The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Monte Vista, Colorado, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort. Ask us anything about villa rentals before you book, and we will answer plainly.
Monte Vista sits high in the San Luis Valley, where the mountain air is dry and the days can turn sharp once the sun drops. For many people who live there, a week on the water is a welcome change of scenery. Snorkeling over reef-lined shallows and long, quiet beach mornings can feel like a reset from a landscape of open sky and distant peaks. A week on St. John asks for a different kind of planning than a weekend in the mountains. The island is small and green, the water is warm, and most of the rhythm of the day follows the beach and the boat. Our villas give you room to spread out, a kitchen for slow breakfasts, and a home base close to the Westin St John Resort when you want an easy day.

Planning your week from Monte Vista
- Reaching the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan your connections with a little slack, since travel from a high valley town can run through several airports. Keep in mind that on St. John you drive on the left, so take a moment to adjust before you head out.
- Choosing your timing. Colorado winters are long and cold, so many travelers from Monte Vista aim to leave when the snow is at its deepest and the Caribbean sun is most welcome. Think about what you most want from the trip, whether that is calm water for snorkeling or a quieter beach season. Our team can talk through the options with you before you commit to dates.
- Planning the stay. Villas are rented by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well. Choose a villa with a kitchen so you can keep mornings simple, and settle on a plan for boat days and beach days in advance. Use our Villa Rentals information to compare layouts and see what each home includes before you book.
