I don't see St. John's in the list. Do the research. It has some of the best scuba and snorkeling around. You can stay in a time-share, The Westin, stay in an eco-park or camp in Cinnamon Bay (here you want cabins # 1, 2, or 3). The view when you wake up is of the water's edge.
You fly into St. Thomas, take a ferry from Charlotte Amalie, or taxie across country to Red Hook and pick up a Ferry, which is a much shorter ferry ride, but, you see where the locals live.
St. John is not over-run with commercial big box hotels, only The Westin.
We've camped ( not the camping you are most likely familiar with) we rented a time-share over looking the island, and we've stayed at the Westin. There a number of "fine" dinning selections. Just don't go in hot months (Ju, Jul, Aug). May or September are better.
Check it out too!
