The Westin Reopens Today!!

WESTIN BEACH VIEW OPENING DAY 2019 The Westin, January 4, 2018

Well folks, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Now I know that may sound silly to many of you, but today’s reopening of the Westin is a BIG deal to me! It means things are really getting back to normal! And I am so excited about that!!

We’ve been waiting for this day for nearly 16 months now, the day that guests can finally return to the Westin. I’ve been watching crews work around the clock to get the resort ready, and today I was able to walk inside and take pics for all of you. So rather than me chat about how great the place looks, I am simply going to show you. Enjoy!

To all of you who have reservations to stay at the Westin, welcome back!!! I am so excited to have you back! I cannot wait to pour a glass of wine on my patio this evening and watch you all mill about the resort. It’s a great day on St. John everyone. 🙂

And if you are staying at the resort and would like to see more of the island, I would love to take you on an island tour. In fact, I pick up my first guests Monday and could not be more excited!! Email me at [email protected] for more information.

Have a great day everyone and smile! Because today is a good day…

    • Troyal, are you sure you are going to the right place? This is St. John and St. Johns is a different place.

  14. Looks wonderful! Thanks for all your updates. Do you know if the tennis courts are open? Didn’t want to bring a racket Saturday if they are closed.

  22. Great day for St. John and the Westin team! Can’t wait to go back in June! Have the tennis courts been rebuilt yet?

  23. So excited to return to our beautiful, midwinter, wonderland! You all look to have been very busy down there! Can’t wait to see you in February

  37. Jenn,

    Thanks so much for the pics and updates and your online news… so very appreciated!

    Seems like so many people are listing their weeks here (and others are interested in renting)… any chance that you’d ever have a link on your site for people looking to rent our their Westin week?

    Just a thought!

    FYI – we have a President’s Week 2022 available.

    Thanks,
    Liz

  38. Just checked the webcam and saw the lights on at the Westin and a beautiful sunset. What a great sight!! Can’t wait to check in a week from tomorrow.

  39. Will be there in 15 days – can’t wait!! Married at caneel 18 years ago and St. John will forever be my home and happy place

    Thank ou so much for keeping us updated!!

  40. My wife and so and I were among around 100 guests to check in on Jan. 4. We’ll be here for one week. We heard that another 200 or so checked in on Saturday Jan. 5. There were many smiling faces all around. The pool area and the Sunset Bay villas look beautiful. There are some facilities that aren’t open yet, like Lemongrass Grill, Mango deli. It just feels so great to be back!

  41. Anyone know if the floats you can swim out to are back in place? We used to love swimming there and jumping off into the bay. Fun times. We also loved to gamble in town and hit up happy hour at woodys. We also loved feeding the donkeys doughnuts.

  44. My family has been coming to the Westin for the past 16 years as owners. Looking forward to our next trip in August.
