St. John attracts so many different kinds of travelers because accommodations come in all price ranges. Folks on a budget can sleep at Cinnamon Bay Campground. Cruz Bay has a few moderately priced guesthouses and no-frills vacation villas. Those with fatter wallets will have no trouble finding a room at the island's resorts or luxury vacation villas.
Built among 18th-century stone ruins on a lushly planted hill overlooking Cruz Bay, Estate Lindholm has an enchanting setting—you'll feel as if you're out of the fray, but still near enough to run into town when you want. Rooms are sophisticated and have teak furniture that contrasts with crisp white fabrics. The sunset views from the pool deck provide a stunning end to your day.
Located in a middle-class residential neighborhood, this cozy, adults-only bed-and-breakfast is an easy walk from Cruz Bay, and it's perfect for folks who want to disconnect, as there are no in-room phones or TVs. White spreads and curtains provide pristine counterpoints to the blue and green hues in your room. Your hosts serve a delightful breakfast—piña colada French toast is a specialty—on the front deck.
Good for travelers on a budget, the Inn at Tamarind Court has rooms with rather pedestrian décor, but they're clean, and you can't beat the location, a five-minute walk from the heart of Cruz Bay's action. If you're up for a bit of a hike, you can even walk to the beach at Salomon Bay. Ask at the national park visitor center for directions. Single rooms share a bath, but the rest have private baths. The hotel's courtyard restaurant, filled with umbrella-covered tables, is popular with locals.
