Re: Missing in action
I was having trouble with internet and phone and when I called Viya (new name of the merged companies) and asked if they were experiencing any issues they said that they didn't have any reports of issues. I then asked them if they could check my account and see if there was a billing issue and their...

Re: Missing in action
I don't have any specific knowledge of what is happening with this business, but I CAN tell you that the phones and internet have been 'out' for a lot of people. There was a recent merger between Innovative (telephone, cable, internet) and Choice (internet), and it's had it's issues. On top of that,...

Re: fire on the beach?
No, no fires on the beach. Or anywhere else for that matter without a burn permit. You can grill, but it has to be in a grill.

Re: Favorite Change
A bit different perspective since I live here, but for me, the roundabout. I could not stand that crazy intersection prior to the roundabout. You had to be so aggressive to get through it. Took people awhile to get the hang of it, but it has eased congestion and the question of 'who goes next' is a ...

Re: Fresh Produce?
Tuesdays are usually the best day to get produce because, yes, we generally do get our shipments late Monday or early Tuesday. (barring any freight issues that is) The prices at Dolphin and St. John markets are usually considerably lower than Starfish. Starfish has a sales flyer that is available on...

Re: The island is looking pretty green
I could kick a stone down the street to Virgin Grande Estates from my house. I've been seeing a lot of deer up here lately as well. And the iguanas look pretty darn healthy as well. I saw the biggest iguana at the Dumpster area a couple of weeks ago that was by far the largest I've ever seen. He was...

Re: The island is looking pretty green
Yup, things are green! It's been looking good for awhile and hope it keeps up. Gotta keep water in those cisterns :) The animals are all looking health too. Just had three donkeys walk down our little estate road on Gifft Hill yesterday and they were all filled out and just really healthy looking. T...

Re: Wish List for Julius E. Sprauve School
Not on TripAdvisor, I usually shy away from posting on travel forums, but Ruth specifically asked me to post here, and was happy to do so TripAdvisor is funny about stuff like this..... But I will post on Facebook, so thank you for that!

Wish List for Julius E. Sprauve School
Good Afternoon All! I recently posted on Facebook about a wish list item from Julius E. Sprauve school and Ruth asked me to post here on VIOL as well. I finally found a contact at the school that is willing to help me get lists of items that the school is in need of. The first item on that wish list...

Looks like the Reef Bay guided hike is going to be offered Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, here is a link http://www.friendsvinp.org/news-a-events/upcoming-events I would say for Concordia's schedule you are going to have to check closer to your arrival. There is new ownership, and they say that thin...

Re: What to do with left over villa food?
Leaving it in the villa is perfectly acceptable, and it won't go to waste. The cleaning staff will make good use of most things left behind.

Re: Healthcare on St. John
Getting the blood drawn probably won't be a problem. Get the labs done might take time though. On St. John, you can call the clinic and set up an appointment, 340-693-8900. Make sure you ask for the nurse's station and ask the nurses if it is doable. Then set up an appointment. They take walk ins an...

Re: VI Hotel Tax
Not to be devil's advocate, but there Was a lot of confusion about how this new increase would affect current bookings and the communication of the new law was a bit poor. A lot of people who short term rental were confused about how the increase was going to affect bookings they already had. I woul...

Re: Beach Chair Rental
Check with Beach Bum. I can't say for sure, but I thought they had some higher back (nicer) beach chairs there for rent. 340-777-4286 www.stjbeachbum.com They are located on the upper level of the building at the people ferry dock.
