Looking at traveling to the USVI in April 23 and looking for some tips on what area of the island to stay. Everyone says suck it up and pay extra for st John but is it that big of a difference? Also we normally do all inclusive in the Caribbean and I know that’s not prevalent in the USVI so I’m thinking Airbnb type arrangements. Looking for advice. Thanks.

We stayed in a condo on Cowpet Bay in Red Hook when we went back in May

I usually stay at the Westin on St. John but that is because I use Marriott points. It can be pricey if paying out of pocket especially in the high season (Dec - April). There are a couple other Marriott properties on St. Thomas but I've never had a desire to stay there over staying on St. John.

Yes. That's why we repeat it over and over. It's not close.

Look into AirBnB at Grande Bay or Gallows Point. You'll be able to walk to all the bars and restaurants in Cruz Bay and there's a bus to go to the beaches.

There’s also a couple reasonably priced boutique hotels in Cruz Bay (ex St. John Inn) but they fill up REAL fast. If you know your dates and it’s 6+ months from now you may have a chance to book one.

St. John. St. Johns is a university. No offense intended, just a pet peeve.

It's beautiful in May. I've spent 6 of my last 10 birthdays there (June 2nd) and the weather is glorious that time of year. It would be 9 of 10 but COVID.

Im looking at flights now and an AirBnb...no car needed right? Just travel from Airport to St John and stay on the west side near Cruz Bay area?
