Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"I liked everything about the place. It was exactly as I hoped it would be. Very laid back, just like the entire island. 2mins from the center of town - shops, restaurants, bars, beach, everything. Owners & staff fantastic. It was off-season slow, which is when I usually travel. If you want to kick back in a quiet, friendly place, St. J is the place to do it, and the Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel is the place to stay. 5+ stars!"
The Westin St. John Resort Villas
10/10 Excellent
"We didn't spend a lot of time on the resort (mostly at beaches around the island), but it was a great resort. It was nice to come back after a long beach day and relax in the pool before changing and catching a taxi to dinner. The taxis hangout on property, making it easy to catch a ride into town for dinner (Morgan's Mango and The Banana Deck were our favorites)."
Gallows Point Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous, well-maintained, great location!"
Suite St. John at Gallows Point Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Location, location! Views, veiws! This was a terrific place to stay. The pool and restaurant lovely. Loved it, would definitely stay again."
The Hills, St John
10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I stayed at 'Villa Poinciana' at The Hills for five nights for our 10th anniversary. The Hills location is far enough off the beaten path that there was not much noise or vehicle traffic in our area, yet close enough to be very convenient to get into Cruz Bay via a quick taxi ride of about five minutes. Though not far from town, I would not advise walking into Cruz Bay from this location, as the roads are quite steep with little room on either side of the road for foot traffic in many areas without walking on the road itself. The villa was extremely clean and as advertised. The view over Cruz Bay was simply amazing from the living room and balcony. I highly recommend this villa and The Hills in general. Scott, the on-site concierge, was friendly, very knowledgeable of the area, and a nice source of answers for any questions we had. We enjoyed chatting with him periodically and he was always sure to ask if we needed anything and how our stay was going. We had a wonderful time!"
