The possibilities this place has are endless, but that will never come to fruition due to greed and poor management. The drinks here are way overpriced and barely have any liquor in them. You're talking almost $20 for a pina colada with the 18% gratuity that is included with every drink and meal. Think about how cheap rum is in the Caribbean lol Soooo greedy! The food here is just okay, but you are also paying an arm and a leg for tiny apps with the 18% gratuity included. It's crazy! The sad thing too is that most of the servers if not all have the worst attitudes and work ethic because they don't care due to getting tipped 18% regardless. It's funny to me that you can pay the amount of money you pay to stay at this resort and nothing is included. Nothing! I understand everything is expensive in St. Thomas because of import fees and tourism is their number one industry, but they are literally robbing you with their food, drink, and tax prices. I probably spent $500-600 here in just 4 days on food and drinks here. That's wild! It's a shame too because it's a such a great place, but the beach in front of jt is horrendous and can't be sat on or swam in. It's so small and dirty. Sadly! If you want to throw your money away on shaved iced drinks and basic apps then be my guest, but I'll never stay at Margaritaville Vacation Resort again due to their employees stealing from our room. Google that issue they have had. *Highly Not Recommended

Breakfast menu

I couldn't come to Saint Thomas without paying homage to the late Jimmy Buffett. On this visit, we stopped into the resort to catch a boat in the morning. We arrived early enough to grab breakfast at the Margaritaville restaurant which only had a few customers. The restaurant is clean and feels new. The breakfast menu is pretty basic but includes some common plates. My omelette was ok. Our server was nice but fairly absent from the dining room while we were there. She apologized and said she had a demanding table but our "quick"breakfast ran long. Unfortunately, Margaritaville is less of a shrine to Jimmy as it is a marketing rider on a "just OK" restaurant

Well.....Think chain restaurant style food. If you like that sort of vibe you'll be happy. For folks that like the unique restaurants, dont go out of your way. All the servers are pretty friendly. Chris especially! They can seat large parties, family friendly. It's on the beach but the beach isn't that big. However! You are still in a lovely cove, with a nice breeze and beautiful water, mountains in the background. Take it with a grain of salt. And a shot of tequila. Not bad overall.

Blackened Chicken Sandwich and fries

Beautiful location just by the sea with many seatings including indoor and outdoor. Service was attentive and courteous. My chicken sandwich was right on spot with a superb taste including the slightly spicy white sauce. Also my wife's pull pork with coleslaw was one of the best's ever had. Menu is limited but not bad at all, recommended.

Food is mediocre. Rooms are great! Perfect view and clean! There are two nice pools with bars and plenty of good restaurants near! There is a store where you can rent chairs and get beach gear. Plenty of taxis available out front!

St. Thomas VI

Nice vacation resort in St Thomas. Great time, 2 pools, restaurant and bar near the pools, employee driven golf cart to get around. Store on the resort. Vans to take you to beaches. Close to Coki Beach and Red Hook.

The Dog House Pub - Chicken sliders and corn fritters

A friend and I visited the Dog House Pub when we were in St. Thomas and it was right on the road…read morewhere we were staying for the week. Not a super hopping area and on a street vs. the beach or anything fancy like that. We saw a chicken or two wandering around also. But the staff and food were great, so that made up for the location not being the best. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super nice and helpful about which drinks might be good for us when we told him what flavors we were feeling. I had my first of many Island Summer Ale beers here (brewed in St. John). Served very crisp and cold in a frosty bottle. For food, I had the fish tacos (when in Rome - or on an island, in this case), along with tater tots. The tacos were tasty, with fried fish, lettuce, and a cheesy sauce on top. My friend had tacos too, but picked the beef protein, and chose the beans as her side. Her's also looked delish, so I would try those if I ever make it back that way. As we left (after dark), the bartender did us another favor. We almost got in the wrong car, thinking it was our taxi, and he ran out and grabbed us and said that was not a taxi at all! I'm not positive it would have been dangerous to get in the car, but it definitely felt like he saved us. If you're staying in the Havensight area of St. Thomas, and don't mind a sports bar style atmosphere vs. beachy vibe, then I would recommend checking out out Dog House Pub for the tacos and beer!

We stopped here on a Friday night during their bingo night- it was very lively and loud but we…read morereally didn't mind. My husband got a burger and I got the chicken biscuit sliders, as well as corn fritters. Service was a little slow but we were on vacation and nowhere to be, plus our waitress was super friendly. When the food arrived, it was delicious, especially the corn fritters. We also ordered several alcoholic drinks, so when we saw the final bill we were honestly shocked how cheap everything came out to be. Would highly recommend!

Located in downtown Red Hook. On the opposite side of the more touristy road…read more This tiki shack style place sits to the middle of a parking lot in a small strip mall. Hand down the best place to eat in the area. It's very small, but packs a punch with great customer service, cool drinks and outstanding food. Best to try and get in on their off hours to get a table without a wait. We literally ate here 4 times when we were on the island. An absolute MUST to order is their Bacon Jalapeno tater kegs! OMG-They're the bomb! Wings are decent and the burgers are juicy, flavorful and delicious! You really can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order. The decor is island themed chaos in every fun way possible. If you happen to have to use the restroom it's located outside (customs ONLY) The key ring they'll hand you is a toilet lid! LOL You can ring in another way too! On your trip to the john, call in sick to work and stay on the island! You're enticed too by the retro phone sitting a top a keg outdoors as well. Great photo opts! Happy Hour is daily! The Love Shack offers particular deals with half-priced cocktails. We did Margs on Monday! Signature drinks include the 50oz Volcano Drink, Shark Attack, and souvenir cocktails like the Pirates Booty in a ceramic mugs. FYI- They may attach a certain creature to your glass also. Perfect vibe, casual dinning and great accommodations by the staff (for our big party) who were so friendly and professional. This is a must experience spot when visiting St Thomas.

We needed a lunch place driving from the car ferry to the airport and we thought the Red Hook area…read morewould be a bit less crowded, far from cruise ships. Duffy's provides free parking which is a rarity and right at noon, the mall lot had tons of open spots. We both ordered burgers, one with the standard fries and one with onion rings. It took a good half hour for the food to be delivered but when we got it, it was hot and cooked to our specs. Fries were crispy. Burger was thick with a nice crisp, almost tasted like a smash burger but thicker. Service was good. It was the one spot where we didn't have to pay for a refill of soda. They were playing the best music! No waitlist or host so you have to linger and wait for someone to leave if you need a table and they are full. Great stop.

Major League Soccer on Apple TV, other sports, food, drinks and friendly people!!…read more - - - - - - - - Yes - The Upstairs Bar has Major League Soccer on Apple TV Season Pass!!! and other sports on several TVs... and food and drinks and friendly staff and guests! - - - June, 2025 Visit - - - The Upstairs Bar is located 1-2 doors north of the intersection of King and Prince street... Prince street is the street that comes straight away from the St. John ferry dock. - - - We are Major League Soccer fans, and while on this trip, our St. Louis CITY SC were playing in Portland, OR, a nice, long ways away from St. John, USVI. As kickoff approached, I was interested in watching the game not in our room but at a sports bar. After a few calls, the Westin recommended The Upstairs Bar and since we were going through downtown St. John, I just visited in person. The bartender was sure we could see the game, and to be sure, she introduced me to the owner who went straight upstairs and clicked the remote until the earlier MLS game was showing. That's all we needed to get stuff back to the room and get ready for the game. While CITY didn't win, that's OK... The Upstairs Bar, and the other patrons, was friendly and welcoming and that made for a great day/night. Thank you, Upstairs Bar! - - -

they were still selling drinks while manager/owner was telling everyone leave right as we purchased…read morethem should be telling bartenders not to serve drinks/sell drinks, but money is more important would be my guess?
