OK...I'd like to be diplomatic and honest. I first stayed at Caneel in '85 on a honeymoon and have been back a few times over the years since for lunch, dinner, etc... If you're looking for a true island experience, a villa would perhaps be a better choice. If being fed (passably) good meals and hav...

tgw...didn't see your post before posting my own....YES!

Islandgal...we have never used travelers checks on STJ...as has been said, we bring some cash and cards...one of which is a ATM card. Always have been in great shape! Never a problem.

A note of celebration (i hope)...$2.25 million has been "earmarked" by the federal government (feel how you might about these) for the aquisition of Maho for the Nat'l Park Service. After having read what I have over the past several months about the fate of this property, I'm relieved tha...

We've stayed at Sea Scape twice and it's been wonderful. Sunsets are beautiful, a pool and a hottub,massive decking and the bananaquits love to visit the sugarwater bowl. Depends on how many are traveling as the villa has a master bedroom, living area and kitchen and a separate "cottage" t...

We Love it!!!! As residents of NEPA (34 degrees right now) you've warmed our hearts and given us MORE evil ideas for plates!

Thank you all so much for your input...and for your welcoming responses. We adore this beautiful, sweet gem that IS STJ. I'm sure you all know why...I could go on forever with the many ways this incredible paradise has touched our hearts and lives. Jay...thanks for the diclosure but i kinda figured....

Exit...thanks for your advice! And Wakey...I know...it's great!

Jay- we're open to anything. We'd prefer a skipper and a chef. We're relaxed and adventurous...have been coming to STJ since the mid '80s...and would like to get to know the islands from a different perspective...the water side.

Hi evereyone...We're being married in July and would like to spend five days to a week aboard a skippered boat prior to a week spent on STJ. Has anyone had wonderful experiences with a company or skipper in the USVI waters for that length of time? Thanks!

Really enjoyed watching it...thanks for the notice!

1.)I "found" STJ in 1985 on my honeymoon with my ex-. My sis had had her honeymoon at Caneel's sister resort and my parents had started coming to STJ many years before...begining in the year that Caneel first opened...their recommendations brought me to this beautiful gift that I now love ...

The best places that we've found have been on Coral Bay side...Shipwreck, Island Blues,Aqua Bistro...all very good. Fun people, locals, sailors. Just great times, good food all three are perfect. Good luck...have a wonderful time. Envious here in 35 degree temps.

We've had consistently good experiences at Morgan's Mango..Haven't tried Sweet Plantains yet but have heard great things about it. Have a great meal whereever you wind up!

Just looking over recent card purchases online today...seems Sue has booked several roundtrip flights on consecutive days. Hmmmmm......
