First room was noisy with a party outside. Second room was adequate but old and not well maintained. Rusty toilet paper holder. Food was terrible hockey puck veggie burger. Greasy greasy greasy bacon and egg sandwich. Rubbery bagel. Bottled water tasted like mold. Restaurant patrons were loud. Lobby was dark and dingy. Front desk staff was friendly. Restaurant staff was not. If you don’t want to eat. This is a good hotel if you want to get drunk and party on the beach.

The staff was great, check in that day was very busy but the staff remained friendly and professional. The room was a nice size and all face the beach, bed was comfortable, and overall the room was clean. It is an older hotel yet well maintained. The pool is salt not chlorine and I love that. It also goes to 7 feet deep. I do a lot of solo traveling and felt safe on the grounds. I would recommend this resort to anyone traveling to St. Thomas.

We stayed for one night prior to departing home. The resort is in need of significant improvements. Staff were not friendly. Not really family friendly as we had 2 kids. Lots of swearing, smoking, etc. We ate 2 meals in the restaurant that was understaffed and very slow. The exercise room was worthless. The treadmill was not stable and rattled. The other equipment was rusty. No towels or cleaning products. Expected way more for our money. The only positive was the beach was nice. The pool was very dirty.

Staff was amazing, food and drinks were great! The room had bugs, also the heat didn’t work and the shower water wasn’t hot enough. The resort is cashless but they have no ATM on site which makes it difficult to pay for taxis and the taxi prices were different every day

The room is clean and mostly well put together. The entire property is a bit dated and tired from years of heavy use. This is a place you go for a modest cost and phenomenal beach. Food is good, drinks are good and the service is excellent. Bargain for what you get.
