I have never seen so many jewelry stores in such a small area! It was fun to stop at the different shops and see what they had to offer. Shopkeepers were very friendly - be prepared to get the hard sell in some places. If you are looking for good deals on t-shirts and souvenirs, check out the blue tent... More

Great Shopping in Havensight but, be aware shops like Caribana are scams. First I would like to say that this store isn't unique in any way, all their products can be found at other stores on main street or havensight at better prices. This is the worst store in havensight. First of all they mark up all their prices by... More

We stopped here for some shopping off cruise ship. It was ok. A lot of jewelry stores if thats what your looking for. Streets and sidewalks are very narrow. A lot of cars and trucks up and down the narrow roads. Be very careful. It was pretty is some areas. Others were like a normal downtown. Some spots were kinda... More

Main Street is extremely busy, dirty and unsafe. We saw drug deals happening in the open and heard gun shots during the night

Sad to see that most shops are closed unless there is a cruise ship on the dock. Even sadder to hear that drugs and crime closes most places, including restaurants off the main drag 2 or 3 streets in.... really relieved that at least the historic tour took us through significant streets and past important buildings.

Unbelievable all the jewelry shops in one area. We especially liked Diamonds International. Very reputable and nice.

While main street is very aesthetically pleasing, it's truly very touristy. Every other shop is a diamond store. The souvenir shops are all of the ones that aren't diamond stores, and some are both! There are also some decent restaurants that we ate at and the people seemed to be friendly and it was not a sketchy area. I wouldn't... More

After a few shops, they all sell the same. We would rather see the sights, buildings, laneways rather than shop but shopping in St. Thomas is supposed to be THE place. Not interested in shopping on this shop but ended up at a jewellers and bought a ring home. There you go, how they do their thing, obviously it worked.... More

For my money if you’re interested in investing in jewelry it’s got to be House of Rajah. George and his team are always so accommodating and helpful. In fact I was in the store the other day and within 40 minutes three different couples or groups came in and make statements regarding the fact that they had been buying jewelry... More

Peddlers hawk in the streets, shop-keepers hawk from storefronts, and time share scamsters harass pedestrians. After 6:00 p.m. the street is completely vacated by all but thieves and homeless. Do not get caught in this area after sunset and if you do - don't expect any police presence. Modest deals might be found at independent jewelery stores but you'd better... More
