We really enjoyed our stay at Island View Guesthouse. The view from the room, pool, and eating areas was fabulous. The food at breakfast and the dinner we ate was delicious. We did have an issue with hot water and housekeeping but otherwise it was a good time.

Our stay at Island View was amazing. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to visit St. Thomas. The view is incredible and the experience is private, unique, and intimate. The staff are all incredibly nice and helpful - they assisted us with everything from providing extra towels to scheduling taxis for excursions at the drop of a dime. The breakfast was cooked fresh every morning and dinner at the steakhouse was fantastic. Marshal came out and talked to us about how he prepared each dish after our meal which was fascinating. For anyone looking for a break from the commoditized and corporate feel of a big hotel chain, go to island view.

Island View Guest House was excellent! We booked our trip a little late so there weren’t many options but we are not disappointed with them at all. The Christmas dinner menu was top notch. The taxi they recommended was the best we used.

The room was quaint and clean. The air-conditioning worked great (they have a split-pack which worked great). The staff was super nice. The owner is the chef and the food is delicious. We also met him and he is super nice. The views are incredible. The drive is different, you drive on the left side, and the roads are very steep. Overall our stay was great.

Island Guesthouse is a beautiful property. The view is spectacular. The rooms are clean. The staff was great. The evening meal in the restaurant was exceptional. I chose this facility because of the consistently great reviews. I was not disappointed. I do have some suggestions though. Breakfast needs variety and it would be great to accommodate various diets. The patio chairs should be higher so one can see over the banister. Firm pillow options would be great too. I loved it here. I would definitely recommend it.
