Sorry, the Westin is going to be open by November this year??? The hotel??? I don't think so. Maybe the timeshares at the Westin, Coral Beach Club, I think it's called??

I'm not that familiar with the area, but the timeshare section is open. The hotel is not, and apparently they are not even working on the hotel.

.. not to mention the definite possibility of lots of seaweed there... I would look elsewhere.

We were on the island a week ago staying at OBBR. We drove over the hill to the Westin and was told by the security person that the resort has only opened to the timeshare owners. He also told us that he had no idea when the resort would be ready for the public to rent a room. You might want to call the resort directly before booking thru a vacation site. If you are renting from a timeshare owner then you might be ok. it is 15 minute drive to Phillipsburg and a 30 min. drive to orient Beach because of road construction.

NewView--Not sure when you're going, but the seaweed situation at Dawn Beach has been pretty bad fairly continuously for the past year. I personally wouldn't risk it, for my vacation.

We always use Unity Car Rental. Michael (owner) is super nice.

We drove by Dawn Beach today. No WAY I would stay there right now. LOTS of seaweed around, lots of derelict boats there.. Took some pictures, which will try to post at some point.

Sorry, Martini, I understand you are invested in that area, but no freaking way I would stay there right now. Seaweed, stink from seaweed, way far away from most anything on the island.

bonsie--are you talking about now? We couldn't see the beach in front of the Westin, but that whole area is COVERED with seaweed in the water yesterday. I took some pictures that I will post eventually.
