The sister property across the bay Lindberg bay villas is NOT the place to stay as well. Got back home and found a charge of about 150.00 added to our bill /charged to our card with no explanation as to what it was for.Had to call and contest that.
Oh yeah did I mention the flooded lobby on the way out to the airport in the morn.

Chriskal said:That's ridiculous. So glad I ultimately decided on the Mafolie v. Emerald Beach for our July trip. I'm not interested in a repeat from last November. People in the hospitality industry that behave that way can go #%*%# themselves as far as I'm concerned. http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/s...part=2&vc=1 Mafoli is great but was booked for the whole week.

tradewinds said: We also stayed there the night of 6/25 after our charter and had a great time. We arrived on the 10am ferry, went and had lunch and drinks, and they let us check in a couple hours early. Well now aren't we special!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> You can check in BUT did you get a room? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

NCSailor said: We prefer to stay on STJ for our last night post charter. Inter-Island Ferry is reliable, C&I is a breeze, and lots to do in Cruz Bay. NCSailor - What do you recommend in STJ that will do just one night?

Inn at Tamarind Court is walkable and basic; we have stayed there many times. Cruz Bay Beach Hotel and Coconut Coast Vilas are other walkable options, but they sometimes have a 3-night minimum. Hillcrest Guest House is up a steep hill.

tradewinds said: We've stayed at the St. John Inn for 1 night. It's just a short walk straight up from the ferry dock. We have stayed one night at the St John Inn and also Inn at Tamarind Court. The past three years its been Tamarind. The rooms are nicer and they have a small bar and restaurant. Can't go wrong with either place.

Most, if not all, ferries go from Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie to Cruz Bay before going on to the BVI. On the way back, almost all ferries go through St John for Customs and Immigration. There are some ferries that clear at the Tortola Wharf in Charlotte Amalie.

d_fish said: For those who stay in St. John:
How do you get from St. John to Tortola, either Soper's Hole or Roadtown? Do you have to ferry back to St. Thomas, then on to Tortola?
In future, if my group is a party of 8, I think we will try one of the private ferry services from STT to Tortola or vice versa. By the time we add the cost of rooms for a night (at least 2 rooms if 2 families), food & beverage and cost of the ferry to Tortola we should be at a break even. Plus it saves us a day or 2 if we take the private ferry pre and post charter. Other option is to charter out of STT, something we are seriously considering. Interisland Ferry runs three times a day from Cruz Bay to West End. And they run on time!
