On Monday evening, Teddy and I were graciously invited out to Lovango Cay to preview some of the upcoming expansions to the overnight accommodations, retail village, dining options and beach club. And, although, they still have some work to do this week, the “WOW” had to have been all over my face as project manager, Matt Snider, escorted us around the property to show us the future of these new expansions. I can’t WAIT to share the full story with you all after the official re-opening of the resort on December 20! But take a look at what they have in store for us…
Happy Monday! We just wrapped up another spectacular weekend here on St. John. On Friday, we did a little happy hour at Lovango Rum Bar with Kenny Floyd on stage and then headed over to The Beach Bar for an incredible night of music from a superstar lineup. There were so many good people around and we got to get some masked up dancing in…Which was a true highlight! It was relatively quiet in town on Friday night…But, on Saturday we went over to St. Thomas to pick up some boat parts and stock up on produce at Moe’s and the ferry ride home was ANYTHING but quiet. It was PACKED. Like, literally standing room only. And the holiday check ins don’t really start until next week. Which leads me to the purpose of this article….
Do you remember my mentions of the underground power line construction in front of Mongoose Junction and Grand Bay last month? Well, that construction is hitting the road…and moving to another part of town just in time for the holidays.
Hello everyone, and happy Friday! We have some great news to share with you all today! Ferry service between Cruz Bay and Charlotte Amalie is set to resume in just a few weeks!
Hello everyone, it’s Jenn (the previous owner of News of St. John)! Hillary is setting sail from Grenada today and is heading back to St. John aboard S/V Asante. She asked me to oversee News of St. John while she is off-grid this week, and naturally I said absolutely!
Good Morning! I know I JUST posted about the St. Croix Ferry schedule yesterday, but I noticed immediately after that the Red Hook to Cruz Bay Ferry schedule changed. Which could alter travel plans…But only a little bit 🙂 So, at the risk of being redundant with my boat talk….
Good Monday Morning! Normally I would wait until after the Monday Government House Press Conference to update you on COVID-19 information and changes to regulations. But, this weekend, Lieutenant Governor Roach signed an Executive Order making some somewhat immediate changes to travel testing protocol. So for those of you with upcoming travel plans to the USVI, I wanted to get this out immediately.

Good Morning! I hope that you all had a beautiful summertime weekend, wherever you are in the world 🙂 It has over and over again been brought to my attention that the demand for rental cars in the USVI continually exceeds the supply! A few months back, we compiled a list of St. John based rental car companies and I felt it might be time for a re-share on that. Especially with the reports I’m seeing out there about missed car barges, lost reservations and lengthy wait times for rentals on St. Thomas….
Good Morning! Last week, I was given and exclusive sneak peak of the newly renovated boutique hotel located on Cruz Bay’s Waterfront and I was so excited to see the updates and changes to this incredible space! All of the Wharfside Village has undergone an EXTREME makeover that encapsulates real world comforts with sleek and modern design and a “down island” feel.
