So there s not a lot of competition for dinner reservations. Alcohol and linens clearly offer bargains. Jewelry, watches and camera can, if you know prices and insist on money back guarantees and, on the last two, US warranties. Try the Atlantis Submarine ride or a guided snorkel trip over to Buck Islands. St. Croix seems more laid back, less expensive, quieter and polite than other Virgins.
Golfers face a happy choice.
The Carambola Gulf Club and The Buccaneer Golf Course are two of the best courses in the tropics. This is the place to hit golf balls in the USVI, and perhaps in the entire Caribbean. Play both and make your choice. The result s a classic tropical course that rolls over low hills with the rather subtle challenges characteristic of a Jones design. A 395 yard par four dead into the usual wind starts you off.
