We arrived after flying all day.... We got to the room to find tiny bugs crawling all over the bathroom. We went to the office & she sent a man with bug spray! At that point, I wasn't going back in there! They relocated us to the room below it...bugs there also!! The man sprayed the bathroom & we kept nothing in there. We ended up keeping everything in our luggage. This was during a busy time so we didn't have many options at this point. They should have offered at least 1/2 of our money back if not all. Would not there again! It needs major updates & felt so dirty! I have photos and videos!

The property itself is in excellent condition, with a prime location within walking distance of the airport, numerous restaurants, shops, and direct beach access. The local staff members from St. Thomas were warm, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the experience. However, I was disappointed with the demeanor of the manager, an older woman who was consistently curt, unapproachable, and lacked the hospitality expected at a resort. Additionally, I was surprised that the resort did not incorporate reggae music at the bar, restaurant, or beach area. The Caribbean is known for its vibrant culture, and the absence of this staple made the atmosphere feel less authentic. Another opportunity for improvement would be adding beachside drink service to enhance the guest experience. Overall, while the resort has strong potential with its beautiful property and ideal location, the operations and management could benefit from improvement. I would stay here again now that I know what to expect, but for travelers seeking top-tier customer service, this may not be the best fit. If your priority is a clean, safe, and beachfront stay, this property meets the mark.

Great location to the airport for one night stay

After checking in and receiving our room key in the furthest building from the lobby, our key did not work for our room twice the second time we were given a key to open the door. It was actually to somebody’s room who is occupying it already Yikes!!! We have stayed at this resort many times. It is perfect for a one night stay before moving onto St. John. Yes, It’s a little tired, but our beds were clean and the beach is an extra. Our bartender did a great job he was definitely hustling to keep people well served. I do expect the island time service on the island but at least eye contact from your waitress or waiter in the restaurant would be greatly appreciated just knowing that they acknowledge that you’re there. This resort is a gem, but is definitely in need of a refresher.

If you're looking for peace and quiet- this is not the place. Jet ski's and music all day and into the evening. The rooms are outdated and pieced together with many notices to lock doors, use the safe, etc. The showers weren't good either- dramatic temperatures and water went everywhere due to design. I'm not sure how this ranked a 4 star. On the plus side- there is a ton of shallow water, the view from the room is pretty and overlooks the ocean, and the bed was comfy. The people were nice and helpful. I wouldn't choose this location again- mostly because of the noise and lack of sealife/ snorkelling opportunity.

Lovely beach close to the airport, the hotel rooms were clean.lovely view and the sound of the ocean was very relaxing. Despite proximity to the Airport It was not too disturbing. The staff were wonderful. we quickly learned to slow down . dining area frequently only had 2 staff , but food was lovely when it arrived. On Wednesday and Thursday big cruise days a lot of extra people came to the beach and It became louder. Hotel has frequent short stays due to people going to other Islands or staying prior to Returning to the 🇺🇸. It was family friendly. The reception staff , were exceptionally helpful and held our bags both in checkin and departure to allow us use the facilities while waiting for our rooms or departure to Airport. Plenty of parking for those who hired cars. Taxi’s available easilly. little public transport. I reccomend this resort for quick get away

Originally in building one and that was terrible, they moved us to building two and much - much better. Do not recommend building one last room ground floor based on the activity next to it. Rentals, smoking right in front of patio and very loud music. Not my idea of relaxation. Overall the resort was nice, clean, and staff very kind and bar atmosphere was nice combo of people but closed too early in the evening. Very friendly staff. Pool was great and the water just beautiful.

This entire trip was a horrible experience and I will NEVER EVER go back to St. Thomas! My husband and I pretty much was getting robbed by the “taxi drivers” they have outside. The hotel says the maximum they’re suppose to charge you a set price per person. Why when you try and get a taxi outside the hotel they double the price. I asked them how is that possible if the hotel has a different price and they wanted to lie to me. Other companies won’t come out because they say they have taxi services out there so they’re pretty much stuck. On Friday night, after we had left the pool area we went to the bar to get drinks. Of course they are helping and servicing the white people, once I approach the bartender they tell me to go to the other bar cause now all of the sudden they can’t make drinks at the bar inside. Liars when I clearly just saw them making drinks 2 mins ago but ok. The next thing was they have bed bugs! My husband and I woke up with bites all over our body’s with pictures to prove it. And the cherry on top was the security that kicked in our door! They thought was were arguing which was actually another room, he kicked in our door. We had the “do not disturb” sign on the door and when my husband when to check who was knocking he had kicked in the door and hit my husband on the head and he had cut my finger due to me trying to unlock the hook from the door! The police was called & a report was made! We are planning to sue their ass!
