    If you're already making your way up the winding hills of Mountain Top, you might as well stop because no trip up the mountain is complete without it. Sitting about 1,500 feet above the island on St. Peter Mountain, the place delivers one of the best views anywhere on Saint Thomas. From the overlook you're staring straight down at the famous curve of Magens Bay, with islands sprinkled across the bright blue Caribbean like someone tossed jewels across the water. But let's be honest people also come here for the banana daiquiri. They'll tell you they've served more than seven million since the drink was first made here in the 1950s... though after watching the blender go nonstop, I'm guessing the number is probably closer to ten million by now. It's a fun stop for souvenirs, a laugh, and a cold drink with a world-class view. Sure, there are other reasons to come up here but nothing beats a good daiquiri. Salute.

    One of our stops for the day during our island tour. PLENTY of souvenirs to choose from, but you might be able to find better prices elsewhere. The banana daiquiri was REALLY good. LOVED the view of Magens Bay while sipping my daiquiri. Cute spots to take a few pics before leaving.

    The views omg the views are amazing here!!!! We had a rental car so personally the drive up was rough BUT SO WORTH IT. The gift shop is huge so we took advantage and got some souvenirs here. Huge verity as well & good service. Quite the adventure but we had a great time.

    Beautiful view of Magens Bay! The Banana Daiquiri was delicious after a stop on a local tour. Busy location with a lot of tour buses. There are a lot of souvenirs to choose from as well. Overall I recommend as a tour stop.

    We stopped here as part of an Island tour. Souvenir shop had a plethora of options and was definitely on the pricier side . The Banana Daiquiri (7 million sold-supposedly) looked good although the lines were too long to get one-best option is to get in line first if there isn't a queue as tour groups are continuously arriving. The star of the show is the view of Magens Bay. Plenty of photo opps from the lookout point. A must stop when visiting St. Thomas.

    Mountain top is a great place for souvenirs and a picturesque view. As well as the famous banana daiquiri with or without alcohol it's still great. Nice clothes, and nice souvenirs that aren't that expensive compared to other places. The workers will help you with anything you need and are great as well. Good photo ops and great views. You can't go wrong with mountain top.!

    The view from this point is amazing. Beware that it's definitely a tourist trap because you have to walk through a gift shop and bar to get to see the view. Items are overpriced but if you want convenience, this may be your place to shop. The staff are not the friendliest but they also have tons of tourist pouring in and them just want to keep the lines moving.

    GRAB YOUR DAIQUIRI AND RUN. They are the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. Service is HORRIBLE. I didn't even want to spend money here after my first interaction. And oldest looking lady was extremely rude telling me "are you going move out of my way??" While I was with my baby looking at clothing. She didn't bother to ask nicely before that. Horrible attitudes and not worth the trip. There are nicer vendors who actually deserve tourist money all around the island.

    This place is a tourist trap. It has nice views and the banana daiquiris are good. Decent prices for souvenirs. Other than views, drinks and shopping, there's nothing else to do.

    Sea look up, Banana Daiquiri, shop, bay view. This is the location serve the world famous banana daiquiri. The alcohol is there if you don't need to drive. The souvenir shop has many souvenirs. From short to decorative cup. But if you are here Banana daiquiri is the way to go. Don't miss out. The overlooked has a good view to Magen Bay. It is a beautiful beach from the mountain top. It take your breath away. The parking is limited. They do have Outlet parking. Public restrooms are available.

    Prices aren't bad. Typical souvenir shop. $6 magnets. $30 T-shirt. $40 hoodies. No one is bothering you. The bathrooms are very clean. There's food and drinks available too. World Famous Banana Daiquiri. Ice Cream with Rum Cake

    While on our tour of Saint Thomas, VI, my family's first stop was on the "World Famous" Mountain Top. Mountain Top is a mix of a tourist attraction, duty free souvenir shop, and bar. It allegedly has the best banana daquiris in the world and also it is allegedly where it was first invented. I cannot attest as to the quality of the banana daquiri, as I am not much of a fan of the drink, so I did not order while here. I did take time to peruse the store for souvenirs, it has everything from clothing to gift items, home decor, etc. I will also say the outside of the store is weird decorated with pirates... tons of pirates. It's odd but it works. My favorite part is of course the views of the island that the Mountain Top affords. Mountain Top sits atop St. Peters Mountain, which is 1500 feet above sea level. It thus allows you an amazing view of Magens Bay, St. John and the British Virgin Islands. I really cannot emphasize enough how beautiful St. Thomas looks from the observation area of Mountain Top. If you come to Saint Thomas, I highly recommend coming here. Its a long car ride up here, but it is worth it!

    I had a fantastic time looking the gorgeous views and sipping a drink that actually felt natural. They make really fresh from the scratch banana daiquiris and do believe in the hype. And they are at a very reasonable price. The views are just spellbinding. Plan here to come for 15mins and that's good enough if you are visiting the island for a short duration. There is a sale section for refrigerator magnets ($2) and that makes for a great souvenir purchase. There is also a small sale section for T shirts. Came here before the tourist hour and had the first daiquiri they made for the day and it was an nice experience.

Although the Sin Tax went…read moreinto effect this week for wholesalers, it seems to not have really impacted pricing here yet. For you whiskey drinkers out there, Johnny Walker Gold is cheap, $45 for a large bottle when Kmart sells it at $55. Johnny walker black is also on sale 2 for $68. They also have the coveted White Hennessy for $50, which is dirt cheap, this pure white cognac isn't sold in the US and my friends back stateside have told me they have paid close to $100 per bottle to get it. It is veeerrrryyy smooth. This store is one of the best ways to transport alcohol stateside without it breaking all over your stuff in your luggage and weighing it down. I wish they had a wine section. If you're not into the alcohol the other 50% of this store is perfume, which is all reasonably priced. I always stock up on my Marc Jacobs Daisy here. 4.25fl oz for $70 is about $25 cheaper than at retail stores. The employees here aren't pushy on sales either. I think they are bored and just looking for someone to talk to about anything. If you've got time to kill in this tiny airport check this store out. #byebye #St.Thomas #USVI

    During my years of travel for work and play I have encountered many different types of airports…read more This one is quite modest in size and amenities. This is an airport that you get off the plane on the tarmac and walk to the terminal. That is fine, if a bit warm during summer, but during the rainy season I can imagine it is unpleasant. Inside, the terminal is perfectly functional but not much else. We waited a long time for our bags and ours were the very last to be unloaded. I guess someone had to be last but it was stressful because I thought the bags did not make the flight. They advise to arrive 3 hours before your flight, which considering the very small size of the airport seems odd. But for the departure we will comply.

So it was 1000% their fault we didn't get home when we were supposed to. I'd also recommend getting a porter because with them we were able to skip probably an hour + worth of time waiting in lines and were able to skip to the front of everything so customs and tsa were quick and easy even with a packed airport I LOVE St.Thomas, I've been multiple times, but this whole experience makes me very weary to ever go back which is really sad

Passengers must go through a Customs check, then an agricultural check and finally the line where you place your suitcases and personal items through the scanner and may be body scanned as well.
