The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos can help travelers from North Lakes, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort that are rented by the week. Our local team answers questions before you book.
North Lakes sits in the West, far from the warm water of the Caribbean, so a snorkeling week on St. John can feel like a real change of scenery. Most of the people we talk with from Alaska are looking for something slower than a cold season at home, with clear water, soft sand and time to do very little. A villa rental at the Westin St John Resort gives you a kitchen, a bit of room to spread out, and a base for each day on the beach. Your days on the island can be simple. Pick a morning for the water, a quiet afternoon with a book, and an evening that doesn't need a plan. St. John has a relaxed pace, and driving is on the left, which is worth remembering the first time you head out. We are glad to talk through what a week like this looks like for your group before you commit to anything.

Planning your week from North Lakes
- Getting to St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT, then take a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry across to Cruz Bay. Plan for that sequence when you book your flights from North Lakes, and keep your snorkel gear and sunscreen in a bag you can carry on. Ask us anything about the crossing before you book, and we will walk you through it.
- Choosing when to leave. Alaska winters are long and dark, so many families from North Lakes choose the coldest months as their moment to head south. The Caribbean stays warm year round, which means the timing is more about your schedule, school calendars and the crowds you want to avoid than about the weather. Think about what matters most to your group, and we can help you match a week to those priorities.
- Planning the stay. Villa rentals are booked by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well because you can settle in and let the days repeat. Choose a villa with space for your gear, a place to rinse wetsuits and enough room for everyone to rest. Tell us how many people are coming and what kind of beach days you have in mind, and we will help you choose a villa that fits.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car on St. John for a snorkeling week?
Many guests rent a vehicle so they can reach different beaches on their own schedule, and driving is on the left side of the road. If you prefer to stay close to the resort, you can plan simpler days around the water. Tell us your plans and we will share what we know about getting around before you book your villa.
Can a villa rental work for a family from North Lakes?
A villa gives families from North Lakes a kitchen, separate sleeping areas and a comfortable place to gather after a day in the sun. Villas are rented by the week, so you can settle in for a full snorkeling vacation. Ask our team how many people you are traveling with and we will help you find the right fit.
