The property could use some updates. No hot water for showers, It was warm at best. Only one restaurant on property. Coffee bar was closed every day they say due to new immigration worries of employees. No Spa on site. Passengers from cruise ship come to property for use of beach since there is no charge and take up a lot of the chairs and nothing is done about it, so the guest of the hotel have limited selection of chairs/where to sit on the beach. Just a heads up for anyone who plans on visiting St. Thomas most of the stores are closed on Sunday and close at 5 PM during the week. Everything is expensive at the hotel and in town. Also, this hotel isn’t that close to any of the activities.

The property itself is nice but there are no elevators so expect to pay or carry your luggage a few flights. Bar tenders look overwhelmed and not friendly. It took over 30 minutes to get acknowledged at the bar to then be told I’d be lucky enough if I got my food in less than 2 hours. Definitely an overpriced resort.

Location was close to the airport but hearing the planes was not an issue since they don't fly during the night. Great beach and pool. Beautiful scenery. Has restaurant and bar so you wouldn't have to go into town unless you wanted too. Not much within walking distance of the hotel so you would need to take a taxi to any off-sight activities. You will need cash for the taxi. Staff very friendly and helpful. Grounds were clean.

Its truly on the beach. However, no elevator makes it hard with luggage on the 3rd flooor. No information in the rooms about amenities available, for example: beach towels. The manager at the restaurant, Amy was amazing!

We loved the view. The maintenance part was main issue. Electric outlets only half worked. For the high price to stay there some of the things were way out dated and damaged.we asked for coffee and creamer every day and half the time no creamer. The restaurant there was awesome and the food was good but Amy the waitress/manager made us feel so special and if something wasn’t perfect she saw to it to make it perfect.

Close to airport and having a room on the beach was great. Food was good although an a la cart menu for breakfast would have been nice. Some of the hotel was in need of repair and having a person look over the beach to pick up left over trash and towels would be great. I would recommend this place for a stay in St. Thomas.
