Best Places to Stay
St. John's individuality is evident in the ac-
commodations available. Your choices,
though limited in number, include two
world-class resorts - Caneel Bay and the
Westin St. John Resort and Villas. Each is set on a pristine
bay and, in the case of Caneel Bay, there are seven beaches
within the resort grounds. Unique too are the renowned
campground accommodations, which range from tents at
Cinnamon Bay managed by the USVI National Park Service
to the four distinctive eco-resorts operated by Maho Bay
Camps. There are a few basic West Indian inns in Cruz Bay,
but the best accommodations are at B&Bs, villas, condos
and private homes scattered throughout the island. There
are scores of rental agencies for you to work with. Those opt-
ing for villas and such will find it easy but not inexpensive to
stock up on provisions from basics to gourmet at local spe-
cialty markets.
