Don't expect friendly service

My husband and I enjoyed the beautiful view from our balcony. The beach was gorgeous and the water was very calm. The size of the room was nice, but the a/c was extremely loud. The sheets and pillows grossed me out, so I slept on towels! The bathroom was good size. The restaurant was good but VERY pricey. Hotel service was okay. Most locals are not the friendliest so don't expect the red carpet. Overall, we loved all of the island's beaches but don't think we'd go back.

Rent a car.

Days Inn close to the airport. Not such a great value hotel after all...service at the bar was terrible. Pool was not kept well...dirty- sand and leaves at the bottom. Room was bug ridden. Hard to fall asleep bec of the bug bites. Bed sheets were subpar and dingy. Would not recommend to anyone.

Traveler's tip:

Lotus and Havana Blue are excellent restaurants. Also try Oceana for fish seafood and great ambiance.

hotel in need of maintence

although this hotel had a fantastic beach and the staff was friendly, it need a real face lift. The room was cleaned daily but it needed a good paint job, the paint in the bathroom was actually peeling. The sheets didn't even fit our bed. The restuarant at the hotel was very pricey.

Traveler's tip:

we would recommend renting a car. The taxis are very expensive. It doesn't take to long to get used to driving on the opposite side of the street. Just becareful in the intersections.

Cheaper Hotels for a reason. Beach Front Yes (beautiful) Needs up grades.

Look went there for my honeymoon. the Travel Channel referred it as a hotel with great views (beach front) The rooms at first looked clean. But we found ants (little) ones all over our bathroom sink and breakfest bar. Air broke once and the power went out another time during our stay. The staff mainly made up of locals. Some where nice and some did not care and it showed. Young people running the front desk and some just did not understand in my opinion how to make you feel welcomed. More like it was just there summer job or internship. The hotel is beach front for real. I showed up at night and could not see the view. When we woke up and seen the views it felt great. Just a few steps to the beach. Almost like it was your own private beach? Staff did not bother you but they did not make you feel welcomed either. also taxi's will try and rip you off with there fee. 0.2 miles from the airport. cost us 12.00 dollars.

Traveler's tip:

The only time it is duty free is when ships are not in port. Most jewelery place use sales reps not jewelers. must negotiate to get a good price. Dinning : strongly recommend the GREEN HOUSE, and YAHCT HAVEN they have three nice places (FAT TURTLE)(Wickked)(Grand Cru) to eat and drink on the water.more of a good time if that is what you are looking for. Save on taxi fees. Also, the saffarri offers the same ride as taxi's but for 2.00 dollars

Cannot beat the views from your balcony!

We had a great time at this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. You can't beat the views from your balcony or the beachfront bar. Sometimes we had to track down towels for our room, or someone to unlock the beach chairs, but no big deal in the grande scheme of things. Overall, I am impressed with this resort and would visit it again.

Traveler's tip:

There is a store within walking distance of the hotel where you can get breakfast food to keep in your room to save a few bucks!

Nice place to stay

The room was nice, but needed some minor cosmetic maintenance. The restaurant dinner menu was limited mainly to Italian cuisine. The beach bar and restaurant staff were friendly and very good. The ambience was amazing with the white sand beach, the breezes, and the beautiful blue water. The manager was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Traveler's tip:

The menu was limited at the hotel bar and restaurant, there is one hotel close by with a restaurant and bar and their menu has a wider variety to choose from. You would have to travel by car or taxi to find other restaurants.

Great Beach for swimming and wonderful for those who like a quiet low key place to vacation. Being a fighter pilot I rather enjoyed the aircraft which fly overhead not too many times a day.

Great Beach, Great View, Close to Airport but not a problem. Watch out for the guy trying to charge you for a beach chair. Good value would stay there again.

Traveler's tip:

As for the island, budget a LOT for taxis....

Great Vacation

This hotel is likely the best value on St. Thomas. Gorgeous, calm bay less than 100 feet from your balcony. Room was very comfortable and service friendly. Sea turtles and tropical fish in the water, you might see a crab scurry down the beach, and a pair of iguanas sun themselves daily by the pool. Can't wait to go back.

Traveler's tip:

If traveling with family, rent a car, driving on the left isn't hard. Two or three people can use taxi service for less. Shopping is overwhelming - so many jewelry shops. Know what you want, do your research before you go, and be prepared to say no.
