Shockingly, it looks like they wont be done by late March.....
Dear Westin St. John Owner,
The continuing reconstruction efforts of The Westin St. John Resort Villas remain on track for the planned reopening Jan. 4, 2019, as previously communicated. Teams are working diligently to restore your Home Resort, ensuring the same quality standards you’ve come to expect.
While overall construction timelines are anticipated to be met, we do foresee some delays within the Virgin Grand Phase in buildings 33, 34, 41 and 42. To preserve your 2019 vacation reservation at your Home Resort, we have taken measures to secure accommodation in an alternative villa/phase for your scheduled arrival. Please expect receipt of your new reservation confirmation in the same villa type* you have reserved along with a copy of the cancellation of your existing reservation within 10 to 14 business days.
If you are not going to be vacationing at your Home Resort in the 2019 Use Year, the following alternatives are available:
- Through the Vistana Signature Network™ (VSN), you can reserve a stay at The Westin St. John Resort Villas for a later date in 2019 or at one of the other 21 villa resorts in the VSN collection, based on availability. Log on to vistana.com to reserve online.
- Request StarOptions® banking for your 2019 Use Year (valid for use through Dec. 31, 2021).
- Request assignment of your Week or Points Use Right with the full trading power of your Home Resort with Interval International® for use through Dec. 31, 2021. While there is no fee to assign your Week or Points Use Right, at the time you initiate a vacation exchange request, Interval will collect its current exchange fee.
- Convert your week to loyalty points from the Starwood Preferred Guest® program for use at more than 6,500 hotels and resorts across 29 unique brands.
To assist with any inquires or reservations, you may contact The Westin St. John Service Team via email at
