Can someone who has stayed there in early May season share their experience with the weather - heat, rain and humidity? The resort goes into blue season after April 25.... Are there issues going to Elysian around that time? Thanks.

From what I learnt from ownercare, Worldmark Elysian has units that individual owners own for some of the prime dates and hence the calendar is grey-out on their end (not because other "points" members booked). But they are not fractional units. Can someone clarify how and why this is happening? A clubpass guide also informed me that all units starting Dec 27-2022 also did not have inventory loaded in (when I was calling daily since March 24 -9 months out) and it was not because other Wyndham members or WM clubpass members had booked these units....Confusing....

currently staying at resort. As a 1st time visitor to this resort I am sad to say their check in personnel is sub par. They don't inform you of any activities at the facility unless you ask them several times! Found out later that there is a shuttle every Tuesday to take you downtown for shopping. The beach is small but excellent for children and older adults. The pool area was packed the whole time we were there. Two restaurants on premises. Expect to pay approx. $50.00 each time you eat out (2). No bbq's. No ice buckets in rooms. We did consider renting a car but decided against it due to cost (1200.00) for 10 days. Taxi is what we used. Taxi from airport shared for 2 people - $40.00. To Redhook 7-10 per person each way. Hope this helps. Beautiful island

Following...I have time booked end of October. Also wondering about previous posts regarding bugs, units.

Hey WorldMark, any chance we can get photos of the interior of a room we will actually get instead of photos of an "upgraded" room? I don't appreciate the bait & switch tactics. The room shown on the WM website has an upper bedroom & full kitchen. Something WM owners don't get. Thanks

I would like to know if anyone who has stayed at the resort recently is still experiencing problems with the bugs?
I'm thinking of going next month.
Thank you!

We are planning a trip to St. Thomas in late January and we were just wondering how the resort came thru the Hurricane?

I'm staying here at the Elysian Resort now (31 August 2015), and the bugs are horrible. Definitely pack a couple bottles of bug spray if you're coming here. Without any repellent, I got about 2 dozen bug bites in about 5 minutes the first night before we were chased inside by the swarming mosquitoes. The sand fleas are also pretty bad, but not quite as bad as the mosquitoes.

Also, the beach is really small and private, which is good for families who don't want to be bothered, but if you're looking for socializing, you'll have to go to another beach. The hot tub was over-treated by caustic chemicals that made it unbearable, and the pool was pretty dirty. Being here in the "off-season" the pool bar is only open for a short while on the afternoon, but Sangria's has good food, reasonable prices, and is open later. Still, if you're looking for a party scene, this is not it. You'll have to either taxi or drive a rental to a different beach.

We stayed here for 7 nights and only noticed mosquitoes once when the wind completely died down. We saw mosquitoes at other times, but were never bothered by them. Dengue and Chikungunya are both in this area so remember your repellant in case they do show up (we got bitten and didn't get sick). We didn't notice a problem with sand fleas at any of the beaches but we were usually gone before sunset/dusk. We were there in January, so, not sure if it would be different in July, but it really wasn't a problem for us.

Is a rental car a good idea, or just take taxis? Do you need special insurance like in Mexico?

If you stay on the main roads, the driving wasn't bad. They aren't well marked, though, so it's easy to miss a turn here or there. We tried to "cut through" a neighborhood up in the hills and got caught on some very narrow roads. Once we found the Elysian, it was easy to find REd Hook, the grocery store and the East side beaches.

How was it driving there? Easy to find places and drive on the other side of the road?

There is no shuttle from the airport to the resort. I'm sure you can take a cab. Not sure of the cost. Would probably take about 20-30 minutes to get there from the airport. If you drive and are trying to use a Garmin, it may not recognize the address of the resort. But if you go to Places and Hotels, it was in there (with the correct address!)

We have a vacation booked for WorldMark St. Thomas – Elysian Beach Resort. Does anyone know what is the best way to get from the airport to the resort?
Does the Resort offer a shuttle? What kind of alternate methods of transportation do you suggest?
Thanks
