We were going to vacation in the BVI but wanted to stay one day in Charlotte Amalie to get "into the zone". Selecting the Green Iguana was a very good decision as it's walking-close to town (via the "99 Steps"), fun-cozy, and the staff were very knowledgeable about things to do. Note: try to plan your stay when cruise ships... More

We had one night here at the Green Iguana with John and Gwen before heading back home after a BVIs sailing trip. The location is perfect - up and away from the bustle of town. Quiet, great for sleeping, great view of the town from above, perfect sunset from the balcony. Got in town in time for dinner and were... More

We had such a lovely stay at The Green Iguana! The hotel is clean, private, safe and situated in the middle of the island. You can get anywhere on a short drive or walk into downtown. Gwen and John are an absolute treasure, they took such great care of us the whole week! Great recommendations for sight seeing and food,... More

Off season is a great time to come to St. Thomas! From May through November (including Thanksgiving), cruise ships cruise to the northern coast lines, restaurants offer nightly specials and the beaches have just enough Visitors on them to be very enjoyable! As the seas warm for the summer, the diving and snorkeling are at their best! How awesome it... More

My husband and I just returned from a lovely holiday visiting St Thomas & St John. We have previously visited St Croix and enjoyed it very much. So the hotel is very quaint, quiet, wonderful landscaping, well managed, clean, offers great views, is close to downtown (although you will need a rental to really enjoy both islands), close to shopping...

You are right when you say you really need a car to visit ALL of St. Thomas and St. John! Taxis can cost quite a bit it you are the kind of Visitor who wants to see it all! And driving on the left side of the road is like driving in the fast lane of the stateside freeways! So... More

I visit St Thomas A LOT and I love trying new hotels. Since I visited during Carnival, I wanted to be close to the action during the day, but have quiet nights. This was the perfect location. The one thing I loved about this hotel is that it felt more like a bed and breakfast. Everything was so casual and... More

It was a pleasure to meet you Stephanie! While we wish we had the space to be a B&B, we are fortunate to have Town (Charlotte Amalie) so close to us! Especially during Carnival! From the "Queen's Show" at the stadium to the parades through Town, you don't have to worry about parking in Town! Just a short walk down... More
