The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos is a local team that helps travelers from Dillingham, Alaska, plan a first trip to the Caribbean, with villas at the Westin St John Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Ask us anything before you book.
Dillingham sits in the western part of Alaska, where the land is wide, the rivers are working rivers, and the winters are long and cold. For many people there, a trip to the Caribbean is a real change of scenery, with warm water, bright sun, and a pace that feels very different from home. A first trip like this can feel exciting and a little unfamiliar, and that is completely normal. St John Condos rents villas at the Westin St John Resort on St. John, and we see a lot of first-time visitors come from places far from the tropics. Villa Rentals give you space to settle in, cook when you want, and take your time. If you are planning your first Caribbean stay from Dillingham, we are glad to talk through what to expect before you commit to anything.

Planning your first Caribbean trip from Dillingham
- Getting to the island. Most visitors reach St. John by flying into St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT. From there you take a taxi to Red Hook and then the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan your connections with some room to spare, since travel from a remote part of Alaska can involve more than one leg, and keep your documents easy to reach.
- Choosing when to go. Think about the season you prefer before picking your dates. The islands stay warm through most of the year, so the choice often comes down to crowds, rainfall, and how you feel about leaving winter behind. If you are coming from a place with cold, dark months, a trip during those stretches may feel especially welcome.
- Planning the stay. Villa Rentals are typically booked by the week, which gives you a steady rhythm to settle into. Consider how you want to spend your days, whether that is quiet mornings, time on the water, or simple rest. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so you may want to plan rides with that in mind.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to do anything special to get around once I land?
Getting from St. Thomas to the ferry and then to the villa usually involves a taxi and a boat, which is simple once you know the sequence. On St. John itself, driving is on the left, so take a little time to get comfortable before heading out on your own. We can explain the practical details before your trip.
Is a first Caribbean trip from Alaska very different from what I know?
Many travelers from Alaska find the heat, humidity, and slower pace the biggest changes. The water is warm, the vegetation is lush, and daily routines often shift toward being outdoors more. Planning a bit of shade time, drinking plenty of water, and easing into your schedule will help you enjoy the trip from the first day.
