Prince Taxi USVI ST.Thomas Airport transfer to Westin
Arrive in St. Thomas without the usual airport scramble. Prince Taxi offers a private, air-conditioned ride from Cyril E. King Airport to The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa, with a driver waiting by the airport entrance under your name. I like the simple door-to-door plan, and I like that the service is private for up to six people rather than shared with strangers.
The reported service is also punctual, responsive, and handled by clean vehicles. Prince Amir earns special praise for his friendly service and useful island knowledge. The main drawback is the fixed price of $135 per group, which may feel high for one or two people on a roughly 25-minute ride.

From Cyril E. King Airport to The Westin
![]()
This is a transfer rather than a sightseeing tour, and that distinction matters. You are not signing up for island stops, beach visits, or a narrated drive. You are booking a private ride from the airport at Cyril E. King Airport to The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa at 5 Estate Bakkeroe.
The stated duration is about 25 minutes. That is an estimate, not a guarantee, but it gives you a useful planning window. Your flight arrival, baggage collection, airport activity, and road conditions can all affect the actual timing.
The direct format is the main appeal. Once you leave the airport, your group is headed to the resort rather than sharing the vehicle with other arrivals. That can save time and reduce the small stress of working out transport after a flight.
You also avoid needing to find a taxi on arrival. The company says it will contact you through the email address or phone number supplied with the booking. The driver waits in front of the airport with a sign showing the passenger’s name, which gives you a clear way to identify the pickup.
For a first arrival in St. Thomas, that meeting arrangement is useful. Airports can feel confusing when you are carrying bags and looking for an unfamiliar driver. A name sign gives you one simple task: find the correct person and vehicle.

What the airport pickup is really like
![]()
The pickup process is built around advance contact. Make sure the phone number and email attached to your booking are current, since those are the stated ways the company reaches you.
At the airport, look for the driver in front of the terminal with your name displayed. The information does not specify an exact doorway, lane, or meeting sign, so you should rely on the company’s contact instructions and keep your phone available.
The ride includes private transportation and an air-conditioned vehicle. Those are basic features, but they are important after a flight. You can get into a cool car with your own party and head directly to the resort instead of sorting out transport at the curb.
The company’s strongest service praise centers on punctuality and communication. Prince Amir is also singled out for clean cars and useful information about the island. That does not promise that every ride will be identical, but it gives you a good reason to value the human side of the service, not just the transfer itself.
One practical point: the available information does not describe luggage capacity, child seats, flight monitoring, or a formal waiting-time policy. If your group has bulky bags, special equipment, or a delayed flight, ask Prince Taxi about those details before you travel.
The 25-minute ride and what you should expect
![]()
The route is meant to be efficient. The listed start is Cyril E. King Airport, and the listed end is The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa. No sightseeing stops are included, so you should think of the trip as a comfortable connection between those two points.
A private transfer gives you control over the pace of the arrival. You do not need to wait for other passengers to locate their bags or finish checking in. You also do not need to make a separate stop at another hotel.
That makes the service especially appealing if you are arriving with family, friends, or a small group. Six people can share the $135 fare, which works out to $22.50 per person if the vehicle is full. For two people, the same ride costs $67.50 each, so the value is less compelling than it is for a larger party.
The 25-minute estimate is also helpful for people coordinating resort plans. You can use it as a rough guide when thinking about check-in, dinner, or a scheduled activity. Still, do not treat it as an exact arrival promise. The provider gives an approximate duration, and the information does not include a traffic guarantee.
The drive itself is not presented as a formal island introduction. If your main goal is to get to The Westin cleanly and privately, that is a strength. If you want a narrated tour or scenic stops, you would need to arrange a different service.
Why a private group ride can be worth $135
![]()
The price is $135 per group, with up to six people included. This is not a per-seat fare, so the math improves as your party gets larger.
For six people, the cost is reasonable for a private airport-to-resort connection. Your party can split the fare while keeping the convenience of a dedicated vehicle. For three people, the cost is $45 each. For two, it becomes a premium airport transfer.
The value comes from more than the drive time. You are paying for advance coordination, airport pickup, a named meeting arrangement, private transportation, and a direct hotel drop-off. You are also paying to avoid the uncertainty of finding a ride immediately after landing.
That said, you should compare the cost with your priorities. A solo passenger or couple focused mainly on the lowest possible fare may not see enough benefit in a private vehicle. A family with luggage, or a group of friends arriving together, may find the fixed price much easier to justify.
The service has an average booking lead time of 37 days. That suggests many people arrange it well before arrival, especially when airport transport is part of a larger resort holiday. You do not need to assume that booking exactly 37 days ahead is required, but arranging the ride early can help you lock in the plan before your travel date.

The Westin drop-off at Estate Bakkeroe
![]()
The listed destination is The Westin St. Thomas Beach Resort & Spa, 5 Estate Bakkeroe, St. Thomas 00801, USVI. The service is designed to drop you at the hotel you have selected, not at a general town center or a nearby public transport point.
That hotel-specific destination is useful when you are arriving with luggage and want to begin your stay without another connection. The information does not specify the exact resort entrance or bell desk procedure, so the driver’s role should be understood as getting you to the hotel property.
The transfer ends at the resort. Check-in, luggage handling, and any resort arrangements are separate from the taxi booking. Keeping that boundary clear helps you know what the $135 covers.
The service also lists public transportation nearby, but it does not describe routes, fares, or schedules. Consider that a general accessibility note rather than part of the transfer itself.
Service quality: punctuality, clean cars, and Prince Amir
![]()
The most encouraging details concern reliability. The service is praised for being punctual and honest, qualities that matter more than fancy extras when you are trying to get from an airport to a hotel.
Prince Amir is specifically praised for his service, clean cars, and helpful information about St. Thomas. If he is assigned to your ride, you may get more than a basic point-to-point connection. You might also receive useful local orientation during the drive.
Keep that expectation in proportion. The transfer is not sold as a guided island tour, and the information does not promise a set commentary or a particular driver for every booking. The strongest conclusion is that personal service is part of the company’s appeal, while the exact experience can depend on who operates your ride.
The clean-vehicle point is worth noting. After air travel, a well-kept, air-conditioned car can make the first part of your holiday feel easier. It is a small comfort, but one you notice quickly in a warm destination.
Who should book this St. Thomas transfer?
![]()
I would consider this service a good match for several types of visitors:
- Families who want a private ride after landing.
- Groups of friends who can divide the $135 fare.
- Anyone who prefers a named airport pickup over finding transport on arrival.
- Guests carrying luggage who want a direct trip to The Westin.
- First-time visitors who value a driver familiar with the island.
- People who want a simple booking with confirmation provided at once.
It may be less suitable for a solo passenger or couple whose only concern is paying the lowest fare. The fixed group price makes the most sense when several people share it.
It may also be the wrong choice if you want a full sightseeing experience. No island stops, tour narration, or extra activities are included in the information provided. This service does one job: airport to resort transportation.
Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. The activity is private, so only your own group takes part. Those details make it flexible for a wide range of arrivals, though you should still ask ahead about any specific mobility or luggage needs not covered in the booking information.
Booking, changes, and cancellation
![]()
Confirmation is provided at the time of booking. The company also uses your email or phone number to communicate about the pickup, so check those details carefully before submitting the reservation.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. You receive a full refund under that rule. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start time, the payment is not refunded, and changes made inside that same 24-hour window are not accepted.
The cutoff follows local St. Thomas time. That is worth remembering if you are arranging the transfer from another time zone.
I would save the booking confirmation and keep the contact information accessible on arrival day. The named sign system should make the meeting easier, but good communication depends on the company having the right phone number and email address.
Should you book Prince Taxi to The Westin?
Book it if you want a private, straightforward airport connection and can share the $135 price with a group. The named pickup, air-conditioned car, direct resort drop-off, and strong praise for punctual service make it a sensible choice for a low-stress arrival.
For one or two people, look closely at the cost before committing. You are paying for convenience and privacy, not a tour or a bargain fare. I would also contact the company in advance if you need special luggage arrangements, a child seat, flight-delay assistance, or a precise pickup procedure.
For a group of up to six headed to The Westin, this transfer offers solid practical value. It gets the important first step right: someone is waiting, your group rides together, and you arrive at the resort without having to solve transportation on the curb.
