Summary: A must-read if you're planning to visit St. Thomas
Review: I purchased and read this book before our trip to the US Virgin Islands, and I am very glad I did! Pamela Atcheson has compiled an extremely informative book on things to do, places to eat, where to shop, etc. Thanks to her advice, we dined happily every night, visited St. John via the ferry (a highlight of the trip), and made some unique purchases. Plus, it was fun to find places I had read about while I was planning our trip!This book is everything you need in one resource.

Summary: Disappointed with description for Caneel Bay Resort
Review: I was orignally booked at the Westin in St. John. Since this book described the Westin as "busy and bustling" with children and families. I opted for Caneel Bay which was much more expensive because of the the review in this book which described Caneel Bay as quiet and romantic. I can only assume that since this book was published, Caneel now encourages children. Unfortanately it cost me $7000 to discover this!

Summary: Best of St. Thomas and St. John
Review: This book helped me find several great LOCAL bars and restaurants, which really made my trip more fun! If you use Fodor's or Frommer's to plan your trip to the Virgin Islands, you should definitely supplement your research with this smaller, more personal book. You'll find that it contains different descriptions and insider tips on hotels and restaurants than the larger guides. You'll also find that almost all of the information is still up-to-date in 2002, especially for St. John (things don't change as fast there as they do in other places). Have a great trip!

Review: This book needs to be updated. The St. John Inn was hardly an elegant, intimate little inn. We were so disappointed we hunted down alternature accommodations. However, the "Inn" still charged us.

Summary: For New Comer's
Review: This book provides very basic information on St. Thomas and limited information on St. John. The 1st timer to these islands may find this information helpful, however, most of what is included can be found in other sources which are readily available elsewhere. Other than the beautiful picture of Trunk Bay on the cover, the book provides no other pictures. Which, in my opinion, is a shame because the real magnificence of these islands would be better conveyed through some select pictures and not just text alone.

Summary: Good info but not always accurate
Review: We recently came back from St Thomas and used "The Best of ..." while I found that there is a lot of good and usefull information in the book I also found that many of the phone numbers and locations were incorrect. This was a bit of a pain, but all in all I found the book most usefull. I would definitely recommend it for the first time visitor. Just use the yellow pages for phone numbers. This text refers to the previous printing of this title.
