St. John USVI is a spectacular vacation spot. In fact, tourists who have traveled all around the world often agree that St John is among the best places they have visited. There’s reason for that.
Unlike most of the great vacation spots you visit, what sets St John apart is its very serenity and inaccessibility. Nearly two-thirds of the island is covered by the Virgin Islands National Park, which leaves very little of the island open to major (read intrusive) development projects. The trappings of civilization are quite nonexistent and visitors get a chance to unwind and connect with the beauty and magnificence of nature.
It is natural that tourists who come to St John want to know something about the best accommodation offered here. Unlike other tourist places, you won’t find a proliferation of star hotels. To many folks, that’s a part of the attraction. So, here are some of the choices on offer at St John.
Accommodation in St John varies from luxury five star hotels to modest condos and quaint, homey little inns. You even have the choice of picking a campground to stay in! The point is, you’ll be spoilt for choice and hard put to make a selection. Easiest way out? Choose something in keeping with your budget and your needs.
If luxury resort hotels are not on your list, you can turn your attention to inns, cottages, villas or B&B’s. There are several excellent choices. Though these kinds of accommodation are modest and not as luxurious as the big hotel resorts, they provide you excellent amenities and wonderful views at great prices.
One of the best options available at St John is to simply rent a home or a villa. From the very beginning, the islanders have been renting their villas to tourists. So, you can easily find many, many villas on rent at St John. These villas range from modest single bedroom cottages to opulent mansions. You can contact most villa rentals through their websites or through travel agents. It is important that you verify that the villa you choose has all the facilities that you want. Reserve in advance and confirm your booking before you arrive.
Campgrounds are another option if you want to stay in the heart of nature. National Park offers you a number of campgrounds. For the adventurous, there is even an opportunity to pitch your own tent and live a truly rustic life. Alternatively, you could opt for tents owned by the campground or cottages at the campground. Of course, campgrounds offer little by way of privacy, but they’re great if you want accommodation in St John at a steep discount!
What rates can you expect? It depends on the season really. If you go during the off-season period, you will get the best accommodation in St John at a discount of 30%-40%. No kidding! Of course, there is a small hitch – each place has its own definition of high and low season.
St Johns Accommodation – Into the Mystic is a gorgeous villa, available for rent, overlooking the beautiful St. John’s Coral Bay and US Virgin Islands.
