A good longtime friend of mine invited to his wedding in St. Thomas this summer. I looked at flights and they are very reasonable from the east coast, so I plan on attending for sure.
I'm not actually "in the wedding" so I'll have to look into my own accommodations.
Does anyone have any data on St. Thomas? This wedding is going to be fly as hell so I'm sure I'll find a lot of targets ripe for swooping. Other than that, I'd be interested in knowing what else St. Thomas has to offer.
Any data on good hotels/restaurants/clubs/bars/etc. would be much appreciated. Keep it thorough.
Thanks

Best hotel on the island easily is the Ritz-Carlton there is nothing else in the same league on St Thomas. The Red Hook area is the main hub for nightlife and shopping.
ST. Thomas is a great place if you like to fish, enjoy beaches or if you looking for some place to take the old lady, but as a swooping destination it leaves a lot to be desired. The local talent is severely lacking in quality. That just leaves the tourists and the vast majority come from the Northeastern part of the States. So you're going to be dealing primarily with loud, flip flop wearing Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mass broads. They congregate at Duffy's Love Shack and at the Fat Turtle.

I was in St. Thomas over Christmas. You get a lot of tourist during the day because of the cruise ships, but you have to act fast because the ships leave at night. There is a senor frogs with a swimming pool.
My girlfriends mom is Dominican and I went to visit her. I felt like I was back in the DR. There are lots of Dominicans working in St Thomas. You just have to ask the taxi cab driver when the Dominicans girls are.

Thanks for the intel fellas. This forum is mad global.
I think this wedding in St. Thomas will be a slam dunk. Looking forward to it.
