Westin St. John unit choices

[hcarman]

I have been a Marriott Vacation Club owner for years so am not as familiar with the Westin properties. Have purchased a minimal Westin package and we are looking at staying at the Westin St. John next year some time - dates still up in the air - and noticed there are multiple options for 2 bedroom units. I did search Tug and got some information on the different unit types but still looking for more information on differences in unit location, layout, etc. There will be three of four of us traveling - adults - and view is important but also proximity to amenities. Things like kitchen size not as important. I am sure everyone has their own personal preferences, but curious on what others think. No guarantees of course that all of the 2 bedroom unit choices will be available when we book.

Sunset Bay Vistas are the closest to the bay, beach, pool, and pool bar/restaurant. They are also the smallest and the second bedroom has no windows. Two of the six buildings are the only ones at WSJ with villas that are actually oceanfront rather than ocean view...but there is no way to book OF.

Coral Vista Villas are next closest to the bay and are close to the ferry and the sometimes fine dining restaurant, Lemongrass. They are also next largest.

Bay Vista Villas are next closest to the bay and are closest to the taxi stand and main buildings of the resort. The 2BRs are quite sizeable, have much better 2nd bedrooms, and come in two flavors - standard and loft.

Lastly, on the other side of the street from the main resort are the Virgin Grand Hillside Villas. The VG Hillside buildings have their own shared pools and parking next to the villas and also come in two flavors - standard and townhouse.

Much useful information and most of the floorplans can be found on the Westin website...but I would also suggest looking at...

Thank you very much - very informative and gives me a great starting point. The not having windows in the 2nd bedroom would be a bummer - for adults especially. Looking forward to a future trip here. We have done St. Thomas and BVIs, but never St. John’s.
