The Westin St. John - Bay Vista Villas Reviews & Ratings

Such a beautiful manicured resort with a huge pool and lovely beach. There is a restaurant open all day including dinner right on the beach. The access to the National Park beaches is very close by and they are the best beaches in the world.

We love the Westin, we love St John. It is our happy place, been going there for 15 years. The staff are awesome, even after enduring a hurricane that shut the place down for a year. It has everything you need, and the island National Park and beaches are like no other.

This resort stands up to the Westin name. Beautiful villas, property, pool, beach and amenities are excellent. Five minutes from quaint Cruz Bay and the entrance to Virgin Islands National Park. Love this place!!!

We love Westin St. John. It is paradise at BEST. This is our favorite resort, service, beach and pools are fabulous. Highly recommend for family vacation.

Spectacular vacation spot on a beautiful island. Wonderful for families and adults alike.

Beautiful villa with direct view of the bay! Extraordinary sunsets from your balcony!

We just spent New Years week at the Westin St. John in a Bay Vista 2 bedroom/3 bath loft unit that sleeps 10 people. The location of the villa is just above the pool and main resort area and it provides sweeping views of Great Cruz Bay and fabulous sunsets. The 2-story loft units are huge and there is plenty of room for large families. The resort has all the amenities you would expect from a Westin property, but is just a quick 5 minute cab to town for other restaurants and shopping. We can't wait to come back!

We vacationed at the Westin St. John for 10 years prior to buying there. To say we love this resort is an understatement. It is absolutely my idea of heaven on earth. My favorite beach to visit is Trunk Bay and my favorite bar on land is Woody's and on water is Lime Out!

CARIBBEAN PERFECTION!

The epitome of island elegance, this breathtaking resort is located along the tempting white beaches of Great Cruz Bay in tranquil St. John. Its lush surroundings, friendly atmosphere, incomparable water excursions and charming shopping district make a stay at The Westin St. John Resort Villas the perfect Caribbean escape.

We've been coming to this resort for more than twenty years. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The villas are lovely and have been updated a few times over the years. The kitchens are well supplied with everything you need to prepare meals. The grocery store is walking distance to the resort which makes it easy to stock up on food and snacks for your stay. Renting a car on site or in Cruz Bay is a great way to see the island and parking is free on the resort. We always enjoy the pool, the beach with kayaks and SUPs, tennis courts, the weekly activity schedule with yoga classes, group running, crafts and fun for all ages. All the amenities available at this resort make St. John our favorite place to vacation every year.

This is a little bit of paradise in the US Virgin Islands. This is an extremely safe island with easy access from mainland USA via St Thomas. This is a restful, enjoyable and stress free vacation. One can bring food or buy food at the local market adjacent to the Westin and cook at the grills steps away from your villa/room. Dining out is also fun.

We return here year after year and love this resort! The location is near Cruz with a quick taxi ride which are always available? The pool and beach onsite gives you options if you stay on property or you can visit the beautiful beaches or hiking trails on island! The villa is well stocked and clean. They do need to reopen a second restaurant on property!

Great Resort. Private Beach. Friendly Staff. Beautiful water and plenty of turtles around the island to see while snorkeling.

This is a beautiful resort that is well maintained and has full amenities. It is very clean and the staff is friendly and always accommodating! The villas are top notch and have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We have been going to the Westin St. John every year for more than 15 years. We’ve owned a Bay Vista timeshare fir the last 10 years. The Westin is a fantastic resort as it is close to Cruz Bay where we go every night to enjoy the great restaurants. The villas are clean, comfortable and spacious. Our family loves St.John and The Westin so much!

We Just Returned from a 2 week stay at the resort. The resort looks great; the beach and pool areas are perfect all new lounges, umbrellas and tables. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. All the units have been renovated, freshly painted and newly furnished. The Island's beaches are as pristine as ever. There were more great restaurants than we could possibly try! We can not wait till we get back to this U.S Caribbean paradise!!!

We love St. John and especially the Westin. We spend most of our time at the resort, so the Bay Vista's are really nice and conveniently located.

We rent a car at the St. Thomas airport and then take the ferry from Red Hook. (Budget or Avis will let you take the car to St. John.) There is free parking at the Westin so it works out great.

The Bay Vista Villas are absolutely GORGEOUS! As other guests mentioned, our first year visiting the Westin, we stayed in the hillside units. They are a DISTANT cousin to the Bay Vista Villas. We bought on our first visit and would only consider the Bay Vista units. The hillside units are NOT fun with little kids. The stairs are steep to the second floor and overall, I would say the unit feels a bit cramped. The Bay Vista Villas are much more open floor plan concept, all on one level (unless you select the Loft unit) and built within the last 5 years. The Westin property overall is worth visiting!! If you can only afford the hillside properties, still come! They are very well maintained, have small hillside pools and BBQ amenities within steps of your door, and the Westin service is great no matter what unit you stay in. St. John is a magical place to spend a vacation! We look forward to this annual getaway!

If you intend to use the pool ( 7or 8 of the most beautiful beaches in the world ) rent a jeep it's $450.00 a week for it's worth EVERY penny . If you rent on the hill , you can park you (expensive ?) jeep at your front door. The westin provides shuttle service up and down to the resort when you call. This will be our tenth year at the St. john westin the beauty of the island more that offsets ANY of the complaints of the 5 star wannabes

I am going to disagree somewhat to the posts above - while the Virgin Grand phase is up the hill - it isn't much of a distance. Having been in both phases - I would be inclined to stay in the hillside villas for 3 main reasons; 1) not on the main resort, 2) you can park by the villa, and 3) has it's own pool and BBQ area next to buildings (or it's own private pool/BBQ if you get the 3Bd pool villa). If you are there to stay primarily at the resort., then the BV phase is for you. If you plan to venture out and not be at the resort, the VG villas are a much better choice. To each his own, but we spend little time at the resort and most of our time at the many beautiful beaches. btw - the hillside villas are totally refurbished, better built, and also have heavenlu beds.
