i have stayed in STT a few times. most recently last year, when i took FI for the first time. it has been my hands-down fave caribbean island for YEARS. the beauty of STT is that you can hop a ferry to St. John for the day (15 min ride) and have a whole other island to explore! the snorkeling is great on BOTH islands. we love to go to Coki beach (it's where the locals can be found...so much charm there), and when we go we stay at the Point Pleasant Resort. It's not for the non-adventurers - it is literally carved into a hill side and you have to hike to get to your condo (we love that kind of stuff!). the views are unbeatable. if you go on VRBO you can book a condo there for relatively cheap ($120/night). BUT - it is not an all inclusive resort. it is NOT a luxary resort either. there are well kept pools and areas to hang out, some great restaurants on-site, etc...but you have to rent a car and def explore other parts of the area (Magean's Bay, Crown Point, Redhook), and def get on over to St. John and check out some of the super amazing beaches there. We hiked about 2 miles to Leinster Bay and did the most amazing snorkeling to date (prob swam/snorkeled an additional 2 miles that day!). If your budget is bigger, I would def look into renting a nice house in STT for the week instead (if you are concerned about luxary accomodations). We did notice a lot of homes for rent with private pools, etc., that may be more geared towards a honeymoon. Also, where the cruise ships come to port there is a lot of good shopping and restaurants...great to go down there in the late day and spend the evening. If you have any questions, PM me! STT is AWESOME! you will def love it!!!
