Book a Hotel near Bolongo Bay, St. Thomas

1st class all the way. As far as resorts go its top notch

The property was beautiful though they should rake the beach area! Food and staff were excellent! My only dislike about the hotel was the shower in the room! No water pressure!! Otherwise I highly recommend this hotel!

This property is basically in the middle of the island. It has many close restaurants and shops nearby.

Our room was 3 br 3 bath! Perfect for our family of 6. Great place for families/kids. Limited dining options, no fine dining, nightclub, spa etc. beach super rocky but beautiful with good snorkeling, swim area and awesome floating mats we all loved. Breathtaking panoramic views. Nice gym. Tons of stairs (elevators) because buildings climb up mountain. WARNING: taxis are ridiculous! We broke down and rented car because couldn’t walk anywhere and charge at least $6/person one way to even 5 mins away, $100 for one way Airport which is only about 15-20 mins. THE HOTEL RRALLY SHOULD HAVE A SHUTTLE SERVICE TO DOWNTOWN AND AIRPORT WITH SUCH POOR TAXI SERVICE- will definitely be a consideration in whether we return.

Leah and Gunnar are awesome! They are informative, helpful and make sure you have everything you need to make it a great vacation. Staying at Villa Marbella made our trip so convenient and really enhanced our enjoyment of the island. Easy beach access, great pool, beautiful views. Cruzan View room was exactly as pictured and expected. Patio was great for morning coffee and evening drinks. Don’t hesitate to book. We will stay again on our next island visit!

We first visited Bluebeard's in February of 2007 and fell in love with the quaint comfort of this resort. It isn't the Ritz, but we don't pay $400 per night either - the beach is beautiful - the rooms are adequate with kitchens, bathroom, sleeping area, sitting area and balcony. Every room overlooks the ocean and wonderful grounds. There is a swim up bar where you can get awesome Bushwhackers while enjoying a tropical paradise from the comfort of your submerged bar stool. Yes, there are iguanas, but you will find them everywhere in St. Thomas, if you don't like them, don't go to the tropics. Yes there are cats, the resort allows the Humane Society to put out food and fresh water daily for the cats, in return, the Humane Society provides TNR (trap, neuter, release) services and feeds the animals, and the cats have all but eliminated any rodents that one might find along the ocean - without using poisons - a valuable service. The resort is a timeshare and we bought there after our first visit - since then, we've purchased a second week. The rooms in Bldgs A&B are scheduled for renovation this fall - and the rest will be done next year. I don't know why people get so uptight about the rooms, we use them to sleep and shower - the rest of the time, we're on the beach or at the pool or visiting one of the hundreds of beautiful beaches in the USVI. None of the rooms have carpeting so I'm not sure what one of the previous posters was talking about. Some tips: rent a car - driving on the left is easy once you get used to it. Visit St. John, you can take the ferry over for $50 r/t for the vehicle and everyone in it (not Hertz but all other rentals allow you to go to STJ). The Island Market has decent food - we just buy enough for our two weeks and make breakfast and sandwiches in the room to take to the beach. We use the grill area to make supper at least 2 or 3 nights - the rest we go out to eat. St. Thomas is a beautiful island and our slice of Paradise - I can't wait to go back in February - only 150 days away!
