I find it helpful to always have a hat with me when we go to the beach. That way, when a quick shower comes in, you put on your hat, grab a drink and get in the water to wait it out. Some of our best times have been doing just that!

Wonderful trip report! We usually bring bug spray with a high concentration of deet. The island looks very lush and green. I loved seeing your donkey pictures. Sounds like you had a great time.

Thank you for sharing your pictures and trip report. Looks like you had great weather while on island.

Like many of the previous posters have said, we like to make our first dinner pretty casual. It's typically a long travel day and we like to get to our villa or condo, do a quick unpack, maybe wash off my face, drink some water and head to town for a few drinks and appetizers and start to unwind. We...

I've been wanting to stay there, just need to find a few more friends/family that will loosen up their purse strings!

These are all beautiful pictures! Makes me wish so much to be on island. . . . . Only about 190 more days and I will be!

We usually leave for the cleaning crew. A few years ago ( with Chad and Todd as owners of Woody's) we got to know some of the wait staff and kitchen crew and we would pack up a couple of boxes of our left over stuff - some of it not even open, and would drop it off in the morning. The one year we ha...

I will say that since we and our friends have been bringing our chairs along with us, when we are at the beach it seems everyone gravitates to sitting in the higher chairs instead of the beach chairs that were brought along from the condo/villa (we are usually in a travel group of 6-10 people). It w...

We bring along our chairs. I have real issues with my knees and the sand chairs are just too low for me and to get out of them requires me to roll out onto my hands and push up with my butt in the air - quite a site! So I purchased two travel bag chairs that are aluminum with a mesh seat and back (w...

If you take the 8AM ferry you could always stop for a quick bite to eat close to the airport.

We have traveled to,STJ several times in the March timeframe and have been there over St Pat's - which is always fun. We did go one time the last week in February which was several years ago. I have seen, as others have mentioned, the island getting progressively more busy especially in the March ti...

Beautiful picture, Teresa!

I have stayed in a 3 bedroom pool villa several times as well as a one bedroom (which is the same buildings as the two bedrooms). The Westin is great, the condo is spacious totally air conditioned and well laid out. It is also nice there is a pool area with grill a few steps from your two bedroom co...
