Through the years, its beauty has remained untouched; most of St. John appears as idyllic and pristine as it did when Christopher Columbus and his crew first sighted it about 500 years ago. Its National Park encompasses two-thirds of the island and includes the remains of the Annaberg Sugar Plantation, another famed island attraction.

The island owes much of its preserved natural beauty to the philanthropy of American financier Laurance Rockerfeller. In the 1950s, he made extensive donations of land to the Federal Government to help establish the Virgin Islands National Park. Today, the park protects two-thirds of St. John, including 5600 acres of offshore marine areas. The awesome beauty of the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John will leave you breathless.

Many Caribbean islands claim to provide a bonanza for water-sports enthusiasts, but in fact, few have such superlative scuba diving and snorkeling as offered on the waters surrounding the island of St. John. If one water sport is king on St. John, it is snorkeling. Most first-timers head for the famed underwater trail at Trunk Bay, just a ten-minute drive from the St. John Inn.

If you choose to get your exercise on land, you'll find over 20 miles of hiking trails in the National Park. Tennis is also available on the public courts in Cruz Bay, just a couple minutes' walk from the St. John Inn.

Shopping, dining, nightlife, and the ferry dock for the ride to St. Thomas, are within a 10 minute walk from the Inn; so leave your license at home and make your reservations today.

"The old Cruz Inn, the budget staple for the island was reincarnated into the St. John Inn. Accomodations have a light airy California feel, this is truly an inviting nest." -Frommer's 2000-

"This inn not only offers a convenient location, but also affordable accomodations with a touch of charm." -Fodor's 2001-
