Great Video! I’ve been to St. Thomas 29 times!…My parents started taking my brother and I to St. Thomas when I was 13. Now, at 58, I’m anxious to make my 30th trip in 2023!!! I can’t wait 😛
I'm a newbie to the island; only been several times now. Enjoyed it so much, bought a place on the Mahogany Run grounds. Now, I can stay and play at my discretion 🤙🏼
@@Porterhomecare I've made a new and updated video with 11 of the best places to stay on the island! ua-cam.com/video/XVpyZ-YHRKE/v-deo.htmlsi=FFRXhUIMwyRtWzGJ
Nice job! I usually stay at the airbnb Vessup Vacation Rentals, which is a 10 minute walk to Secret Harbor and Vessup Beach, and 15 minute walk to Red Hook. Great hosts!
Thank you so much! I usually stay at the Marriott, however they dont have availability for part of my stay, so I was beginning to crash out. Sapphire Beach and Secret Harbour seems like two great alternatives. Thank you!!! 👏🏽
You're welcome! I think you'll have a great time at those resorts, let me know how it goes! I love Secret Harbour! Also, did you see my latests UA-cam video, I included 11 of the best accommodations in St. Thomas, here's the link: bit.ly/4h3PuCG
I just returned from Sapphire Beach Resort and loved it! Great location to Red Hook. Also Camilla- I had my birthday dinner at the Easterly based on your recommendation and absolutely LOVED it. Incredible seafood and service at the bar.
Hii Adrienne! We absolutely loved it too. Which building did you stay at? We stayed in building D. Aww, I love that so much for you! I'm so happy you had a great birthday. I would have been embarrassed if you had a bad experience on your birthday!!! 😂 When will you be back in St. Thomas??
@@CamillaJohannesen we stayed in A, the one right next to the coffee shop and beach bar! My husband lived there in his 20s so we’re bound to come back with our kids next year and rent a big ol villa up in the hills this time. 😍
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have more questions, I love to help! Yes, the restaurants are open now, and Sea Salt is great! You can see my new and updated video with the best places to stay here: ua-cam.com/video/XVpyZ-YHRKE/v-deo.htmlsi=FFRXhUIMwyRtWzGJ
Thank you so much for posting your vids for St. Thomas! Because of you I booked Sapphire beach and it was perfection! You should create a video about driving on St. thomas! I was totally prepared to drive on the left and got the hang of it quick, but I was not prepared for the hills and turns! Crazy. I could not and did not drive at night.
@@CamillaJohannesen it was 2020, my husband google st Thomas then your videos popped then I was like I watch this blogger, then we decided to travel there I don’t remember the place but it was on top of the mountain, I will send u a link
@@CamillaJohannesen are there any delinquent tenants that get evicted from their apartments; and are there any homeless people living in homeless encampments in USVI ? Are there any electrical vehicles on the streets of USVI; and are there enough charging stations in USVI?
Hiii! Omg, yes, so many, I have a full food guide to USVI on my channel, and you should also try Speedy Redemption in Crown Bay, try their burger, it's legendary! Here's the link to my food guide: ua-cam.com/video/sOGZFbVohxs/v-deo.html
@@CamillaJohannesen Ooh! I'm getting all excited thinking about it! 🤭 Thanks for responding! I will most definitely check out that video! Thank you again! ❤️💛💚
Hey Camilla awesome video as usual. Sorry I couldn’t join y’all on this trip. I’m working a 9-5 now and I was pretty much in for night when y’all called. Be sure to hit me up early in the day when next you come!
Hey Marcus! No worries at all, I'm hoping business is going well for you! But yes, we finally have to meet next time we come to the island, I hope it's not too long. Everything is good with you?? And thank you for always watching my episodes, really appreciate it!
Hi I’m serious thinking about booking the gardenia Villa he mentioned? I really am strictly going for a beautiful beach waters with white sand.?! my husband likes to snorkel. What do you think about this location?
We prefer the Margaritaville resort over them all! It doesn't hurt that we are Club Wyndham owners so we only pay an annual fee of $1200, paid monthly $100, and we can use those points to stay anywhere we want. This year we went to Cozumel. Next year we are going to Puerto Rico :)
We enjoyed Margaritaville too, we stayed there last year for New Years. I love how close it is to the Coki beach. But yeah, that is a great deal, and I totally understand why you would go there then! Have you been to Puerto Rico before? We love San Juan! Aaand I'm gong to Mexico in August 🥰
@@CamillaJohannesen we have been going to a new island every year since we went to USVI, all using our Club Wyndham. Have never been to PR and hadn't been to Mexico before. We definitely want to go back to St John though, so far the water there is the most beautiful we have seen.
I was sad to see that Margaritaville was a mess when I went. The beach stunk and wasn’t cleaned up of all the seaweed and was cloudy and yellow. The pool was cloudy, and the music and dj’s there were unappealing playing bad rap and club music at a volume where you couldn’t hear your own thoughts. The sunset cruise out of there was delightful, but even some of the sailing guests had said they regret booking Margaritaville. I stayed in November of ‘22
Ohhh that is so hard to answer!! I love both. Secret Harbour is way more relaxed and secluded. But Sapphire has a lot more going on with all their restaurants, marina, etc. So it really depends on what you prefer, I think I like the Sapphire location more! Did you end up booking any of them??
I know this post is 8 months old, but are there any all inclusive resorts in the Virgin Islands? “All inclusive” seems to get misused when researching, but just looking for drinks and food included in the stay
Haha, I just made an updated one, with the best places to stay in St. Thomas 2024: ua-cam.com/video/XVpyZ-YHRKE/v-deo.htmlsi=FFRXhUIMwyRtWzGJ. Still no all-inclusive, the only place that has that is Bolongo Bay, but I've never stayed there.
Ohh how wonderful! Are you staying at the hotel side or the destination club? We absolutely loved it over there. Hopefully we will be back soon. How long are you staying? :)
although we've stayed at one of these places, for a majority of people, especially staying for a week, may not want to fork out 500 or more per night to sleep.
I 100% agree with you! But I'm just showing the most common places to stay in St. Thomas, and those are the average prices there. I have tons of affordable places to stay on my channel, all the way down to $15 a night in some places in Bali, Sri Lanka, etc. St. Thomas is not a cheap place to travel to, but it's very convenient for Americans since it's so close.
Yeah, its def not the cheapest travel destination! I have tons of other more affordable traveld destinations on my channel, but I always also love Mexico because it's so close and affordable.
That is so cool! We are def going there, I've always dreamed of going to the Himalayas. And you have such a beautiful and rich culture too. Are tourists starting to come back to Nepal now after Covid?
My mother worked at Secret Harbor so I grew up on the beach almost every weekend while she was at work back in the 1960s. Thanks for the video of Secret Harbor, good memories. Bolongo Bay Hotel and Point Pleasant Hotel are also great like Secret Harbor. Software JBertrandCalculer 🇺🇲🇫🇷
Ahh it's such a magical place! I think Secret Harbour in St. Thomas has one of the best vibes of all on the island. I'm sure you had som incredible memories there.

Very nice video.
Thank you so much!
Tons of seaweed at the beach I see. I prefer Ritz Carlton in Aruba
It really depends on what time of the year you get there, a lot of times the Ritz in St. Thomas has no seaweed!
OMG I just checked these prices! They are so expensive.
Yeah, its def not the cheapest travel destination! I have tons of other more affordable traveld destinations on my channel, but I always also love Mexico because it's so close and affordable.
Boy....... he got him one.
as a nigerian can i relocate to ST. THOMAS
I think Google is your friend here :)
I'm biased towards St. John's, am I wrong?
