If you're going to water taxi to Tortola. I'd stay on STJ; the Westin is a great choice... I usually agree with Jason but not this time. The Westin is not a good choice in my opinion. The beach is not swimmable (often water quality issues) and is just so so anyway - it is a harbor after all. You really need a vehicle to get around the island to the beaches you want to be on. Jeeps are in short supply on island - if you do decide to stay on STJ book a jeep before your lodging. We really like Calichi at Picture Point - they don’t have a 7 night min stay. The pool is awesome and the views stunning. I wouldn’t stay at BEYC yet - not enough offerings for a land based stay in my opinion.

Check out The Sugar Mill on Apple Bay., Tortola....my go to place for great food and pals have loved staying there..Then there is Jason's lovely complex " Coconut Breeze" on CGB that would be perfect..

If your budget includes the Ritz, perhaps an option would be a two bedroom at the Scrub Island Marriott. Great pool, couple of beach options and toys, boating adventures with Dive BVI out of the marina. Kids will enjoy.

With a high end budget there are a multitude of options in the BVI. Scrub is convenient for DYC charterers as it is their base but honestly isn’t all that special IMHO. Unless you want a cookie cutter resort experience, I would choose a unique place like Sugar Mill or splurge at Little Dix or, sigh, Guana.

Guana, I believe, only takes children during special weeks. Not sure about kids at Sugar Mill. That's why I was thinking Little Dix, or BEYC, depending on when OP is going. Another idea would be to charter a plane from STT to Anegada. Plenty to do with kids there.

Call the charter company and see if the boat is unhooked on some of the days prior. They might make you a really good deal to add a few days depending on bookings. 10 days is really needed in the BVI. Great points: If I have 3-6 days before or after your charter, i would give great bonus discounts because too short to book another charter. The relaxation difference between 7 days and 10 days is incredible.

Saint Jones island is a magnificent place. Been there last year, and it was worth the time and money. The view is amazing, especially when you follow the Ram Head Trail Never heard of it. Do you actually mean St. John???
