| The U.S. Virgin Islands are America's foothold in the Caribbean. Here you can experience the caribbean lifestyle or have burgers & fries, just like home. These islands are known for their white sand beaches which attract many visitors. St. John is quietest of all as 2/3rds of this beautiful island is national park. The British Virgin Islands...Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Peter Island and all the little islands in between are also popular tourist destinations...their waters attract sailors from all over the world... but maintain a more "laid-back" reputation. Both the U.S. and British Virgin Islands offer a taste of Caribbean paradise within familiar trappings.
Island Inns specializes in luxury hotels and villas throughout the Caribbean and the Bahamas. |
