We liked coming into Coral Bay for the restaurants and grabbing a few items at Lily's Gourmet Store. Stay east of Coral Bay on Privateer Bay the drive was interesting, views were to die for and the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay was nonexistent.

On both trips to St John we've stayed in Coral Bay on the east end of St John. It's much quieter and relaxing and the views are beautiful. There are plenty of good restaurants to satisy you palate.

Coral Bay isn't for everybody. If you like lots of restaurant choices and the nightlife and convenience of Cruz Bay - then Coral Bay probably won't be your choice. I like relaxing after a long day at the beach! lol And Coral Bay is perfect. The views from lots of the villas are crazy - looking down the BVIs. There... More

Have rented villas in Coral Bay area 4X: we bring carry-on bags to save time @STT since you can wear casual clothing w/o extra items & purchase suntan lotion (some villas supply shampoo/etc). Love being on hill looking out to glimmering sea (and sunrise) & gorgeous views of other islands--serence. Most villas reachable on paved roads w/just last few min... More

the views cannot be beat. There isn't much to do, there aren't many restaurants and those that are here are relaxed, open air eateries. Just my style! just have to know the web sites make things out to be a little better than they are. The roads are often rough, there are donkeys and sheep on the roads, the roosters... More

Great day on St. John. Started with a hike up Bordeaux Mountain and then snorkeling at Lameshur. Saw a stingray, nurse shark, squid, +++. Dip in the pool and lovely dinner.

Coral Bay is more quiet than Cruz Bay but offers beautiful beaches and wonderful eateries like Miss Lucy's, Concordia and Skinny Legs. Nice snorkeling and the beaches aren't as crowded.

Hey all, we just returned from a wonderful week at Slice of Life on Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. I highly recommend it for a couple looking for a comfortable, well built place to stay. Situated on a hillside with breezes most of the time, you see the sun rise each morning, and are serenaded to sleep by the birds... More
