    great patio
    Christie B.

    This is my first time to stay at this resort. My condo has lots of space and a fantastic view! G34 is the unit number. The wrap around balcony gives you lots of space as well. The shuttle service on the property will come pick you up and take you anywhere you want to go on the property. There are 3 beautiful pools and 2 delicious restaurants! One restaurant is casual, the other fine dining, both are excellent! The entire staff are so friendly and always smiling!

    I really wish I could have given point pleasant 5 stars but this visit was full of disappointments. Just so you know this is my second visit and third for my friend I was traveling with. Let me start by giving credit where it's due, this resort is beautiful. Great location (only 8 min) to red hook. The landscaping is gorgeous and the grounds so well kept. The units are unique and well laid out with great views. On the grounds is a restaurant Ocean 89 that has one of the most incredible dishes I have ever eaten in my life (lobster and waffle) do yourself a favor and order this. Warnings-here is what made my visit disappointing and a warning for you. 1. The lobby has hours and closes at 5pm when you go to the beach for the day you miss them and this is very difficult if you want help, fresh towels, help around the resort or room issues in the evening because there isn't anyone there to help you. 2. There are supposed to be 2 restaurants open-one for breakfast and lunch one for dinner. The grille was closed which required us to spend double the money taking taxis into town to eat. This was never told to us before booking and even at check in they shared that it was open. The front desk was shocked to learn it was closed. 3. The lobby staff asks you for your feedback but is very dismissive and defensive. I was made to feel I was heard when expressing my concerns. 4. Just as I was relaxing on my trip my bathroom flooded. It was discovered that there was a major leak in the wall. It flooded out the bathroom and kitchen. I had to pack and move units 5. Biggest issue the power goes out and stays out for hours. 2 nights in a row from 9-1 am the power was out and when it's 90 degrees outside this makes the unit so extremely hot. You can't charge your phone. You can't watch tv, you can't use the toilet, the shower. In fact my friend was in the shower when it went out and she had to use bottled water to remove soap from her body. When I complained to the management at the office they said oh yes we knew it was happening we don't have a way of telling you all?!! How do you not warn your guests of a major power outage 2 nights in a row?! I plan to return to St. Thomas I absolutely love it but most likely not point pleasant unless they make some changes and updates.

    Beautiful resort, perfect location with stunning views! Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Large room with all amenities , very quiet and relaxing. Stayed for the holidays and our trip was magnificent!( Lots of steps as it's built into the hills so bring comfy walking shoes) First visit to the island and we will be back! Thanks so much to Vincia, Willie and the entire staff for making our trip so wonderful! Happy New Year!

    Point Pleasant has exactly what we want in a condo. Privacy! From our stay in C8, and many of the condos, you cannot into other condos and they cannot see into yours. We've been to other places where you can count 10 balconies and wave at your neighbors... not our ideal of relaxing. It's great to walk out and have coffee watching the sunrise or a nice tropical drink in the evening before calling it a night on a private balcony with a great view. There are three pools on-site, pool on top the restaurant down by the shoreline is the most busy, but never crowded. The pool by the gazebo is a short walk and the one we liked the most as we were usually the only people there. Margaritaville is there if you want a party atmosphere, and there are two restaurants on-site, both very good. We mostly eat out on the balcony though. Coki is a great beach that's about a 8 minute walk. But the best little beach is the tiny beach at the resort which leads to some great snorkeling around the point. Pro tip! Get the free drink on check in; and be sure to have some bug repellant anywhere on the island if you're out around dusk or dawn, I'm a no see um magnet. They will get you and are merciless.

    The views for Point Pleasant are beautiful but if you have knee or hip issues, I wouldn't recommend this place. The resort is on top of a hill. They do have someone that can take you down or up to your room but that's only until 6pm. Then, you are on your own and good luck with that. The rooms were nice. There was a full size refrigerator, microwave and a little stove top if you want to cook while you are there. The resort is walking distance from Coki beach but again, you will have to go up a hill to get there. Nonetheless, I could see myself staying here again for the views and the nice rooms.

    During our 6 day vacation, we had a lovely time at this lovely resort. Our room was just beautiful and looked like it was furnished from a Pottery Barn catalog. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Our view from our second floor balcony of the ocean and of St. John in the distance, was breathtaking. We also spotted iguanas at various times in the trees below. There are 3 pools, a nature trail, a casual bar/restaurant (Shoreline) and a fine dining with a bar (Mirador). There are also lots of steps for exercise. We went down to the small Sugar Beach one morning to find a few chairs, and a nice gentleman who was raking seaweed. Shoreline is right by one of the pools, and you can get a drink from their bar and take it up to the pool. There is a water sports rental shack there as well. Our sofa and armchair were incredibly comfortable for reading or tv watching. We had a rainy day perfect for just that. The shower had a large ledge for all our products. Our kitchen was stocked with supplies - coffee maker, blender, dishes, pots, lots of glasses, cutting boards, etc. There was a 2-burner cooktop, fridge, and microwave. We got some groceries and alcoholic beverages at Moe's, the grocery in Red Hook. Red Hook also has the ferry station, several restaurants, and shops. Tip 1: The resort is isolated and not walkable to town, but it is only a 5-minute cab ride (typically $5 per person each way). The front desk associate will call a cab for you. It's easy to find a cab for the ride back. You may also get a complimentary ride by staff to the lobby from your room, if you are further away from the lobby. It was a hefty walk from ours, by either going up the stairs, or uphill on the winding road. The ferry is $16 round trip to St. John (a must-do). Tip 2: Check the cabinet above the fridge and you may find leftover items from past guests. We found coffee & coffee filters, olive oil, pasta, and rice. We also found a small cooler in the closet, which we used for drinks on the beach. Guests may also taxi over to the Margaritaville resort next door to dine at their restaurant. We did so for breakfast one morning. We chose to take the path along the water to get there and we stepped on 3 rocks to cross the water. We were disappointed there were no lounge chairs on our balcony, but we addressed it with the staff and they took our feedback. The adirondack chairs were fine but not as comfortable. We also had a patio table and chairs. It's very quiet and peaceful for much of the time. I would recommend it for a relaxing holiday.

    Great Resort with Amazing Views! - Stayed at Unit C6 This was our first time in the USVI and I am glad that we chose this resort.  I will break my review into two parts (resort and villa). Resort - The resort is nested in a hill/mountain right off the ocean.  It is a really nice combination.   Premises are nice and very clean. The service was great.  I have no complaints.  They also have two small beaches on the premises that are very convenient if you don't want to leave the resort or if you just want to go and relax at any given time.  Unfortunately due to COVID we were not able to fully enjoy the resort as amenities were closed (i.e. restaurant, watersport, gym). The resort has a good location.  It is close to several attractions, beaches, ferry, Red Hook, etc.  Depending on what your plans are, you might want to consider renting a car.  Although the resort is within walking distance of several places, the roads have no sidewalks or shoulders to walk on, so it might pose a challenge to go to these places.   There are supermarkets, pharmacies, retail stores, and restaurants within a 5-minute drive.  You can grab a taxi or local bus.   Overall the resort is great and will definitely stay here next time. Villa - I stayed in unit C6 (corner villa), this villa needs some love.  The view from this unit is amazing.  It is also located at the street level, so it is easy to bring your groceries in.  It has a nice wrap around balcony.  This for me was the best feature of the apartment.   You can just sit and relax on the balcony overlooking the ocean and the islands on the horizon.  The apartment itself needs some love (ice maker was not working, curtains will not fully slide, time to change the mattress).  These are small changes that the current owner needs to do.  It would be helpful if the villa included some beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler so guests can take them to the beach.  I think that would have been a good and inexpensive addition. Overall the villa serves its purpose and the views and the balcony are just fantastic.  I guess you cannot have everything.

    Snorkel Beach. Saw stingrays, plenty of fish, very secluded
    Nicki S.

    For the rates and the location, this place is absolutely wonderful. The staff was always friendly and inviting. The views are spectacular. It is hilly, but we had a car which made is WAY easier. I cant imagine staying here without a car however they do have someone who can take you all over so it's not the end of the world. But beware those roads are steep and tight if you DO have a car (and drive on the left!). Theres no right in front building parking but its close enough for a quick 1 minute walk to your room and plenty of spaces. There is a small private beach down some steps that was great for snorkeling - we saw a variety of fish and stingrays and plenty of coral. It is a bit rocky but had no problems lounging there or walking over them to get to the sandy areas. It does only have a few chairs but is isolated and comfortable plus you can walk over to the Sugar Bay resort beach which is completely secluded given that resort is closed and it takes about 2 minutes to get there from the PP beach through super shallow water. Plenty of places to each nearby including on the resort, close to Red Hook also to take the ferry to St John. Our room itself was nice and clean. It was a bit run down in some areas and we had bugs in our kitchen that got into our food as well. The toilet paper roll also fell out of the wall. These are all minor things though and not a vacation ruiner but they could use a little refresh but again, all depends on the unit. And if you dont like your unit and they're not full, call the desk and they can adjust you! I would note, make sure you know what room you are booking. Where the majority does have ocean views, some of those views might have an abandoned hotel, or a telephone pole or a sewer next to it. Some reviewers also mentioned the hills but if you didn't figure it out before booking its on a hill so not sure how thats a shocker to anyone.

    My honey did good with this birthday present. Where to begin. Ok, I'm not a fan of islands because they don't have a lot of things to do. In such a off the ground adventurous chic, and it's hard to plan island trips in the air other than parasailing. Been there done that, a few times. Soooooo, babe booked a great villa for us and my birthday and they have so many things that I love. One, they great you with a lemonade that'll make ya mommma duck, so she doesn't get slapped. Hahhaha Oh, yeah the lemonade is spiked with the best fruit cruzan ever. Yesterday we had vla k cherry, today was mango, but LISTEN...you can't get that anywhere else because they make freshly squeezed lemonade and everyone else is fountain. Yuck! The staff is amazing and the customer service is impeccable. Jean, silent n ( jah) took really good care of is and he's proud of his staff, because of their outstanding customer service. The room is amazing. Fully equipped, wrap around balcony, full kitchen and dishes, comfy bed, boring bathroom, and awesome living room. Very cozy. Great place to eat on the balcony. ( we bought groceries at moes ) If you go eat off the shore, don't eat the sushi or nachos. Try a burger. Best sushi is at Raw. Lots of things are in redhook. Anyway, it's a great stay. Many beaches to check out. Having a ball.

    I absolutely love staying at Point Pleasant, all of villas seem to have incredible views of the ocean, you can hear the waves from the first row, and the privacy can't be beat. Seriously, just spent a week in Maui, the landscaping was Disney level artificial, I could see 12 other balconies from mine, into at least a half a dozen of the villas, and the price was right at 3x. At PPR the landscaping is clean, but not artificial, the views are exceptional, the water is warmer than the Pacific, and from staying at multiple villas I don't ever recall being able to see into, or others being able to see into my villa. You get the feeling you're on your own little private villa away from everyone else. PPR is not "on a beach", but there is a great little beach at the end of a trail with a few lounge chairs which rarely has more than 2-4 people on it. And Coki, one of the better beaches and very good snorkel site, is a 5 or so minute walk. Point Pleasant my not be for everyone, but if you want privacy and a great selection of ocean view villas it's hard to beat.

    Point Pleasant may be the name, but pleasant is an understatement! After being well past due for a vacation, let alone one to a tropical environment during a time when it was snowing back home (Ohio) I decided to stay here. Let me say this was the perfect place to pick! I did my research well in advance. Desiring the versatility of a condo for rent, this place fell perfectly in place with that. I searched for quite sometime prior to executing the reservations here to ensure it was the 'perfect' place. Upon showing up here I was mind blown when I walked into the lobby to check in (First picture is from the lobby, no filter either, enjoy)!! They were very friendly and even with my check in accompanied a mighty tasty adult beverage! After being told all the info and concluding the check the room/unit came next. I was not let down at all. The pictures on their website were very accurate and showed everything with great detail and truly how much room there was for my stay here. While the reason for my visit was more forgettable, my memories of Point Pleasant are NOT! The view day in and day out was breathe taking! Located onsite is the Mirador which I would recommend, and the Shoreline Grille. Neither of the two are disappointing in any way! Both well worth the visit and a walking distance away in the perfect climate! I had a lower unit E5 which did not disappoint me one bit. The view was to die for! Although part of the view was blocked by some foliage near the front but it was nothing to fret over. Point Pleasant is located on a hill which can make walking around quite the task, but the view makes up for it and the property overall is well worth it. The staff was very courteous and handled every question I had. The private beach onsite is nice. It is small but efficient and quite tranquil. Three pools for swimming and tanning are onsite as well. If you have done your research this wouldn't be a surprise, but when you have clear water like this who cares about a pool? One of them is located above Shoreline Grille as well. With the back drop of neighboring islands and St. John the view doesn't get justice from pictures. Not even close. All around this place did not disappoint. Upon my return to USVI - St. Thomas this Point Pleasant is on the list to get my reservation again.

    The views are unbelievable-my husband and I never wanted to leave! We booked D35 via AirBnB and loved everything about our experience. The balcony overlooks the ocean and we could even sit in bed and see the amazing view. This resort is VERY hilly, so walking to and from restaurants and the lobby is not for the faint of heart. We loved the pool located at the top of the resort. It was quiet and private and had incredible views overlooking the island. This resort is essentially condos, so some rooms are booked via the owners, while others are booked directly through the resort. Our room could have used better cleaning (ceiling fans were disgustingly dusty) but honestly our experience overall was so great that it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of our vacation. Service was very friendly and timely. We rented a cooler from the resort several times for beach trips and loved that we could buy groceries and make meals in our room to save money on dining out. Overall, fantastic experience. We can't wait to come back!

    I loved loved my stay in unit B-16! First off, when you arrive the front desk staff is so helpful and friendly. Dont turn away from the rum and lemonade, it was a perfect beginning! Since all units are independently owned, but managed by point pleasant it's easy to see how there are differing opinions of the units. B-16 was just perfect. It had all the kitchen you need, including a blender, toaster and coffee maker, and full dinner stuff. The balcony was perfect because there was a table you could sit at and watch the water where I watched the sun rise and watched turtles in the water. There were oversized chairs where I sat and read a book and drank wine. It was close to mirador and nice to be close to the lobby. The unit was clean with nice decorations and furnishings. I spent a few hours by one of the pools which was so nice and relaxing. The walk to the gazebo was so relaxing and pretty. Taxi's are always available and affordable to red hook which is nice if you want to go to the ferry or head into red hook for dinner Overall, I cant wait to come back and will definitely request the same unit, B-16!

    The service here is not equivalent to a 4-star property…read more The latte machine was broken every day during our stay. The servers act like they do not want to be here and the lobby and car service folks as well. Right now I've waited 45 mins to get room service on the line. I either get hung up on or no answer at all. Sent multiple food items back as they were either raw, or never showed up. When I told a server on our first day here the ceviche was big clumps of tuna with some mango pieces she just said ok. We waited 50 mins because our order was lost at the sea side BBQ restaurant. Balcony was never swept and bath gel was never delivered. It's a beautiful location with a lot of potential but i can't recommend this hotel as the service is absolutely non existent.

The resort is easy to get around, beautifully landscaped, and spotless -- from the rooms and grounds to the common areas. The staff couldn't have been nicer -- everyone we met was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. Our room was right by the ocean and just steps from the private beach, which made it feel extra special. The infinity pool was large and never crowded, and the swim-up bar was a fun touch. There were always plenty of lounge chairs available, so we never had to rush out early to grab one. We also appreciated having access to the amenities at the sister property, The Westin, which added even more options during our stay. The bartenders at The Sandbar, Sean and Michael, really stood out -- super friendly, attentive, and just great to talk to. The food there was excellent (we especially loved the pizza and tacos), and the portions were just right. We also used the valet service, which was quick and very helpful with our luggage. Breakfast at Sugarfin was delicious, though a bit pricey -- the $25 French toast was hands-down the best I've ever had, and honestly, I'd order it again. The orange juice, bacon, and sausage were also excellent. We did run into a couple of small issues, but the staff handled them quickly and professionally. One thing to note -- the "king" beds are actually a bit narrower than a standard king (about six inches). Malika from Service Express explained that all rooms have this size to maximize space, and he was kind enough to offer a small resort credit for the inconvenience. We really appreciated how he handled it. The sunsets from the property were absolutely stunning -- some of the best we've ever seen. On our last night, we had dinner at Isla Blue, the fine dining restaurant on-site. Service was excellent, and most of the food was fantastic. I did have an issue with my filet that took a bit of follow-up to get resolved, but once upper management got involved, they handled it very professionally and made things right. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Buoy Haus. It's a beautiful, relaxing resort with a great atmosphere and amazing staff. We'd definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a laid-back, upscale getaway in St. Thomas.

Luna Mar at the Westin (there is a third Marriott property on the other side of the Westin; two hotels and Frenchman's cove is MVCI) - Morning snorkeling - Breakfast at the pool bar before checking our - Fantastic views from the beach and from our room - Great courtesy by the staff For more about the property, which one of our favorite MVCI properties, the rooms, and more, please see the 2021 review, below. - - - The property - - - Frenchman's Cove is built on a hillside, you arrive at the main desk at a the top of the hill; there are buildings at that level; the other buildings are built lower down the hill, and the property has its own beach. Each building had four or five floors and all have wonderful views. The buildings are colorfully painted, and look great, especially when you're in the water looking back at the shore. - - - The room - - - The rooms are standard MVCI / Marriott Vacation Club rooms: - 2 bedrooms, one king and two full sized beds - 2 bathrooms - Laundry - Kitchens with servings for 8 and all the utensils you need; refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave and coffee machine.. with coffee available; just ask housekeeping for more - Patio table and chairs with a view - Note: if you leave the patio table unattended, you my return to find seagulls arrived and are some of your bacon while you were bringing out the rest of breakfast... :) - nice! Recommendation: bring a Bluetooth speaker for music. - - - The beach & Sunset Cove Bar & Grill - - - This trip we checked and quickly made our way to the beach; the day was sunny and nice and warm but not hot. The resort has a couple large floating mars that are anchored; several adults can lazily get some sun while socializing. We also had a snack at "the pool bar," Sunset Cove Bar & Grill... which offers a good selection of good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacking in between. We enjoyed: - afternoon snack - hummus and carrots & celery; and very good mai tais - breakfast the next morning We enjoyed laying on the big mats floating in the water... you get a tan and stay wet while enjoying the outside. The night we were there, we enjoyed an absolutely beautiful sunset from the floating mat... so nice! The room has a kitchen, but since we stayed only one night, there was less of a need for groceries... so... in the morning, we had a breakfast at the Sunset Cove Bar & Grill - it was a wonderful breakfast of steak and eggs and OJ... with a wonderful view of the beach. - - - MarketPlace - gift shop and mini grocery store - - - The MarketPlace staff is friendly and helpful; they offer pastries, yogurt and other breakfast food, spices and other good for dinners and lunch and a variety of bottles of drinks, many from around the Caribbean. They also offer sunscreen and other items for the outside; and souvenirs - shirts, hats, more. - - - The surf, the lack of on St. Thomas and St. John - - - We have been blessed to visit the Caribbean a couple times and have noticed that there is not much surf, not many waves. On an early trip someone explained that the Caribbean is just at a position in the ocean where the tides are just not very noticeable; brief internet searches suggest the tide only varies from a few inches to a foot or so... such small changes don't lead to many waves. You'll likely see and enjoy hearing waves "lapping at the shore," but you're not likely to do much body surfing... if you have a boogie board, you'll likely be better off leaving it at home. - - - Thank you, Frenchman's Cove staff! - - - ----- ----- -----

    Okay so this was an okay stay but, We had a few issues…read more One) if you are in search of good AC be warned this place sometimes is not the best with it. Ours was so bad we had to switch rooms not to mention the hot water in the shower not working. We let the host know and they said they would send someone up to look while we went to have dinner at sugar fin, which was long but we didn't mind. Once we got back they still hadn't had anyone look at it so we suffered one night and got moved to a new room the next morning. The AC goes to 65 but it will only get done to 74 if you are lucky. So be warned. Second) we got late check out for 1pm but we were bombard at 11am over and over again until 1pm. It was ridiculous! Took us twice as long to get out because we had to keep answering the door. Lastly three) me and my mother had a cabana by the spa pool and a spa treatment. These were short treatments but with them you get access to the spa amenities. I was shown the lounge room but nothing else, but my mother who went before me was shown nothing. She didn't even know that it was an option for here to use. These should be shown to everyone. The professionalism there is lacking. Overall the bars and restaurants were great, sometimes you do have to wait but you are on island time so it's not a huge dealbreaker for me at all. Everyone is very nice and friendly even when we needed help. Just keep in mind it is HOT and this may not be worth the price they make you pay.

The views are spectacular and it's so pleasant sitting either on our private balcony, at the pool or at the restaurant looking out over the harbors watching all the activities. The room we have is very large with a very comfortable bed, nice sofa and chairs. Bathroom is more than serviceable but not luxurious. I love the laid back pace. Sitting at breakfast chatting with the other guests, enjoying the swings at the pool, the out of this world dinner at the steakhouse. It's exactly the kind of relaxing getaway we needed!

My husband and I just spent five incredible days there and can't recommend it enough. It's a stone's throw away from the airport, so super easy to get to. The hospitality is unmatched (Eileen is the BEST!), the rooms are large, clean and spacious, the beds are SO comfy and they've got this salt water pool where you can just relax and soak up the sun and some killer views of the ocean. And can we talk about breakfast?! Eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, toast, OJ, tea, coffee - all piping hot and made fresh for you every morning. Also, they've got this incredible on-site restaurant, Island View Steakhouse. Chef Marshall Bishop heads it up and trust me, the man's a genius. We unfortunately only dined there one night since we wanted to hit up all of the other "good" restaurants on the island and regret not having another dinner there. Every last thing about our meals, from appetizers to dessert, blew us away. Those meals were hands down the best we had on the island, and I think we knew it that night. I'm STILL dreaming about the perfectly prepared ribeye I had the pleasure of having. Honestly, it was the best I've ever had! Do yourself a huge favor and check out Island View Guest House and Steakhouse. I guarantee you won't regret it. And before anyone asks, no, I was not paid or asked to say any of this; i just wanted to give this little slice of heaven a shout out!

Got to the first entrance and the rude lady at the front said "wrong one, turn around and go that way" as she pointed her finger and rolled her eyes. Drive around and finally find the second entrance, get the check in booth and ask tell the lady our room info. It was VERY hard to understand her accent. We ask which direction and she points in a random direction. So we look around at the little room numbers on the building that we're not visible from the road. NONE of these numbers are in order. We had to get out and walk forever just to find our room, then it was at the very end and no parking available anywhere. Meanwhile the front lady knew which room we were going to, walked past us while it was visibly clear we didn't know where our room was, didn't offer assistance. Even when we asked she ignored us and kept walking. Got our bags out and had to pull them up two flights of stairs. Got into our room and it's just a straight walkway with a bathroom on the side, got the Motel 8 vibe. I immediately stub my foot on the base of the bed. Which by the way, the bed is WAY TO HIGH off the floor, if you roll off this queen bed you will get hurt. I'm 5'0 and had to have my husband push me on the bed. And the bed itself was so incredibly hard, the pillows flat too. I woke up with back pain after 7 hours of sleep. Fridge door is backwards and hits the counter top so the door doesn't open all the way. Oh and the pictures make it seem you can walk down to a beach area, no you absolutely cannot. It's a boat dock! View from the balcony is not great. This place needs a major renovation! Don't rent unit 212.

    Sapphire Beach Resort on St. Thomas sits right on one of the island's prettiest stretches of sand…read moreSapphire Beach itself, that long, curving crescent of white with calm turquoise water perfect for snorkeling or just floating away the hours. It's got that secluded, east-end feel: far enough from the cruise-ship chaos of Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook that you can actually hear the waves instead of engines, and at night, with the right room, it's just you, the lady, the trade winds, and whatever mischief the darkness allows. Whatever happens at Sapphire stays at Sapphire no prying eyes, no judgment, just the kind of quiet romance that makes you forget the mainland exists. But let's not kid ourselves: this place has seen better decades. It's a condo-style resort with wear and tear showing in the rooms some units feel updated and decent, others lean toward faded Motel 6 vibes with dated fixtures, inconsistent maintenance, and that middle-of-the-road luxury tax that hits harder these days with inflation. You're paying a premium for direct beach access, pools, a marina, nearby spots like Sea Salt for a solid meal, and the privacy that seclusion brings, yet for a few extra bucks you could land something fresher and more polished elsewhere on the island. It's hit-or-miss depending on the unit you draw, and if you're on a tight budget, the value can feel stretched. Still, I've come back multiple times because that beach is iconic, the seclusion is a rare gift in the Virgins, and in the right light with a cold drink and no agenda it delivers exactly the kind of unpretentious escape that keeps pulling you back to these islands. If you're chasing flawless five-star polish, look elsewhere; if you want real, raw, beautiful imperfection with a side of solitude, Sapphire still has soul.

And so we ended up at the lovely Westin thanks to my starwood points- can't beat a free vacation. While we didn't stay at Caneel Bay, we did spend a lovely day here. The concierge at the Westin had highly recommended the brunch at Caneel Bay, but when we got there we were informed they aren't serving brunch til January. It didn't make much sense to me since the holidays are the high season for them, but the regular lunch menu looked great too. Parking at Caneel Bay is $10, but if you eat lunch they'll validate your parking. Worked for me! The food at the beach restaurant was really good. I enjoyed a mozzerella sandwich and some tasty fries that came with it. And my hubby seemed to really like his club sandwich as well. The service was top notch as well, something we felt that was missing from our stay at the Westin. We took the short trail over to honeymoon beach. It was a very small beach, but quiet and beautiful. I worked on my tan, while my husband snorkeled. He had snorkeled at many different beaches on the island and said this was one of the best snorkeling experiences. We then walked back over to use the beach on Caneel Bay. They allow visitors, but you're not able to use their lounge chairs and equipment unless you're staying there. Regardless we were happy campers soaking up the rays (and more snorkeling for the hubby) on this gorgeous beach. It was one of the loveliest days on the island. I'd definitely look into staying here during the off season when the prices aren't so high...or if i ever win the lotto.

Look NO further!!!! We had the most relaxing vacation. Exactly what us moms needed. We had room 220 (2 double beds) and a fantastic view. Never needed to rush to the beach to find a spot. Always had a spot at the pool. We sat at the bar most of the time without a problem. Every staff member we met was so nice and friendly (007 is a total gem!!!) - please do not listen to the negative reviews!!! Treat them like people - say "good morning, how are you today?" and they will treat you like family. Ocean was so nice, not crystal clear like Sapphire or Linquist but clean and so nice. Pelicans were super fun to watch. We couldn't stop raving about this place every minute to one another. I was there this Saturday when they had an issue with their water. I want to say - I have never seen a place go above and beyond to make sure the guests were taken care of. I'm sure you all were freaking out but you did so good at mitigating a terrible situation!!! My best friend and I didn't even realize something was wrong till it came to dinner time. We got to our room with a gallon of water and multiple water bottles waiting for us. Dinner was a buffet (really great spread). The only really "problem" was it was our last night and we were really hoping to get more of the bang bang shrimp tacos (which are to die for!!). Guess we will have to come back for them. Only real "complaint" - the rooster could be a little quieter...it is vacation spot dude lol but nothing a sound machine couldn't muffle. He really wasn't so bad, I could always roll over and go right back to sleep. Thank you Bolongo and St. Thomas for your warm hospitality! We will 200000% be back.

When Kas tells you to 'trust the process' you need to trust in her and her staff, truly experts...they have this destination wedding thing down to a science. They had great recommendations to provide to us for vendors that they have worked with well. We used all their recommended vendors and everything worked out so well. I cannot give them enough accolades and 'thank you' will never be enough. Kas and her staff are simply phenomenal!!!! They were responsive via e-mail, and did whatever they could to give us the best wedding day possible - one example is helping to customize our bar offerings with signature cocktails and a particular choice of spirits. They cater to your every need and go above and beyond. The service and food (hors d'oeuvres, Mediterranean buffet, and late-night taco bar) were all fantastic and received rave reviews from our guests. Chef Risa is a master and will help you curate the perfect menu. The ceremony on the farm, with the mountains in the background was stunning.
