The Westin St John Resort & Villas

One of only two large hotels on the island (the other being Caneel Bay Resort), The Westin is pretty much the opposite of Caneel in terms of style and ambiance, though it's no less desirable as an accommodation option. It's spread over 47 acres on the edge of Great Cruz Bay, flanked by lush green hills. The 320 guest rooms are immaculately appointed and feature Westin's Heavenly Beds® and Heavenly BathsSM. There's so much to occupy you at the resort that you never have to leave the property if you don't want to. There's a private 1200-foot-long beach, water sports, a gigantic pool, a health spa and fitness center, tennis courts, a kid's club and an excellent on-site restaurant, Cruz Bay Prime. The hotel also provides an optional all-inclusive package. For those who do want to explore the island, rental cars are available onsite.
