The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos is a local team that answers questions before you book, and for travelers from Golovin, Alaska, planning a week of snorkeling and beach days, we are glad to talk through villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort first.

Golovin sits on the western edge of Alaska, where the coastline is shaped by open water and the seasons run long and cold. For many people who live there, a week of warm sun, clear shallow water, and slow beach mornings feels like a very different world. St. John offers exactly that kind of change, with calm bays and reef life close to shore. Most travelers from Golovin reach St. John by flying to St. Thomas, which is the usual gateway for the islands, and then making the short onward trip by taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort are rented by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well. You can settle in, unpack once, and spend your days in the water.

Planning your trip from Golovin

  1. Reaching the islands. Most visitors from Golovin fly to St. Thomas, airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook for the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan the connections ahead of time, and keep your snorkel gear in your carry-on bag so it stays with you. Once you land, the ferry ride is a short, easy way to start your island week.
  2. Choosing your season. Golovin's winters are long and dark, so many travelers find that the coldest months are the most rewarding time to head south. Think about when you can get away from work and school, and whether you prefer the quieter stretch of the year or the busier one. Let the calendar of your own life guide the decision more than any rule.
  3. Planning the stay. Villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort are booked by the week, so a full week of snorkeling and beach days fits the rhythm well. Decide early whether you want a villa with room for everyone in your group. Driving on St. John is on the left, so keep that in mind if you plan to explore the island by car.
