The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps families from Chisana, Alaska, plan a shared trip to the Westin St John Resort, where villas suit three generations traveling together.

A trip with grandparents, parents, and children asks for a different kind of planning than a couple's getaway. Chisana sits in the interior of Alaska, far from the warm Caribbean water you will find on St. John, so the change in climate is part of the appeal. Everyone in your group will likely want a place to rest, a quiet corner to read, and room to gather for meals together. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give your group that room. Many visitors reach St. John by flying to St. Thomas, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Once you arrive, you can settle into a home base that lets older relatives, younger ones, and everyone in between move at their own pace.

Planning your family trip from Chisana

  1. Reaching St. John. Most travelers from Chisana fly to St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries you to Red Hook, and the passenger ferry crosses to Cruz Bay on St. John. Keep bags manageable for older travelers, and plan for a short, easy transfer at each stage so the whole group arrives rested and together.
  2. Choosing your season. Alaska winters are long and cold, so many families from the interior are glad to leave the snow behind for a warm island. Think about school calendars, the needs of your oldest and youngest travelers, and how much heat each person can comfortably enjoy. Talk through the timing with the whole family before you commit.
  3. Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a multigenerational group well. Discuss bedroom arrangements, shared meals, and how much time each person wants for beach or quiet. Driving on St. John is on the left, so consider whether you want a driver or prefer to rely on the resort for the days you stay close to home.

Frequently asked questions

Is a villa better than a hotel room for three generations?

For a group like yours, a villa usually gives everyone more space and privacy. Grandparents can rest in their own room, children can play without disturbing anyone, and the whole family can share a kitchen and living area. The St John Condos team can talk through the layout options with you before you book.

How do we keep older relatives comfortable on the trip?

Start by planning a slower pace with plenty of shade and rest breaks. Ask the St John Condos team about the villa layout, including ground-level access and nearby walkways. Coming from Chisana, many families also find it helpful to plan a rest day right after arrival.
