The studio villas are located in the part of the Westin property known as the "hill villas". They are "hill villas" because they are located on a hillside overlooking the main Westin resort area where the main pool, the beach and the restaurants are located.   This location provides impressive views of Grand Cruz Bay from the villa balconies and views to the west for great sunsets.  Each hillside villa building is adjacent to a 600 sq ft pool with a waterfall equipped with chaise lounges, floats, umbrella tables and gas grilles --- the view from the pool is very photogenic -- a great spot for a quiet morning, afternoon or evening.  If you want a more lively pool scene, you can go down the hill to the resorts main pool of 1/4 acre.  The main resort area is an approximate 8-minute walk -- or you can use the free "iguana" trolley that comes every 15 minutes and goes to every area of the resort.

The studio villas are approximately 600 sq ft and comfortably sleep 4.  A crib or roll-away can be added for a fifth person in a pinch.  In addition to the standard villa amenities, each studio villa has a sleeping area with a California king bed equipped with the Westin "Heavenly Bed" sleep system of high quality mattress, linens, pillow and duvet.  The sleep area is partitioned from the rest of the villa to provide some extra privacy and has a color TV.  The bath is equipped with a tub and shower.   The balcony is furnished and is a great spot for breakfast or a romantic evening cocktail overlooking Great Cruz Bay.   If you are an early riser, bring your binoculars and you can often see cruise ships positioning themselves for an early morning entry into the St Thomas harbor.

There is also a large color TV in the living room area with a Bose sound system/DVD player as well -- so bring your favorite CDs and DVDs.

There is a fully equipped kitchen -- so you can dine in or out.     We haven't done it yet, but Mary says you could cook a turkey dinner in the villa kitchens.
