My husband, daughter and I will be going to St. John for the first time in 10 days. We will be staying at the Westin Resort. I hope we made a good choice. Also, has anyone ever been "snuba diving"? Neither my husband or I are strong swimmers, and this looks like it would be perfect for us.
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Most of the beaches on STJ are significantly better than the one at the Westin, so make sure to venture out and go to other beaches 🙂

Cindy:

Are you staying at the resort or in one of the timeshare villas? Either way, I highly recommend renting a car for the time you're there so you can enjoy the rest of the island. How old is your daughter? Ours is 5, so any recommendations I would make would be for that age group. Post a few more details and you'll get more responses.

We love the Westin, but we're owners there so we're biased. We do spend most of our time jeeping around to the beaches and exploring the park. We like Cinnamon, Salt Pond, and Maho. We also like the Reef Bay Trail and Waterlemon, but both are done without our daughter.
