You will find that many major U.S. cities have direct flights to the Cyril East King International Airport in St. Thomas, or you can fly into the San Juan airport in Puerto Rico and then take a quick flight to St. Thomas.

You may choose to travel to the Resort via the public taxi and ferry services, or take advantage of The Westin's private transfer service, the Westin Breeze. The Westin staff at the St. Thomas airport will greet you, assist with luggage and transport you to the Westin ferry where you can also have lunch if time allows. Westin’s private ferry will pick you up and bring you to The Westin's private dock on St. John. Round trip transfer fees are $85 per adult. Transfer fees for all children aged 4-12 are $65 per child. Children under the age of three travel free. One-way travel is $45 adults and $35 for all children.

The trip from the airport to the Resort takes approximately one hour and a half. The taxi and ferry run on a set schedule coordinated around primary flight times.

As you disembark the plane, you will have to retrieve your luggage from the belt. Then you will proceed to the Westin lounge, which is beyond the baggage claim. They will check you in, tag your luggage, provide you with ground transportation to the ferry and then the ferry will bring you straight to the dock at the Westin. You can also contact the Westin's lounge (340) 776-0016.

The Resort is so close to town, it is not necessary to rent a vehicle for your entire stay. However, it is definitely worth it for a day or two to explore the rest of our beautiful island.

Pack lightly! Many guests find that they bring too much clothing and unneeded personal items with them.  St. John is a very relaxed atmosphere and not much is needed to enjoy your vacation. Beach attire and beach shoes, flip-flops, a hat for shade and plenty of sunscreen are priority.  All dining, except for a few restaurants, is very informal. Shorts, collared shirt, and sandals are fine, or you will feel comfortable in “Island Fancy” wear. You will mainly wear shorts and a T-shirt.  You may also wish to bring the right shoes for hiking the trails in the National Park.  No need to pack a hair dryer, iron, or beach towels, as they are provided in each room.  Beach necessities (water, ice, sunscreen, beverages) are abundantly for sale around the island. We recommend that you include essential items in a carry-on bag such as medication and one night's worth of clothing (and your bathing suit!) just in case your luggage is delayed.

St. John is considered one of the safest islands in the Caribbean.  Given its small population, it is ideal.  We always recommend using common sense when leaving articles on the beach or in your car, but overall, St. John is a very friendly and gracious island.

The Virgin Islands National Park makes up over two-thirds of St. John. The North Shore beaches start just outside of town, or a 10-minute drive from the Resort. If you prefer to walk, it will take you about thirty minutes. But remember, bring water and plenty of energy, as St. John is very hilly!

There are several choices available for water activities.  We are happy to book any excursions for you, just please call our office and we will help you find fun activities to suit your needs.

Our local islanders are very friendly and gracious people. One of their most coveted customs is to say, “Good (Morning, Afternoon, Evening), how are you?” before starting a conversation, and ending an answered question with “Thank you.”
