493,105510#msg-105510
