St. John is a tropical paradise. 2/3rd of the island is unspoiled National US parkland (donated by Laurence Rockefeller, who wanted to keep the island pristine), which makes it uncrowded, peaceful, with an amazing amount of flora, fauna, marine life & natural beauty. There are only two "hotels" on the island - the Westin Resort being one. There are so many gorgeous, unspoiled, white sand, palm lined beaches to explore & the scenery is nothing less than spectacular.... lush, green & mountainous on top, blue water, white sand, palm lined beaches below. Amazing coral & vivid, colorful fish, starfish, mantas, sea turtles abound. Rent a car & drive around & explore the various beaches & areas the island offers. Bring a picnic lunch & your snorkeling gear. Hike on the islands 22 nature trails. Visit the island's ruins. Shop & have lunch (or dinner) at the charming "Mongoose Junction" complex. Sail over to the BVI's for the day (you'll need passports to step foot on the islands) At night you can dine at the resort, or enjoy dining at one of the many wonderful restaurants in nearby Cruz Bay (a five minute car/taxi ride from the hotel) enjoy live music at one of the local bars such as "The Beach Bar" (see pic) where, after a few "Painkillers" or "Bushwhackers", whatever inhibitions you have left will be down the tubes! Catch a rainbow by day & a spectacular starry sky by night!..... You will be enamored & captivated by the MAGIC of St. John!!!

PLEASE BE AWARE - This is a 3BR "POOL VILLA" at the "VIRGIN GRAND" Villas which are a super spacious 2,850 sq.ft. & have private pools. They are very different than the "Bay Vista" 3BR units, which are renovated hotel rooms re-incarnated into timeshare units, that are also available for rental. The 3 bd Bay Vista units are HALF the square footage of the 3BR Virgin Grand Pool Villas (2,850 vs.1,470) and they have small balconies, instead of fully walled courtyards. Also, they do not have private pools.
The rate is also is a huge savings over renting directly from the resort, &, in addition, there are no extras such as tax & resort fees.
