US Virgin Islands

Top 10 things to do in St Thomas

This year I decided to spend 3 days at the office and the 2 days at home or in the field. It has been the best decision of my life while I transition to fulltime entrepreneurship. It has given me the opportunity to travel one or twice a month and with an unlimited travel plan with Verizon I was able to remain connected without interruption as long as I am not in the jungle.

This time I had a travel partner due to difficulties obtaining a visa we decided to visit St Thomas in USVI. I must admit that it was a great decision and I even want to visit again to explore more of the island and going back to our favorite each.

We rented a car for our 4 days on the Island. The rental company sent a car to pick us from the airport and minutes later we were on our way to our first hotel. Unfortunately, when I booked our stay, I did not realize that it was not for the entire stay. I booked a room near our excursion in the city. The view from our room and all the lookout point at the hotel was breathtaking. I will refrain from mentioning the hotel and to recommend it for a stay. The wall was stained and bed uncomfortable. My skin crawls till this day just thinking of my night there. Their inclusive breakfast was even more mediocre.

The next day we checked out early for our Airbnb at Villa Salt life in Point Pleasant. The drive to our 1-bedroom apartment was scary as we had to drive uphill on narrow streets. The villa is perched perfectly above the water revealing a breathtaking Panoramic View. It is only 2 minutes’ walk to the pool, waterfront bar, and beach. It was very clean, and met every expectation. We had a stunning view from the balcony of our Livingroom. It was about 10 minutes from Redhook, five minutes from coki beach, and five minutes to a couple of other beaches. Our favorite was Magen’s Bay, which was about 25 minutes away.
