U.S. Virgin Islands🇻🇮

St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John | 2022.

Notes

• The U.S. Virgin Islands are beautiful, with friendly people, delicious food and beautiful beaches. Highly recommend visiting.

• You can catch a ferry from one island to another.

• I did a solo trip to St. Croix. And then visited St. Thomas and St. John on a group trip the following year.

• Most of the hotel options are on the older side.

• Here’s my google doc, which has the information included in this post (minus the pictures), which may be easier to reference.

St. Croix

Accommodation

• The Fred

  • A cute boutique hotel in Frederiksted. At the time I visited, it was the newest hotel on the island, but I believe there was another new hotel that opened since.

  • Food and drinks at the hotel were good.
