Great tips pretty much on point i might say. I live here so you did good. Not sure who told you about not getting alcohol on Sundays....you can get alchool any day at anytime. During the time you came though there was a restriction due to covid and places had to stop serving alcohol by 11 pm that icluded gas stations but now those restrictions are lifted. Groceries are expensive here no moatter which supermarket you go to but Moes is a little higher but they are preferred. Other than that great tips.

@zynobeatsshop7511 2 жыл бұрын

Hey quick question , is everything back to normal now ? When i traveled last summer they didn’t serve alcohol after 11 and no night scene pretty much .. loved it though

My husband had experience driving on the "wrong" side of the road in the UK, so for him it has never been a big deal to drive. (I let him do all of it. LOL) If you have never been there and are driving, try to be back at your accommodations by dark. Roads, as you said, are STEEP and very twisty (Donkey Hill, anyone?). You won't be able to drive very fast anywhere. At night, there is zero street lighting outside the populated towns. There are little to no shoulders on the side of the road, and you'll discover many locals walk along these roads at night wearing zero reflective clothing. You WILL NOT see them until you're right on top of them. We have always stayed at Limetree Beach Club (Formerly Bluebeard's Beach Club). Not all-inclusive (I don't think anyplace is all inclusive on St. Thomas) but it has two restaurants, a pool bar, and a small store with food, coffee, and beach items. But the resort is not designed to accommodate large groups and definitely not a party spot. But it's gorgeous and you'll see at least 2-3 weddings a week on the beach. Love the veggie burgers at Tap & Still. :) We always go there at least once during our trips.

We will be doing a hotel and I wanted to know how the taxis situation like. I made an itinerary of traveling from activities we will be doing each day but like we would need to take like 3 taxis most days to get around.

This is a great question! Cash or debit/credit is fine. Always keep some cash though because the last day of my trip electricity went out on the island for a little and it affected the card swipe machines.

How much cash would you suggest to take for about 5 days?

@ShaniceG Жыл бұрын

Its hard to give an estimate. It really depends on if you have the excursions you want to do booked ahead of time. If you do, the most you would need $$ for is getting around and food. I would $500-600. You most likely won’t spend all (especially if you’re also taking a credit card) but that’s a safe estimate.
