Absolutely wonderful place to stay while on St John. It's the only lodging we found where you could…read moreactually stay in the Virgin Islands National Park, which made it that much better. They have different type of lodging options, whether you want to camp and bring your own gear, stay in one of their tents, or rent out one of the cottages. We stayed in the cottages, and we really enjoyed it. The room was spacious - we had two people, but you could easily have at least 4 people without an issue. Ours had a BBQ on the balcony as well as a refrigerator, so you can make your own food if you want. Only downside is that the rooms don't have bathrooms, but the shared bathrooms aren't too far of a walk so it's not that much of an inconvenience. This location is set up so if you never wanted to leave during your stay, you wouldn't have to. They have their own restaurant with a daily rotating menu with new themed specials. The food is a little pricier, but taking into account that you're in a national park and don't have to leave your lodging, it's reasonably priced. Portions are also very generous, so you could share with another person if you wanted to. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner, and they have a food truck closer to the beach for lunch. Food truck was just alright - I would only eat there if you wanted to stay for the day. If you're heading out, I'd grab food somewhere else. They also have a great general store with various food, supplies, and souvenirs, and the front desk can send any mail for you as long as you provide the stamps. The beach here is beautiful and great for either laying out or going in the water. They also have a stand by the beach to rent snorkel gear, kayaks, etc. Plenty of ruins to see as well as a couple really nice trails right across the street. While you can't call for a taxi, Cinnamon Bay is right on the main taxi route so it's easy to go out to the street, find one driving by, and flag it down. So if you don't want to get a car and want to go other places on the island, it's quite easy to get around. Highly recommend staying here for a great time in the Virgin Islands National Park.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Cinnamon bay is a great place to stay in the Virgin Islands if you're looking for:…read morecamping-like or camping accommodations, well-priced accommodations, and more remote accommodations. We enjoyed our time here. Transportation is quite a cost (going back and forth between Cruz bay and other beaches or St Thomas). Staff was friendly, food was good, beach was great, and rentals were convenient and competitively priced. Also I want to note that the bathrooms are impressively clean and nice. I would definitely call this more of "glamping" if you're staying in one of the "eco tents" or "cottages". BEACH/FOOD: The beach here is always rather empty and sunset is beautiful. There are also food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (though they can be expensive). The options are limited in having only a few choices per meal, but they typically do have a meat and vegetarian option. PARKING/TAXIS: there is a parking lot but I think that most people taxi in and out. Taxis can be called by the front desk at night and come by often during normal "beach hours" (9am-4pm). BUGS: We traveled here in March and the bugs were present but not terrible. Definitely bring spray. STORE: The store has limited hours (I forget exactly, but maybe 10-6- definitely check my memory). It has limited items but some essentials: food (some meal items/fruit/ice cream/snacks), sunscreen, hats, postcards, alcohol, t-shirts). Don't expect many options though of each category. WIFI: they've got it, but only in some areas. Specially, the dining patio and front desk area. ONE "RANDOM" RECOMMENDATION: try the canned "painkiller" from the shop. It was a great drink and cost effective (if you're going for tipsy). If you're lucky, the bartender out at the bar will give you a cup of ice and top it with some nutmeg to make it fancyy. Enjoy!

We found a parking spot in a lot and only had a short walk to set up our camp in some nice sun/shade. There are a lot of kids and families here, so expect playing, screaming, etc. but eventually they have to eat something so you'll get some nice quiet. We snorkeled right in front of where we were sitting and saw sea turtles munching on the sea grass. So cool. The beach is not super wide but it's enough to plunk down a chair and have a little shade. Perfect. Water is calm. It's the first place we saw donkeys on the island. We loved it.

The beach and water are beautiful. The water was prettier than I expected and very warm, but the surf is choppy. The down side of this beach is many vendors walking to try and sell you their homemade foods (questionable), and everything requires cash only. Be prepared, but don't leave your items or bags on the chairs. Lots of trash left on the beach, even though we were told it was very clean. People smoking pot everywhere, so everywhere you are, you are down wind of it...doesn't make for a pleasant beach experience. Enjoy the views, because that's about all you will enjoy during your visit, although I did eat the best empanada I ever ate at a stand at the entrance of the beach for $3.50. At 4:30, The Beach Boys grab up your shade and lounger so you have to go find another place to sit, or just do yourself a favor and go to Playa Pinones, drive through the food area and just past you will find the most beautiful, private beach areas there and the best food.
