The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps families from Jackson Lake, Colorado, plan a Caribbean stay at villas near the Westin St John Resort, with a local team ready to answer questions before you book.
For families coming from Jackson Lake, the trip to the Virgin Islands is a big change from the mountain air you know. Colorado winters are cold and snowy, so a week of warm sand and clear water can feel like a real reset for everyone. St John is a small island, and that smallness shapes how you plan: you will spend more time together, slower mornings, and fewer errands. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give families room to spread out, cook a simple breakfast, and keep their own routines. Many travelers from landlocked states tell us they appreciate having a kitchen and separate space after a long day in the sun. Plan around the rhythm of your household rather than trying to pack every day full.

Getting from Jackson Lake to St. John
- Reach St. Thomas first. Most visitors from Colorado fly into St. Thomas, which is the usual airport for St. John. From there, a taxi takes you to Red Hook, where you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. Keep a small bag handy for the ferry, and let your family know the order of the steps so nobody feels rushed. Ask us to confirm the current ferry details before you travel, since schedules can change.
- Pick your season carefully. Families from Jackson Lake often prefer to travel during a school break or in a season that avoids the snowiest months at home. The islands stay warm through much of the year, so the real question is crowds and comfort. Think about what your children most look forward to, whether that is swimming, quiet beach days, or exploring. Let that guide your dates.
- Plan the villa stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits families who want a steady base instead of changing rooms. Map out a loose plan for beach days, rest afternoons, and one or two outings, leaving open time for spontaneous swims. Note that driving on St. John is on the left side of the road, so consider how you will get around before you arrive. Our team can walk you through the options.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a car on St. John?
Many families find it helpful to have some way of getting around, since the island is hilly and roads wind through it. Driving is on the left, which may take a little getting used to for drivers from Colorado. Think about your group size, your comfort with unfamiliar roads, and how often you plan to leave the resort area, then choose what fits best.
Is a villa better than a hotel room for a family?
A villa gives a family more space, a kitchen for simple meals, and separate areas to rest. That can make a week feel calmer, especially with young children or relatives traveling together. If you prefer daily housekeeping and nothing to manage, a hotel may suit you better. Tell us what your family values and we will help you compare.
