St. Thomas Virgin Island Restaurant Review XO BISTRO
Our food came quickly and the lamb was cooked to perfection. It was served with a side of potato salad which satisfied my husband’s hearty appetite. The half size Greek salad was more than enough for me and was liberally sprinkled with Feta cheese, greek olives and artichokes. Presentation was on white dinnerware and was well thought out. The extensive wine list will please any palate. Daily specials are worth trying.
In 2008 they were voted the best Martini Bar in the Virgin Islands. Evenings are busy here. Once a month they host a woman’s group. Call for details.

"Some of the best scuba diving in the world is in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands"
.jpg)
St. Thomas is a lush, tropical island surrounded by white sandy beaches. Scuba diving and snorkeling in clear turquoise waters is the norm. You can explore the exotic coral reefs and acquaint yourself with the numerous tropical fish. Scuba diving lessons are given in various numbers of sites and they provide scuba diving equipment for you to use. My first scuba diving lesson was in a swimming pool where I learned how to use the scuba diving equipment. Later that same day I chose to take my first dive. Scuba diving in the Virgin Islands is great for beginners to explore a brand new world of not only fish life, but also of exotic reefs. For the experienced scuba diver a dive to the Great Wall of Davis Bay in St.Croix is beautiful, or you can choose one of the other walls to dive; the Salt River Canyon East Wall or Salt River Canyon West Wall. Scuba diving in the Virgin Islands is the best in the world. If you are extremely lucky, like the University Marine Biology students, who were scuba diving you might come across a great treasure. They were able to swim with a whale shark. Personally, my best encounter was snorkeling with an Eagle Ray that was approximately 20 feet wide. I have never seen anything so graceful and still it was so big compared to me. Scuba diving and snorkleling in the Virgin Islands is the best in the world. Being able to see 20 feet or more because the water is so calm and clear is amazing. The Virgin Islands is a great place to explore the wonders of the Caribbean Sea.

"We stayed in this St. Thomas Virgin Islands apartment and had a wonderful week. The owner of the home met us at the airport and we followed him in our rental car. The apartment was clean, secluded, and safe. If you are going to spend your time exploring the islands of St. Thomas and St. John, this is an excellent place to use as a home base. We even loved the drive up the hill to get there. The view from the front porch was definitely worth it! Everything in the kitchenette worked fine and was a huge money saver as the restaurants on St. Thomas are expensive. There are grocery stores and a Kmart reasonable close to the apartment that did have good prices. There is nothing fancy about this place, but it is fully functional and we would stay there again. Another plus about this rental was the owners acceptance of Paypal for payment .Thank you so very much - we had a fabulous time. Your unit is great which met our expectations. We hope that you will have it available next year for our use. When we would certainly plan more then six days. All good things must come to at least a temporary end.”
Thanks again so much. Robin & Barb
More St. Thomas Virgin Island Restaurant Review Bad Ass Coffee
My daughter and I happened to stop at Bad Ass Coffee one day last month and were pleasantly surprised. This is a comfortable place to have a bite to eat. Enjoy coffee and pastry, dessert and juice or soup and sandwich. There is a plasma TV on the wall. We watched the Olympics while we ate our sandwiches. There is a sofa and overstuffed chairs. They have WI FI set up so you can sit and work or just return emails while you have some really good coffee. It is located at Yacht Haven Grande, the newest marina and shopping area on the island of St. Thomas.
Check it out and while you are there shopping at Yacht Haven Grande is a lot of fun and just strolling around is beautiful. Look at the yachts and the activity in the harbor.
