St. John is much more secluded but the ritz will be nicer than the Westin. The Westin has been transformed into a timeshare property so all hotel rooms are now basically studio apartments. I've been to the Westin 5+ times and I love it, but the ritz will definitely be more luxurious.

Also, remember to check out the resort fees. Basically ruin any point stays

For beaches, St. John is better! Definitely smaller than St. Thomas though. Westin is close to the little town part. Look into Caneel Bay Resort for something romantic/secluded with a really good restaurant.

@E1 there is ongoing construction but it has absolutely zero impact on the experience. They just redid the pool area and that is now open. They're working on some of the buildings, but the way the hotel is designed, each building is very secluded from all other buildings so you won't hear much if any noise

I love St. John. Small, secluded and virgin beaches. So I tend to prefer the Westin there. Although there are nicer Westin resorts, this one isn't bad. Construction hasn't affected any amenities. Restaurants are so-so. Pool and the bay side is serene. I rent snorkel gear and a car for a day from the hotel and start exploring the island. Done it twice, yet I'd love to do it more.

Caneel bay restaurant is awesome. There's also a really good Italian restaurant and the chef will come cook in house

How big is the event? Is it just you/SO? Waterfront bistro is great and is right on the water. Extra virgin is also really really good. Virgin fire has a good atmosphere but not romantic. Zozos at cancel bay is very good and I've heard good things about asolare but have never been

I heard there is ongoing construction at the Westin, has anyone been there recently?

@A1,Z1 any restaurant recommendations for special events? Heading there in April for our wedding anniversary

Thank you both! It's just my wife and I. We have made reservations at Asolare but will look at the other ones you mentioned. Thanks again!
