I finally found the place after about a 30 minute walk. I'd heard of it through Fodor's, I expected something pretty basic. They called it "pedestrian". I found it to be filthy, obsolete, dark, and not well-cared for. The neighborhood is a little seedy and there's really no great views from there. I wanted a private bath so paid for... more

Tamarind Court is a quaint little place right in the heart of Cruz Bay (the main town of St John). It is definitely a no-frills hotel with limited office hours and small rooms. The single rooms (one twin bed) share a bathroom. The larger rooms (about twice the price) have private bathrooms and are a little nicer. I stayed for... more

This was the filthiest hotel room I have ever seen. I just thought people who reviewed this hotel badly must be fusspots, but I was wrong. I stayed here because it was one of very few relatively modestly priced hotels in St. John. I think the sheets and towels were clean, but that was it. The floor, of cheap tile,... more

I must say I'm a bit dismayed by some of the reviews I've read here about the Inn at Tamarind Court. It almost seems some of us have stayed at a different hotel. The Inn is a easy five minute walk thru downtown Cruz Bay from the ferry dock. You will come to a yellow and blue fence on your... more

First off, I want to say that when we booked our stay at the Tamarind Court in St. John we weren't expecting luxury accommodations. St. John is expensive and the Tamarind Court was quite cheap. But we were pretty surprised by what we saw when we arrived. Let's start with the room. It was clean, and had a/c and a... more

This is a great place to stay on St. John. Great breakfast, good dinners, fun bar, clean rooms, friendly staff, and cheap! Walk a block or two to downtown restaurants at night, and take your rental car or a taxi to an empty beach for the day. What more could you want? If you expect basic but more than adequate... more

stayed there once, never again. rooms were fair at best, price has gone up i see. loud neighbors, not their fault tho. couldnt be a free breakfast, but thats the only thing good i could find to say. more

Wonderful stay. Good value for the price paid as compared to island rates. Fun courtyard to have cocktails and great food. Perfectly located close to Cruz Bay, all of the main restaurants and shopping in walking distance. Expect a hotel that is a bit older, but the staff is very accomodating. more

A very nice, quaint hotel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They were a welcomed relief from the aloofness of some of the people on St. Thomas. The food at the hotel was very good. We did not have any problems with bugs or mosquitos. We would return. more
