The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and many travelers from Bureau County, Illinois, use that help to plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at the Westin St John Resort. Villa rentals there are booked by the week.

Bureau County sits in north central Illinois, where winters are cold and the lake-effect chill can linger well into spring. For many people from here, a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John feels like a real change of scenery. The island's warm water and quiet bays make it a natural fit for slowing down after a long winter. Planning from Illinois is mostly a matter of thinking ahead about travel days and what you want from your week. St John Condos can talk through villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort so you can pick a place that suits snorkeling gear, lazy mornings, and an easy walk down to the sand. Ask your questions first, then book with a clear picture of the week ahead.

Your week of snorkeling from Bureau County

  1. Reaching St. John. Most visitors from Illinois fly into St. Thomas, which is 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. Pack light for the ferry, and remember that driving on the island is on the left, so think about whether you want a car at all.
  2. Choosing when to leave. Leaving a Bureau County winter for the islands is a good idea any time of year, since the water stays warm. Think about which weeks suit your schedule and your tolerance for travel days. Once you have a window in mind, talk it over with the St John Condos team before you commit.
  3. Planning your stay. Villa rentals are booked by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well because you can settle in and let the days set their own pace. Decide early on your gear, your favorite beaches, and whether you want a villa close to the resort's own sand. Then confirm the details with St John Condos so nothing surprises you on arrival.
