Relax, your Westin St. John vacation will afford you all the luxury you crave and the convenience you desire. Located within three miles of the bustling island of St. Thomas, the island of St. John is the least developed and perhaps most serene of the US Virgin Islands. Two-thirds of the island is lush tropical hills, protected as national parkland in the Virgin Islands National Park.
The island’s main community, picturesque Cruz Bay, offers dining, shopping, and beach-style entertainment. Cruz Bay is also home base for safari buses, jeeps, and helicopter tours providing scenic excursions around the roughly 30-square miles of this island paradise.
Although there are historic sites to explore and miles of national parkland, when you travel to the Westin St. John, your vacation is all about the beach. The Westin St. John occupies a prime stretch of 1200 feet of Caribbean beachfront, with powdery white sand and dazzling turquoise water. If you daydream about an idyllic beach… this is the beach dreams are made of; perfect for shelling, sunbathing, swimming, and leisurely strolls.
Owned by Starwood Vacation Ownership, the Westin St. John is already an impressive resort. Yet for Westin St. John timeshare owners (or soon to be owners), the luxury is growing even better as Starwood Vacation Ownership completes a $35 million property renovation project. The renovation includes the Coral Vista Villas, along with enhancements to the main pool and pool bar at the Westin St. John, and to the Beach Café, Mango Deli, and Westin Workout fitness center.
The Coral Vista Villas upgrades provide resounding confirmation that Starwood timeshare is committed to its owners and to the ongoing quality, beauty, and appeal of this exceptional Caribbean timeshare resort. With unique and dramatic décor, the Coral Vista Villas feature contemporary furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private, furnished balconies as part of each vacation ownership villa. Typically, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath Westin villa provides between 900 and 1200 square feet of well-appointed space.
A 2-bedroom Westin St. John Bay Vista villa (for example) sleeps up to eight adults in 1210 square feet of stylish accommodations. Villas include Westin’s trademarked Heavenly Beds, a king size in the master and double beds in the second bedroom.
Living areas include flat-panel TVs, cable, and Bose DVD home entertainment systems, a sofa bed, banquette dining, and a fully equipped kitchen. Typically, these villas are single-level floor plans, with two private, furnished balconies, an in-unit washer and dryer, and central air conditioning.
US citizens can travel to St. John with only a US government-issued ID (such as a state driver license). No passport is required because as part of the US Virgin Islands, St. John is a US territory.

The US dollar is the currency standard for St. John and voltage is standard 120, just as it is in the United States. Also, your US driver license is accepted in St. John, however islanders do drive on the left hand side of the road.
