Thank you! We're planning our vow renewal here and sunset grill is one of the restaurants I was wondering about.
Awww!! Sunset grill was one of my faves. You definitely should try it.
Great video! Thanks for the information!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice video ❤️ I lived on STT for 30 odd years . Next time try "Hook Line and Sinker" located in French Town. Teddy Lutes is the owner. He, his wife and staff will take good care of you and the food is great. 😋
Thank you for the suggestion ❤️
Hook line and sinker is closed. Teddy sold it and the other owners couldn't keep it up
Thank you, that was really informative.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙏🏾
You did great and I love the video ❤️😘😍

I’m planning to go in may . Is there a certain villa or resort you recommend.
We are going in July 2023 with a party of 9. Thank you for your tips and videos.
You’re welcome. Have a fun and safe vacation 💕
The dollar taxi are a good as well..cheaper than normal taxi. Nice experience because you can see the island but you definitely should be close to the main road to get on and off. Great video!
Hi!!! I know this comment is old but I’m heading to st thomas in May and wanted to hear more about the dollar taxi.
There are definitely way more than 2 grocery stores love.
this is a very helpful interesting review. Do you need a negative test when coming back to US main land?
As of right now you do not.
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.
Did yall have to do covid test
We did at the time (2021). I’m pretty sure you don’t need one anymore but you can check out their website to confirm www.visitusvi.com/st-thomas
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.
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
I definitely subbed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏾
Thank you 🫶🏾
Great video. I am planning a girls trip of 6 for the summer. We do not want to rent a car due to driving on the left and the narrow and small roads they have. 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.
Note taxis charge per person per trip $6-$10 for wherever you wanna go ..
You can DM on my Instagram (signedshanice) and I can give you the taxi number we used…we had 13 ppl and only used one van the whole time
Great video. Do we need a Covid test returning back to the mainland?
As of right now, no
informative video, my question is with such a big group yall didnt want to get a catering service for one or two days?
Thank you! Honestly, we should of, but that wasn't a thought we had at the time.
Can I use my state ID to travel only? Or need back up documents ?
State ID Is fine.
Im planning on going, not sure what type of car would be good to be driving around St Thomas. Any recommendations?
I took a taxi while there so I am not sure
How would you recommend us using money on the island? Credit, debit, or strictly cash?
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.
@@ShaniceG thank you!! 😁
You can use U.S. foodstamps out there too.
Wow didn’t even know that
Can you help me go st thomas for my birthday
I’m from Louisiana New Orleans and I have a best friend from Caribbean I really want go there and stay for a month and hopefully find a Caribbean queen 💀
Looks like inclusive resort will be better for us.
Do you have to test to come back to the States since it’s US territory?
I didn’t have to test when I came back last year. I’m not sure if that has changed. You can check the official USVI website for updates. usviupdate.com
Thanks 😊
How much cash would you suggest to take for about 5 days?
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.
Come to Aruba
👑🇻🇮♥️
I think some key things are missing from this video. One is what side of the street they drive on. there are more but I won’t put it in one comment
There are so many beach , why even a pool ?
Can I get a copy of your food suggestions & itenary
Hi, do you have IG? If you write me on there, I can send a picture of the itinerary we used
Do we still need Covid test in 23?
I doubt it. You can check for all updates on their website though. usviupdate.com
If you show them your vaccine card you dont need a negative covid test. I just got back two days ago though. Maybe it has changed since you were there.
I went in the beginning of Sept. so it has probably updated since then.
From what I read, you no longer need to take a Covid test or wear a mask in the USVI
Yeah don’t I went in may
Kids friendly?
I don’t have any kids so I’m not sure but I’m pretty they have things you can do as a family
Fine sista! Your future husband will be a lucky man. bless
Thank you!
👑🇻🇮
How did you fly out ? Seems a bit out the way.
Not at all! I live in NY so I took a nonstop flight straight to St. Thomas
Night life?
We actually didn’t do too much nightlife, so you may have to research that topic
@@ShaniceG thank you
can i get your iteniary?❤
Of course, you can write me on ig (signedshanice) or email me for me to send it
Nice video. Not sure why there was intermittent clicking sounds. Had to stop listening.
damn she talked the hold time show a video next time
Amen Carl, well said
This was an informative video. Not a vlog. She mentioned multiple times that “its on her st.thomas vlog.” Try looking at her st Thomas vlog if you’re searching videos and actual footage of her trip
Hey girl 🥰 i love this video. I messaged you on IG for the taxi information
Hey girl ☺️ thanks for watching. I sent you the info 🫶🏾
