St. John, US Virgin Islands (May 4, 2004) - The family vacation has gone high-tech and The Westin St. John Resort & Villas is the first hotel on St. John and one of the first in the USVI (there are none on St. Thomas) to offer high-speed connectivity.
Today families are traveling, not with one, but with multiple laptops. One for the parent who needs to stay connected to the office and another for the kids, whether it’s to download music and IM (instant message) or even for on-line schooling. These families are traveling with hubs to connect more than one computer to the Internet at the same time, as well as wi-fi cards so they can work at the resort’s wi-fi hot spots at the pool, marina and in the lobby. Guests at this Caribbean resort can pay $14.95 per day for guestroom connectivity or $24.95 per day for Sprint air cards which enables them to be wireless everywhere there is Sprint cell-phone coverage.
Located on the USVI’s smallest and most pristine island, The Westin St. John Resort & Villas is set on 47 lush, tropical acres. The 282 spacious guest rooms, suites and townhouses are decorated in island pastel colors with balconies or patios, air-conditioning, marble baths, Westin’s signature Heavenly Beds, Heavenly Showers, Heavenly Cribs, voicemail, dataports and high-speed Internet access. All are housed in low-lying structures bordering a 1,200 foot-long, crescent-shaped beach leading to the emerald waters of Great Cruz Bay. The resort’s 92 private villas, some with private waterfall pools, rest hillside with views of shimmering Great Cruz Bay.
The resort has four dining and entertainment venues, 24-hour room service, seasonal entertainment, and numerous activities, including six lighted tennis courts, snorkeling, diving, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, parasailing, fishing, a full-service fitness center, jeep rentals, and hiking in St. John’s Virgin Islands National Park, which covers 2/3 of the island. Golf is available via ferry on St. Thomas. The Spa at The Westin St. John Resort provides facials, body treatments and massages. The charming port of Cruz Bay offering a selection of fine shopping, dining and laid back nightlife, as well as the sleepy town of Coral Bay are also nearby.
