Cool, mall location and layout. Many different shops, restaurants, food and beverages. Everything from curated rum to ice cream to a brewery, delicious and more.

One of the best parks I have been to. So much fun, so much to see and do! The big lake is everything here, so bring your water shoes

Stunningly beautiful. Great snorkeling. Not crowded at all really since there are so many choices of beaches. We did get there early-ish. 9 am or so.

Excellent historical location. Very moving to see many parts of this plantation. The Friends of the Virgin Islands have demonstrations 3 days a week. It was our lucky day. We were able to try fresh bread, and got to tour the kitchen-which showed the wealth of the previously enslaved owner who bought the plantation that once owned him. It was so incredibly informative.

I parked at the tourist center and took the trail over. It was a pretty flat trail, and great for running! I think on a map the lower trail looks longer, but it’s flatter. The upper trail goes uphill a little bit and looks shorter on a map. I ran into a couple coming down from NPS offices, but it seems like a much harder hike. The beach was beautiful! There are snack bars, bars, and plenty of space. It looks like the two roads leading into the beach are private and not for public vehicles.

This was a great trail! Parking is just on the side of the road where ever you can find it. The trail down was easy and enjoyable with lots to see on the way. Take the side trail to the petroglyphs, it’s flat, easy walking and worth seeing. The sugar mill ruins are worth seeing too! The ruins are very intact and the placards were informational and interesting. My husband and I took a picnic lunch to eat on the beach to rest before hiking back up. I took a dip in the ocean to cool off. Reef Bay Beach isn’t the best beach to swim - the surf was a rough the day we went and you NEED water shoes to swim. Good beach combing here, though. The hike up: oooo boy. Like many other reviews said, the last 1/3 of the hike back up is a killer. We got a later start to the day then we wanted so we were hiking back up at 1pm, in the heat of the day. My husband and I are active (hike on weekends, weightlift 3-4 days a week) and most of the hike back up was easy. The last bit is at a decently steep incline with several sets of stone stairs and I struggled, though I think it was the heat and humidity that was affecting me the most. The actual trail really wasn’t that bad( I do a trail at home regularly that is steeper and I manage) but hiking it in the heat of the day is not recommended!! Don’t be like me! My husband made out just fine. Make sure you have enough water for the hike back up, you will need it!! That said, my husband and I made the 2.2mile hike back up in about 1hr 15minutes, even with my multiple water/breathing breaks.

Incredible! Much less crowded than Trunk Bay! Wonderful place to snorkel. We saw turtles, barracuda, sting ray, and tons of interesting fish! We loved or new friend, James! He makes the best tasting drinks. Make sure to find him at the bar a little further down from the entrance! Get The Lime in the Coconut! Lots of shade. You can rent everything you need for a fun beach day. There are 2 different vendors who sell chairs so check prices. Avg price is between $15 and $20 per chair. Shop it out first to get the best price! Didn’t see the donkeys this visit! Maybe later in the week!

They need to indicate on the website when they are closed or open. Or if they have repairs going on. All if they are closed for the week they need to indicate so to the public.

If you can’t go snorkeling with a boat, I do believe this is the best spot accessible from land. 3 things to be aware of - Wear water shoes. There are a lot of sea urchins where you get in the water. - We didn’t have any cell service once we hit the hiking trail. Which was fine. At the head of the trail you will have service from British Virgin island side. If you have to make phone call, be aware of your international plan. - Though not frequent, taxis do pass by if you don’t have a car. Just plan things early and you will be fine.

This is a great day trip to Jost Van Dyke! Soggy Dollar and Gertrude’s have the best food Make sure to walk with your passports for all passengers when you buy your tickets. Outside of that a very straight forward process and experience

I was visiting the island and it was my birthday. My son made reservations for La Tapa and it did not disappoint. We loved everything from our drinks to our meal to the service and the views were fantastic. We were able to see the sunset.Just a great place in the island totally recommended.

Our group of 4 had a reservation Morgan’s Mango for dinner and just as well. A very busy spot, and great ambience! I had an Irma 2017 cocktail. A tasty fruity orgeat rum drink. My wife had a tuna ( good except stringy ) and swordfish main. I had a vegan soup and mahi mahi for my main. Mine was excellent For dessert, my buddy had bread pudding and I had the best Key Lime pie ever!

So our Skinny Legs trip was kind of an accident – we drove all the way over to Salt Pond Beach b/c it was raining in Cruz Bay and we were told the “dry” side of the island is always better when that happened. It was raining harder at Salt Pond by the time we got there! So rather than trek down a muddy trail and sit in the rain, we backtracked for lunch at Skinny Legs. We weren’t the only ones with that idea; the place was heaving. Fortunately they have a lot of parking, we kind of wedged our jeep between two boat trailers in the harbor parking lot next door. After tracking down the guy who had the waitlist (turned out to be the owner!) we tucked ourselves away in a corner of the bar with a couple of beers and waited for our table. As we watched the staff bob and weave through the hectic crowd, it occurred to me that they all seemed to have really good attitudes for being as busy as they were. The bartender always delivered our beers with an unhurried smile, even though he had a stack of drink orders. The waitstaff very politely excused themselves as they zipped around the space. It was really impressive. We finally sat down after about a half-hour wait (which is what we were quoted). The service continued to be friendly and relaxed, and the burgers were ah-may-zing! Very happy the weather gave us an excuse to try Skinny Legs; it will be definitely be on our must-visit list next time we’re in St. John.

We were seated within a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere was lively, but not so loud you couldn’t carry on a conversation. They offer an impressive variety of innovative tacos. Although I personally enjoyed the short rib quesadilla the most. The guacamole appetizer was really good, while the black bean dip was just okay. The frozen key lime dessert was a nice finish. They offer limited free parking, which is a plus. The lot on the corner charges $15 for two hours.

We loved sitting at the Hight Tide happy hour after coming back from the beach. They do a great happy hour, strong $5 run punches, and the view is unbeatable. We sat right on the beach until it was time for dinner. We ate a few times here too. The fish and chips on the lunch menu…delicious!!! Perfect texture, super moist, and a decent portion. The dinner food was a little pricey and not my favorite on the island, but I would definitely eat here again if I return to St.John!

I'm giving this fine establishment all of my stars, an excellent night out here for my wife and I and the food was so amazing. A three course venue is offered and each course was simply new and vibrant. All of this was well executed by the fantastic staff. Behind the scenes the chef is brilliant. Offering an exquisite display with tastes that force you to slow down and just enjoy each moment. The atmosphere was really superb for our last evening in St John. The "house made ricotta" was such a great surprise, unexpected I must say ! This was a phenomenal blend of tastes... To the staff- Thank you Mike and team for making our experience wonderful and a perfect grand finale to other great restaurants we visited in St John's.. Yet Extra Virgin Bistro was our favorite restaurant we enjoyed during our stay. We will be back... to visit St.John again and also to re-visit "Extra Virgin Bistro" so we can share this experience with some friends. When we return, we'd love to meet the chef!

This place was a highlight of the scene at St John. Always lively and the best nachos I’ve ever had and I’m from Southern California! We ate the nachos here two days in a row. The drinks are great. Had to get a Tshirt with their edgy Sun. Right in the water. Beautiful views and breezes, cold drinks and delicious food. What more could you want?? 🏝️🍹

We came here for dinner in St. John and had a great experience. Our group ordered the grilled and crispy mahi tacos. The grilled tacos were delicious and were very well seasoned, and the crispy tacos had very generous portions of fish on them. The lemon caper sauce was also very flavorful. We ordered the crab cake sandwich and the burrito. The crab cake was good, it had a lot of crab, but it could have used more seasoning. The burrito was delicious, both the chicken and mango salsa were amazing, but the top had a lot of sour cream on it. The burrito came with a side of chips, and some of them tasted stale. We ordered a to-go key lime pie slice which was tiny and unimpresseive. Would not do that again. Other than the key lime pie, everything was very delicious.

The Banana Deck isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a tropical fever dream with a side of steak. This place screams vacation vibes, and the menu? Let’s just say it’s like someone read your mind about everything you never knew you wanted to eat. First off, Caribbean Chicken. Panko-crusted, stuffed with ham and Swiss, then topped with a pineapple Swiss cheese cream sauce. It’s basically a Swiss roll that got a Caribbean makeover and ended up on my plate. It’s sweet, savory, and so good I considered writing it into my will. The Shrimp Curry is a spicy little number served with rice and fried plantains. Fried plantains! It’s like the banana’s cooler, more delicious cousin decided to crash the curry party, and honestly, I’m here for it. Now, about the Ribeye Steaks. They’re not just steaks—they’re a lifestyle. You’ve got 12 oz, 14 oz, or 16 oz options, and let’s be honest, bigger is better when you’re on island time. Oh, and you can load your baked potato with bacon, cheese, and scallions because calories don’t count in paradise. Pro tip: spring for the Gorgonzola Pine Nut Butter. It’s life-changing. And we need to talk about dessert. The Xango is banana caramel cheesecake wrapped in a tortilla and deep-fried. Deep-fried cheesecake in a tortilla? If that’s not genius, I don’t know what is. It’s like your sweet tooth went on spring break and decided never to come home. The atmosphere is laid-back, the drinks are cold, and the food is so good it might ruin all other dining experiences for you. If you’re in St. John and not eating at The Banana Deck, are you even doing the island right? 10/10, would eat my weight in Xango again.

Great vibe and great food! The hubs and I sat at the bar and people watched. The Caesar salad and pizza were just what we needed after a day on the water. They have many self brewed beers, seltzers and mixed drinks on tap + a cocktail menu, there is something for everyone here. The bartender was super nice and our food came out fast. We plan to go back with the kids before we go home, this is one of our favorite places to eat on the island. Recommend!!

St. Croix is a beautiful island and I enjoyed every minute of this trip. Under lots of construction but the people were very nice and accommodating. There were too many flights leaving at once so the terminal was super packed. Hopefully they figure out the flight gate situation. Ladies at the snack shack were a delight and handled serving everyone quickly. TSA and Customs were really friendly. Update Just came back from our Christmas Vacay and let me tell you the airport terminal construction is coming along very well. The Terminal looks amazing and all the plans look great love the new concept and can't wait to see the final transformation.

Cyril E. King Airport (STX) is a decent airport for those visiting St. Thomas. The locals greet people and are very kind and welcoming. While it may not be the most modern or spacious airport you've ever experienced, it serves its purpose well. The check-in process is usually smooth, and the security lines are manageable, even during peak travel times. The airport offers a limited selection of shops and restaurants, but you can find the essentials like snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. The baggage claim area is well-organized, and the rental car companies are conveniently located. Overall, Cyril E. King Airport is a functional and efficient airport that provides a good starting point for your St. Thomas adventure. It may not be the most luxurious or exciting airport, but it gets the job done.
