Search hotels in Saint John

The fact that's St John is relaxing and laid back more nature and historical . The national park owns a good piece of the Island so it's well preserved. Make sure you make dinner reservations for the Cruz bag area as space is very limited.

St. John is a US territory, safe, beautiful beaches, nice selection of restaurants, no pressure shopping, etc. If you stay around Cruz Bay, you can get by without a rental car. There are plenty of open air taxis to take you to most of the North shore beaches (Hawksnest, Jumby, Honeymoon, Trunk Bay, Maho Bay). For 6-7 dollars each way pp. A rental Jeep runs 80-90 dollars/day and you have to have somewhere to park it at night. If you like a warm, relaxing vacation of beach, snorkeling, and eating out, St John is a great option !

We were happy to see more visitors this year. Last year - post-hurricane - it was sad that more people did not come because the recovery and cleanup crews and volunteers did a really remarkable job making the beautiful beaches at Trunk Bay, Cinnamon, etc., visitor ready. Yes, there was a tremendous amount of rubble, but that was all moved back and paths were cleared so people could get to the beaches. This year, the cleanup up had made even more progress, and the people are as welcoming and easy going as ever despite what they've been through. We ate at some of our favoirite haunts: Margarita Phil's, Morgan's Mango, Aqua Bistro, etc., and still miss others like Shipwreck Landing that didn't make it. We were combing our mostly leisure time with a tiny bit of business and, were rewarded by being able to see students from the Gift Hill School doing their ballroom dancing, and greeting a visiting Young Adult author to speak. In town, that hurricane makes one think about how grateful we all should be for volunteers who are continuing to work on the cleanup, for all who step up.
