The Westin Resort St. John is the premier hotel property on the island. The island has a variety of grocery stores, some small and quaint with specialty items, and some similar to the states, except smaller of course. We drive on the left here, so most peope use taxis to get around. There are plenty of cabs around all the time, especially on the North Shore.
Most rentals give a weekly discount if booked in advance so check it out before leaving home.
During high season the cars are booked weeks ahead of time. St. John features a wide selection of fun and unique outdoor dining experiences. From native Pates' and Johnny Cake stands, to fine Italian, International cuisine, pizza parlors, and 5 Star gourmet restaurants. Due to the mountainous terrain, and the fact that we drive on the left, leaving the driving to the local taxis is sometimes a good idea. They are plentiful, and always a good source of island history.
