TDY Gouge - St. Thomas

St. Thomas, USVI- Marriott Frenchman's Reef Resort (340.776.8500 / FAX 340.715.6192) was a palace! Alliance Aviation is the current contract FBO at St Thomas. They offer excellent all-around support. WX and flight plan filing for outbound leg is available via 1-800-WXBRIEF [flight service]. We encountered no delays. Islander Taxi service (Delita Parsen 1-340-774-4077, FAX 1-340-776-1328) was used for transportation and provided excellent service. The Frenchman's Reef resort is about a 20 minute ride from the airport. All around, this is a fantastic resort. Per diem more than covered the somewhat pricey meal/drink tab. To book more than 9 rooms you'll need to go through the sales office (1-340-776-8500, ext 6403). However, with 9 or less rooms, booking rooms is simplified. The government rate the hotel offered was significantly below the maximum lodging rate paid by the Air Force.
