This is an average beach for ST.Thomas. WAter is choppy and has seaweed. Not a pretty beach. Much nicer beaches on Island. Perfect if you want a relaxing day if you are staying at the hotel. If visiting ST. Thomas for day go to other beaches. More

We used this large quiet beach twice in a week. Easy access to food & drinks at the restaurant right on the beach. More

My boyfriend and I were recommended this beach by our waiter during dinner our first night in St. Thomas. It is part of the Morningstar & Marriott resort, but is accessible by locals and tourists as well. We went there at night, around 9pm, and loved it. The sand is the softest of all the beaches we went to during... More

The setting is beautiful, as all St. Thomas beaches are, but gets very crowded. Recommend taking the ferry to St. John's and hike to one of the park's secluded beaches. Ubelievable beauty! More

This beach was just a stairway away from our hotel rooms. The beach was great - the people manning the club shack (towels, snorkels, etc.) were extremely friendly. My kids loved the waves - not huge waves, but fun. I thought the snorkelig was good, too - saw many different types of fish (although not tons of each kind) and... More

We've dined here numerous times throughout the year. Service is terrible!! The food is not at all what one would expect from a Marriott property! Spend your $$ elsewhere!!! More

My family and I spent a week at the Marriott's Frenchman's Cove timeshare in early March. When my husband and son decided to go scuba diving, my daughter and I headed to Morningstar Beach for the day. We first took the Marriott shuttle from the Cove to the Frenchman's Reef hotel to check out the recently completed renovations. The hotel... More

Morningstar Beach has everything you need for a day at the beach, including Coco Joe's for lunch and special cocktails. Plenty of shade umbrellas and lounge chairs. Plan to spend the day and watch sail boats come and go. More

Beautiful beach, nice views, fairly quiet with lots of room. I didn't care for the coral/rocks about 3 feet into the water. Once past that, great beach and surf. More
