Dining in St Thomas
Groceries
We have a full kitchen, so feel free to stock up on groceries and use all the convenience of Salty Sway Villas!
You can usually ask your driver to stop at the grocery store on your way in. We usually stop at Moe’s, it’s an upscale market with multiple locations around town. Limetree also has a small market next door, if you need a quick item or two!
In-House Chef Service is also available on the island. We recommend Elite Culinary Concepts VI.
