Since there are very few street names here it will be difficult to get directions. I would call Bluebeard's and ask for directions. Or you can email me and I will mail you a map of the island which has the hotels marked.

Hello Kathleen,

I pulled out a map so that I could give directions using the street numbers. In general we don't use steet numbers but rather give directions using locally excepted street names and landmarks. I am doing a combo... Ok here goes:

Leaving the airport you get on Airport Road which is 302; you will have hotels/beach on your right and the airport on your left. At the stop light you will want to turn right onto Moravian Highway or 30 which will lead you into Charlotte Amalie, where the same road is called Veterans Drive... the harbor will be on your right once in town... shops on your left. Follow 30 all the way along the water until you arrive at an intersection where you can go right or go left or turn left up a hill (a bit of a blind corner so pay attention). After the turn... the first road on the right side leads to Bluebeards.

Bluebeards to Sapphire: Leave Bluebeards the same way you came coming back to the intersection. At the intersection stay left; a short drive you will be at a stop light where you will turn right unto Sugar Estate Road... you will pass a post office on the left and then see the hospital also on the left. Approach the stop light where you will want to turn left up Raphune Hill... (you should see McDonalds in a shopping area on your right while at the stop light and making the left turn up the hill) this becomes 38 or Weymouth Rhymer Highway... follow 38 all the way to Sapphire. After several minutes of driving on 38 you will pass Tutu Park Mall on your left and Banco Popular & First Bank on your right... shortly thereafter you will see Tillett Gardens on your right... there is a stop light/intersection - you are turning right at the stop light. You should pass a firestation on the left and then a church also on your left... you will be at the top of a hill just after the church and then you'll go down the other side of the hill into Smith Bay... follow 38 passed some residential areas, an Art Gallery with a big Iguana in the parking lot, a couple hotels (like Point Pleasant and Wyndham Sugar Bay - both will be on your left), some sparsely developed areas and then you will arrive at Sapphire, which will be on your left.
