    What a beautiful property. We stayed 5 nights, our room was very comfortable, decorated nicely. The complimentary breakfast was delicious every morning, Helen was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with questions about activities on the various islands. Just to add a word of caution: the driveway to the B & B is very steep, take it slow if you have a rental car. The front of the car will scrap the driveway. I would definitely recommend this establishment if you're planning a visit to the Virgin Islands.

    My boyfriend and I stayed here after our week sailing trip. Helen and Jun, the owners of the bed and breakfast was super hospitable and kind. They can pick you up and drop you off at the airport as the same price of the taxi service and you are in a nice car vs a big van of people. The property was beautiful and overlooked the Redhook Bay. You can watch the sailboats come in and out of the bay during the day. It's a 10 min walk to Redhook and 8 min walk to Secret Bay harbor where we went to the beach and you can snorkel and dive. The hotel room was super clean and had all the essentials you need. The only downside is the walls were very thin so you can hear the people in the rooms next to you but they had a sound machine in our room that we put on and we slept like babies. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and the checkout was at 11. Would recommend staying there!

    Sometimes you want a more personal touch with travel accommodations; a more intimate environment where you can feel like a guest as opposed to a tourist. Two Sandals by the Sea came highly recommended by a friend, and their "reserve 6 nights and get 7th night free" special sold us even more. They are a quaint B&B with only four rooms, located in a great area on the East end of St. Thomas. Jun and Helen, our hosts, were absolutely wonderful! Even before we arrived they were available for any questions we had. And once we did arrive on the island, we were greeted warmly with a delicious rum cocktail! Talk about a good start to our vacation! They had many suggestions about how to spend our time in the VI. In fact, we spent our first day on Jun's boat, snorkeling with sea turtles and hopping from one beautiful beach to the next. It was a unique adventure and a great deal, with the price being split between the number of passengers. The location on the island is awesome, literally just a 10 minute walk down to Red Hook and the ferry terminal. This was immensely helpful since we didn't have to worry about cabs to get around. Plus you'll want to spend time on St. John, and the ferry is so close! Our room, the Santa Monica, was clean and comfortable. The separate living area was great since our bedroom didn't have to be crammed with our snorkeling gear, suitcases, etc. And the a/c was much appreciated after a hot day outside. What I really loved about Two Sandals was the overall intimate and friendly atmosphere. There is a great happy hour starting at 5pm everyday that allows you to get to know your fellow guests. The central area is wonderful for socializing, and the patio overlooking Red Hook affords a beautiful view. Breakfasts were delightful and refreshing, providing enough energy to start the day without weighing you down. Helen is an excellent baker, and each day the scones and bread kept getting better and better! As you can see, we much enjoyed our visit. As highly recommended as it was to us, we will do the same to others!

    We had a great stay at two sandals. Helen and Jun were so nice and helpful with anything that we needed. I looked forward to breakfast and coffee on the patio every morning. We stayed in the Malibu room, which had a great view of Red Hook and the sunrise. It was a short walk to almost every where we wanted to go and if it wasn't, then Helen or jun would give us a lift. (For am additional charge). Over all a great vacation and we would highly recommend staying at two sandals.

I stayed at Garden by the Sea for my stay and will never stay anywhere else. Everything about it is amazing. From the service Eileen and John give to the comfort and ease of being at a B&B. Friendly, clean, affordable, and beautiful views!!! GO GO GO!!!! Barbara B.

    We prefer B&Bs that have absorbed some local color and character. In selecting the "Garden by the…read moreSea," we hit the nail right on the head. This lovely little inn has true island charm--from the private, screened-in outside shower replete with tropical plants, sea glass mobiles, and walls bedecked with sea shells and corral, to the open-air common room with beautifully tiled mosaic floors of local sea life, and birds chirping all around. The location was perfect for us. It was a reasonable stroll to the beach bars and ferry (by way of the path along the pond). But the distance from those "lively" spots means that an evening spent on the veranda at the inn is restful, not like your third-story balcony over M Street in Georgetown. When we booked our trip in March, it was with Kathleen, but when we arrived it was the new owners, Eileen and John, who greeted us. Every thing had been handled so seamlessly that, if they had not told us of their new occupation as inn owners, we would not have known there had been a hand-off. From the helpful hospitality and excellent breakfasts, to the morning greeting of Fiona and Cooper (their dogs), we found this garden by the sea a genuine West Indies experience.

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.

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!

The views are simply breathtaking, and the property is immaculate and beautifully maintained. We enjoyed walking through the gardens and landscaping, and the pools are pristine.

The on-site restaurants offer great dining options, and the location is just a short ride into town, making it easy to explore. One of the highlights of our trip was taking excursions on the stunning Lady Lynsey catamaran. I've done both the Maho Bay Snorkel and the Sunset Dinner Sail to St. John--both experiences were incredible and I highly recommend them! The staff is warm, attentive, and truly elevate the experience. We can't wait to return!

Bellavista Bed and Breakfast is the best place to stay on Saint Thomas and let me tell you why. Location: The bed and breakfast is halfway up a sizable hill, so you get a clear view of the cruise ship harbor, the ocean, and all of Charlotte Amelie, the second biggest town on the island. It's far enough away from downtown that you can't really hear it, but close enough that a quick 5 minute walk will get you where you want to go. Facilities: An amazing house with surprisingly strong security; if she didn't point it out to you, you wouldn't notice it at all. The house is very open during the day and locked up tight at night time. The house itself is gorgeous with a lovely open living room and a balcony off the kitchen where Wendy, the owner, serves her amazing breakfasts (more on that later). There is a private deck side pool for when you want to skip coki beach and just be somewhere quiet. The rooms are just what you need, and she keeps them immaculate. Breakfast: Prepared to be blown away. My wife and I are pretty used to hotel continental breakfasts: contrasted with Wendy's food the hotels are serving you rubbish. Wendy prepares beautiful meals with fresh fruit, everything made from scratch, and frequently with self made smoothies. Breakfast isn't something you'd ever expect to be this good; for us it was the best part of everyday, and we had some really good days. Wendy: Yeah she's an amenity all by herself. She's incredibly friendly, very funny, and gives you the most personal service you've ever had. She knows practically everything about the island and what to do, she knows exactly who and when to call for cabs, and on top of this runs the whole B&B almost single handedly. She's one of the nicest people you will ever meet. All in all you're going to be getting an experience better than some of the activities on the island you'll be booking. Wouldn't you rather have an amazing experience you can rely on everyday than just the regular old hotel trip? I would, and I am so glad I stayed here.

We felt like family from the moment we arrived and met Savannah. The location is close/walkable to town but very quiet.

The view from the pool/breakfast area was amazing also. The location is just outside of town, there was a relaxing feel about the whole place. Being on the deck for sunset, glass of wine and music from the bay were perfect. We did walk up from the Bay Area and it was a hike, be ready. Going down was much easier of course. There is a trial you can hike to Honeymoon Beach. This beach was probably our top for just chilling out and enjoying the ocean. There were lounge chairs here, a bar to buy drinks, large area for shade, (if you need that) ;). We ended up renting a Jeep so we could go explore all the different beaches/areas of the island. Maho beach, great snorkeling, you will see a turtle. Even if not snorkeling you will see a turtle. Fun area here for food/drink, and lots of different rentals. The resort provides beach chairs for you to use, a cooler and you can rent the snorkel gear. I encourage you to take advantage of all that. They also provide ice. We didn't discover that until we had been there for a couple of days. Everyone working on the resort was so friendly, including the owner. When we go back to Saint John we will be staying here again! Thank you!

We stayed in the Tropical Garden suite- we chose this suite partly because of the beverages and food that are provided in it. (Some food items were expired, but that may be an unfair complaint b/c I never brought it to the owner's attention.) It was nice already having the wine, rum, muffins, cheese, and other "extras" there when we arrived. We also enjoyed using our suite's blender, snorkeling equipment, and bbq grill. The view from the large wrap-around balcony was amazing. Three tips: 1. Rent a car! It's possible to get around the island without one, but having a mini-suv was such a huge convenience. 2. Check out the programs offered by the park rangers. We really enjoyed the free snorkeling tour at Trunk Bay. The ranger/guide, Pat, was very knowledgeable and I was so happy that we woke up early to do this. It was free, but I would have gladly paid a hefty amount for this guided snorkel tour. 3. Eat at the Windy Level Restaurant. The prices were unbeatable and the food was fabulous. I wish we had found this place on our first day!
