The Experience

So you land at St Thomas and the last thing you want is to stand around negotiating with a stranger about the drive to your hotel. That's where this one saves you. Your driver from Paradise Taxi & Tours meets you outside baggage claim — they'll have a digital sign with your name on it, or they'll text you when you land, depending on how the airport construction is flowing that day. It's a small airport, so things move fast once you're through customs.

The ride to Margaritaville Vacation Club and Resort runs about 30 to 35 minutes depending on where you're coming from and what traffic looks like. The vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters in the Caribbean heat, and the driver knows the island — they're locally based, so they're not following GPS like a rental car would. If you're staying somewhere else on St Thomas instead of Margaritaville, they can take you there too; just let them know when you book. The price is locked in before you arrive, so there's no haggling at the curb.

One thing to know: the airport is under construction right now, which means sometimes drivers get asked to circle around to make room for construction vehicles. They'll text you if that happens and give you a heads-up that the wait might stretch to 10 or 15 minutes. It's not ideal, but it's the reality of landing there at the moment, and at least you're not the one driving around looking for a spot.
