We were there off season and felt that the service was really lacking. The property is beautiful and since it wasn't crowded we never had to fight for chair by the pool or beach. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. We took their water taxi and ended up wasting an hour at the airport waiting for other flights to come in and then another 2 hours at the bar in the marina waiting for the taxi. Would've rather been at the hotel instead. They also wouldn't let us leave earlier to do exploring in St Thomas, we had to go when they said based on our flight. Not sure we would stay there again.
My husband and I visited St. John for one day 29 years ago when we were vacationing on St. Thomas, USVI. We've wanted to go back ever since, but found it to be prohibitively expensive. Cheapcaribbean.com made it affordable for us to stay at the first class Westin St. John Resort and we had a wonderful time. Everything was wonderful: the rooms, the beaches, the snorkeling and the food. The only regret I have is that I waited until the last day to go parasailing and they had given the captain of the boat the day off. I'll just have to return to go parasailing. I have to praise the staff as they were most accommodating, answering our many questions, and our waiter the first night gave us some really good tips on which were the best beaches for snorkeling. We definitely want to go back! P.S. We even liked the iguanas!
poolside room with patio was fabulous. Connections for taxis and excursions were convenient and fun. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Only negative was the pesky "free" offers that actually turned out to be boring sales pitches not worth the free offers.
This was my second visit to the Westin St. John, and I was not disappointed. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating; our room was clean and comfortable; the drinks and food were delicious. By booking our package through Cheap Caribbean, we received a fantastic value on a great room. I would visit this hotel again without question and happily recommend this website.
Overall great stay for our honeymoon. Service was very good. The staff was very helpful in helping with our lost luggage and planning things to do on the island. The setting was absolutely beautiful.
Westin St. John was one of the best resorts and vacations we have experienced. The Westin grounds were beautiful, well maintained, and peaceful. The restaurant choices are okay, but there are plenty of dining choices downtown by short taxi ride. It was fun traveling downtown and experiences the local environment and cuisine. The beach was exquisite, as was the swimming, the view, and recreation choices. The room was okay, but comfortable and clean. We would definitely go to the Westin again!
St. John was absolutely breathtaking and overall, it was fantastic. It was such a treat to have the ferry boat transportation covered and how convenient it was to have our own private Westin Ferry boat to dock right up to the grounds of the resort. It was very nice.
The resort made everything so easy. Once we arrived in St. Thomas, our water taxi was waiting for us and transported us quickly to the resort. Even in the dark, you could see the fish in the oh-so-clear water. In our effort to experience everything, we didn't get as much beach time as I would have liked. But, now we know where we want to concentrate our time the next time we go - and yes, we will go again.
The CheapCaribbean package was wonderful and I enjoyed the resort as did my wife.We liked the Resort so much we took our 2 daughters back there for 3 days this past July 17-21 2010. Terry and Maureen Madison, Wisconsin
We stayed here October 9th, - October 16th. The week before our arrival, there was a huge rain - 15". Everything was in disarray, the pool was closed due to mud, the beach ruined and unsafe to swim in for days. However, we requested a room upgrade before we got there, and we were given a lovely villa! It was our 40th anniversary, so this was a real treat. The staff did their best to serve, in light of the disaster, and were very pleasant.. We went to other island beaches to snorkel and swim. Our villa had it's own ;pool, which was undamaged. We also sailed twice with Cloud Nine - loved Jason and Leslie - had a great time snorkeling. Look them up next time you're there! The only bad thing about the Westin is it's restaurants - the food was terrible and overpriced. We taxied to Cruz Bay for dinner. They really need to do something about their food choices. When in Cruz Bay, make sure you eat at Cafe Roma! Delicious!
