Heading to Marriott Frenchman's Reef next week with 6,10,12 year old, what should we abolsultely do/don't do?

Question

Heading to St. Thomas...looking for fun ideas, restraurants, mini excusions. is there anything I should stay away from. Is this a good hotel or not?

Answer 1

Hotel is huge with LOTS of steps!

For a great lunch, go to Gladys' in the Royal Dane Mall--best guacamole and chips I've ever had in my life--we talked about them for the entire time we were there!

Answer 2

The Marriott is a great hotel.  It's been around here for a long time but even today it's still considered quite posh.

I know you'll want to do lots of family activities.  I suggest the following:

1.  Take an excursion on the Atlantis Submarine.

2.  Swim at Magen's Bay Beach.

3.  Ride the Paradise Point Tramway http://www.paradisepointtramway.com

4.  Take the whole family to eat at the Paradise Gate.  They have an arcade there. ;)

5.  There's bumper boats, mini golf and games at the Sugar Bay Beach Resort.

6.  Visit the world famous Mountain Top.  One of the best views on the island.  http://www.greathouse-mountaintop.com/

7.  Stroll through historic downtown Charlotte Amalie.  Lots of great shopping and restaurants.

8. The Coral World Marine Observatory is a must visit! http://www.coralworldvi.com

9.  Take a ferry to St. John and check out Coral Bay, Trunk Bay, the St. John National Park, and the Annaberg Ruins.

10.  Get some of the best local food around at Cuzzin's on Backstreet.

As for what not to do, it's the same as anywhere else you travel:

1.  Always arrange for travel.  The concierge at the Marriott will take care of you.

2.  Stay out dark alleys and deserted areas.  Traveling in groups is recommended.

3.  Relax!  The pace of life is a bit slower here.

4.  Make sure you always great a local with good morning, good afternoon and good night.

Hope you have lots of fun visiting us!

Answer 3

In 2006, there were 44 total homicides - 23 on St. Thomas and 21 on St. Croix - of which four were ruled justifiable, according to Daily News homicide statistics.

      The 2007 total means the territory remains one of the most violent places under the American flag.

      The Virgin Islands homicide rate per capita is 42 homicides for every 100,000 residents. The national rate is 5.5 slayings per 100,000 residents.
