We had a great time staying here - the garden is really pretty and the hotel managers were very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 1 night only but should have stayed longer.

I've been coming to the Green Iguana often for a couple years now on business, and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on St. Thomas. The hotel is clean. The internet works great. There's DirecTV in every room. Some reviews might mention it being near a not so great neighborhood, but once you turn off the road and up their... More

If you are looking for a clean, beautiful hotel with a "like home" feel, the Green Iguana is the place for you! I stayed there in early May 2012 on vacation with my mother. In researching hotels before my trip, hands down John and Gwen were always so warm and professional on the phone more so than any other big... More

We had a wonderful stay at The Green Iguana this past week. The rooms were clean, we had a beautiful view off our balcony, and most importantly, John & Gwen made us feel like family! They were so helpful! It was our first trip to St Thomas and they made our stay amazing! We will definately go back!

I recently stayed at The Green Iguana Hotel May 4 and then again on May 12 and 13. My husband and I and two other couples were going on a sailboat trip in the British Virgin Islands. We flew into St. Thomas and stayed the 1st night at this delightful hotel. Then again 2 more nights at the end of... More

We really enjoyed your stay with us! Bookending a BVI Adventure at The Green Iguana Hotel is a great way to get into the vacation mode and to wind down after your vacation before you begin your journey home. When you do it in groups such as yours, we feel it makes the vacations even more special! Loved having you... More

We had a really nice stay at The Green Iguana Hotel. The owners, Gwen and John, were very helpful recommending beaches, restaurants, other places to see. It was possible to borrow equipment for snorkeling and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The hotel is placed very close to Charlotte Amalie harbor and the small city and is only a 5... More

This is a great little mom & pop getaway hotel in the foothills of St. Thomas. A short historic 99 step descent gets you to all the action at Charlotte Amalie harbor. The hotel managers Gwen and John are anxious to please and made our stay very pleasant. Great view from balcony. Recommended!

Wasn't Carnival FUN! So many activities just a short walk from The Green Iguana Hotel! This was the island's 60th Carnival Celebration! You will be able to reminisce this fall as MTV's Real World cast was in the Adult Parade! More

Not as expensive as a resort, although things ARE expensive in the Virgin Islands, in general. We like getting away from the chain hotels and restaurants - if you are traveling somewhere different, why stay in or eat at a place that you might find in your home town??!! Room was nicely decorated and included a full kitchen. AC was... More

Thank you for saying "we are not a resort!" We feel we have more to offer than the 'resorts' do! We are close to town, and to beaches all over the island. John and I enjoy finding "the Mom and Pops" when travel and strive to be just that. The Island Charm of The Green Iguana Hotel is what drew... More

My wife and I stayed here bookending a week's stay on Virgin Gorda. We really enjoyed the effort that Gwen and John put into making us feel comfortable. We walked back and forth to all the stores on Main Street and the attractions on the waterfront with little difficulty. We did find that the cabbies were not eager to take... More

We look forward to your return visit! We apologize that the luvered blinds were not room darkening enough for you to be able to sleep in before your travels. Request Guest Room H1 when you return. There is a curtain on the balcony to help block the sunlight! Thank you for staying with us! More
