Have you been to The Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Lucia, St. John, St. Croix) lately? Would love some recommendations for places to stay, and activities. Also, tips for cheap flights pls.

Great place to ask this. On Fishbowl and in a Chicago Bow.

St Lucia is not part of the Virgin Islands (US or British). That said, If you’re going to the USVI don’t expect five stars - fine hotels but it’s definitely ‘island’ service. Look at Buoy Haus or the Ritz on St Thomas or the Westin on St John. However, I think you’ll walk away feeling you overpaid. On flights, maybe Spirit if you want cheap? I think they still fly there. The majors fly there but you will pay.

Go to Baha Mar instead

It's hard to answer this question without knowing what you want to do there. I love St Thomas for just chilling at the beach and buying jewelry. You can also hop a ferry and go to St. John so more bang for your buck I suppose. St. Lucia (not Virgin Islands) is more my speed for kayaking, hiking, more physical activities.

I will be there sprinkling my dad’s ashes, and was hoping for some recs/highlights from someone who has been there lately to make the trip feel less grim, heavy and sad.

Perhaps Long Island or Staten Island is more your vibe.

I visited some of those places for few hours during a cruise.. So.... cannot help you there...
