Westin St. John

About:

As you may or may not know the Westin is a part of a much bigger hotel portfolio called the Starwood Hotels & Resorts?  Several major names such as Le Meridien, Four Points, Westin, Starwood’s Luxury Collection, A loft, Sheraton, Element, St. Regis and W Hotels.

I am a Starwood Preferred Guest and have enjoyed travel at almost of all the resorts above. Most recently the Westin St. John located in the US Virgin Islands where you will find White sugar-sand beaches and turquoise waters. This resort was a sublime tropical retreat. Overseeing Cruz Bay and minutes from the National Park. 

My experience:

From the moment we stepped of the plane we were greeted at the airport with mini shots of rum and a warm and welcoming smile and a little island twang “ welcome to the islands “ I immediately felt right at home.  We waited along side of honeymooners, people celebrating anniversary’s and people who were time share holders at the Westin expecting to see our luggage arrive like everyone’s. Mind you it’s midnight in St. Thomas so we had been traveling close to 24hrs due to the fact that we missed a connection and had to be rerouted through Miami. But once we landed and caught the “island fever “ none of that seemed to matter. As we waited until the last bag come of the luggage machine and the bags weren’t there we had a Westin representive take care of helping us file a claim and then we were off in a cab that took us on about a 30 minute ride to a dock where we took a ferry for what seemed to be another 30 minutes or so. It was so amazing being on the ocean where all I could see were stars and more stars. I could smell the strong smell of salt in the air and hear the boat crashing through the waves It was the most amazing feeling ever.

 Ariel photo of the resort and the boats docked!

Once we arrived we were driven to our room where we were so excited to just flop on the bed and just sleep… Upon waking at 6am to see all the yachts docked in front of the resort and this crystal blue water as blue as my eyes  I threw on my swim suit and ran out like a wild banshee. I only stuck my toes in the water it felt like my bathtub the water was so warm and the sand was soft as cotton. I felt like I was on another planet or something… The resort was crawling with all kinds of wild life from iguanas to exotic birds and lizards. It didn’t seem to matter what time of day it was or where we were we always were greeted and give smiles…  back to realty no luggage the hotel was so kind especially the manager

(Kevin) I sat down with him and explained the situation he was so nice that he upgraded us and even gave us a resort credit to use in town to purchase clothing, food, or medicine considering some of us were sick or were becoming sick (me) Two days into the vacation the luggage arrived and we were able to enjoy the vacation we set out for. I give the Westin St. John six stars and will be going back as soon as I can. I also had the joy of visiting the spa OMG! The massage I received was so amazing. Overall it was perfect! So if you are wondering where to go on vacation I say take the plunge and visit St. John
