Where are you, Iguana?
Just booked flights for next week..flying by the seat of our pants and can't afford the beach front resorts. So far the only two hotels avaliable for our dates are Bunker Hill & the Green Iguana. Can anyone give me a reason why one is any better/worse than the other? Must decide soon!! 2 freinds traveling for a quick getaway on the cheap, but want something we will enjoy. I'm sure we'll spend at least one day on STJ. gotta hit Woody's and The Beach Bar for sunset rum runners. I've heard alot about the GI, but can't find much info on the Bunker Hill Hotel (I'm thinking it may be a 'sign')
Check this message board out- best source for help I've seen for the USVI.

I can't help you with where to stay, we stayed in a house on the water in St.John, but I wanted to tell you to go to Skinny Legs if you get a chance, its a bar/rest. and shopping and just a hoot. Also has beautiful murals on the walls, people are very nice.
Take the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John....when you dock in Cruz Bay, walk around to the left to the National Park Service office/visitor center. You can get a trail map and do some great hiking....with great views....FREE! Of course, you'll want to head to famous Trunk Bay, too.....fee.
Just off the ship as you walk towards the ground transportation, there are many, many big iguanas on the rocks of the beach. Very cool!
When we first got to Magens Bay, we were almost the only ones there. By lunchtime it was like Venice Beach. Get there early! Also, be prepared to pay at least $8-10 per person to get there and then the same amount to get back or to the shopping area. Another $5 back to the ship. Lots of $$$ if you have a large party.
The only areas (Magen's Bay, shopping area) we were able to see in the time that we had were very crowded and did not live up to our expectations of the Virgin Islands. It was nice but maybe better 20 to 30 years ago. Lots of building and construction. Almost like Honolulu. I guess you can say that about most any of these tourist areas but this port felt just way too much like a tourist trap.
St. Thomas can be a great place to visit, if you enjoy shopping and don't mind crowded beaches. I highly recommend a visit to Magen's Bay and a night out in Frenchtown. Be careful, as crime can be pretty bad - definitely don't walk around town or remote beaches at night. If you can, take a day sail out to somewhere for snorkelling (Buck Island is a good spot) or charter a boat for fishing. It's also a short ferry ride to St. John or the British Virgin Islands.
