I'm looking to try and get early June 2008 and was wondering what size rooms if any would be most available.

One would think studios, but I don't know.
Yes - studios and 1Bd villas are more numerous. Also, with the BV section opening - I think you will see more ability to excahnge into WSJ.. Unlike the VG villas - BV villas was held to a certain amount of fixed week ownership.
Be aware - they changed the seasons to different week groupings than VG and only have 2 and 3 Bd villas, but the SOs are cheap compared to some other resorts.
Also - I wrote about this before - something more is going on with VG villas than 'meets the eye' - while there is a claim they are difficult to impossible to exchange into - there are many unused and SVO rented villas during our week (24).
I called today to add another date to be waitlisted on .They told me that I need to waitlist for each size unit on each date I request! I didn't know this and there for my first waitlist was for only a 3 bed pool unit. So now the notes were made to reflect each unit size on 4 different dates.That would be 16 waitlists for St John far! The first time I called the operator told me I was # 5 on the waitlist when I called today ( I spoke to 2 different oprs.) they tell me they can't see my waitlist number? thats another dept. Now I'm on a mission
Called again this morning .Waitlisted yet another date.Interesting that it was busy on the lines I was on hold for 10 minutes today was the fiirst time this happened so 6/14 must be a heavely requested date.I asked about Princevllie Studios are availableTheir trying to push Cancun lots of availabilty there.Operator also told me Aruba is not bookable till 2010.
Got on the waitlist for June 15. I'm now waitlisted for five different dates for next June.
We can travel anytime early June through end of August as well as one week mid-October, but I'm wondering if it would be too hot and humid during some of those times. We would only do light hiking as we have small children, so we would mostly be hanging around the resort and visiting some beaches.
I'd like to hear from some of you with more experience visiting the Caribbean. Should I try for July/August or just keep my fingers crossed for June? We'd love to visit St John, but not if it is miserably hot.
Thanks
