The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps first-time Caribbean visitors from Cook County, Illinois, plan a villa stay at the Westin St John Resort, with a local team ready to answer questions before you book.
If you live in Cook County, Illinois, a first trip to the Caribbean can feel like a big step. Winters here are cold and gray, so the idea of warm water and a slower pace is easy to appreciate. St John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and it has a calm, unhurried character that suits people who want a real break from routine. Staying in a villa at the Westin St John Resort gives you more room than a standard hotel room, along with a kitchen and space to spread out. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which many first-time visitors find easier to plan around. Our team can walk you through what to expect before you commit, so the trip feels manageable rather than mysterious.

Planning your first island trip from Cook County
- Reaching the island. Most visitors from the Chicago area fly into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there, a taxi carries you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little extra time for the transfer, and remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, which takes some getting used to if you rent a car.
- Choosing when to go. Illinois winters are a strong reason many people from Cook County head south in the colder months. The islands stay warm year round, so the best season depends on what you want from the trip. Think about crowds, rainfall, and how much you want to spend your days outdoors, then pick a window that fits your calendar and your comfort level.
- Planning the stay. Start by deciding how many nights you want and how many people are traveling with you, since that shapes the villa size you need. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort are booked by the week, so lay out your dates early. Ask our team about what is included, what you should pack, and how to handle meals and getting around before you book.
Frequently asked questions
I have never been to the Caribbean. Is St John a hard place to reach from Chicago?
It is a longer trip than a domestic flight, but it is straightforward. Most people fly to St. Thomas, take a taxi to Red Hook, and ride the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Our team can help you line up the pieces so the day of travel feels calm rather than confusing.
Do I need to plan a rental car, or can I get by without one?
Many visitors find a car useful on St John because the island is hilly and roads are narrow. Remember that you drive on the left. If you prefer not to drive, ask us about your options before you book so you can plan transportation around your stay.
