The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos rents villas at the Westin St John Resort on St. John for families travelling together from Alexander County, Illinois, and the local team answers questions before you book.

A trip with grandparents, parents, and children asks for a little more planning than a couple's getaway, and that is where Alexander County families often begin. Southern Illinois is a long way from the Caribbean in feel as well as in distance, so the island can seem like a big step for a multigenerational group. Our aim here is to make that step feel ordinary. The Westin St John Resort sits on St. John in the US Virgin Islands, and its villas give a family room to spread out while still sharing one place. Villas rented by the week suit a group that wants shared meals, quiet mornings, and space for everyone to retreat when they need it. Instead of several hotel rooms scattered down a corridor, you can gather around one kitchen table and one stretch of porch. Many visitors from inland Illinois find that the slower island rhythm is exactly what three generations hope for together. Plan the stay around who needs rest, who wants activity, and who simply wants to sit together.

Getting from Alexander County to St. John

  1. Reach St. Thomas first. Most visitors from Alexander County fly into St. Thomas, using the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there the passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Ask your family to share their mobility needs before you book, so the taxi and ferry legs can be arranged with comfort in mind for older relatives and younger children.
  2. Pick the season carefully. Illinois winters are cold, so many families from Alexander County enjoy leaving the snow behind for a warm island stay. Think about school calendars, grandparents' health, and how much heat your group can comfortably handle. Shoulder periods often suit mixed-age groups well. The St John Condos team can talk through the season with you before you commit to dates.
  3. Plan the stay together. Once you have chosen a villa, sit down with each generation and sketch the days in broad strokes. Leave open mornings, one shared meal, and some time when people can go separate ways. Driving on St. John is on the left, so consider who will drive and whether a quieter day suits the older travellers best. Use the villa as a home base so that everyone has a place to return to.

Frequently asked questions

Is a villa better than a hotel for a family from Alexander County?

For three generations together, a villa usually offers more privacy and shared space than separate hotel rooms. You can cook simple meals, keep children's schedules flexible, and give grandparents a quiet room to rest. Villas are rented by the week, which suits families who prefer to settle in rather than move around.

Can the St John Condos team help us with questions before we book?

Yes. St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, including questions about villa layouts, accessibility, and how the island suits a mixed-age group. Reach out with your family's needs and they can help you decide whether a villa at the Westin St John Resort fits your plans.
