This resort has a great beach! It is private and beautiful. You see boats passing by frequently between St. John and St. Thomas. If you are expecting to snorkle on this beach, you will be disappointed. There is not much sealife here (you need to go to the other side of the island, e.g., Coki Beach) and where there is some, you will see reminents of some piping sticking out of the ocean floor.

The resort unit was nice. However, if you are looking to use and oven, forget it. There is none -- only a range top, a microwave and a frig. No dishwashing machine either.

The grounds of the place are not very well kept up. The tennis courts are unusable. Some of the buildings have hurricane damage from 1995 that is yet to be repaired. TO TOP IT OFF, the pool, resturant and bar were all shut down for "repairs." Interestingly, the pool was filled back up by Wednesday and guests were not allowed to use it!

Here's the WORST PART - The staff are gererally not friendly or helpful. They seemed somewhat perturbed if you asked a question! Their favorite response is "I Don't Know" This is to questions such as - Where I can buy some beer? Where is the closest bar? How can I access the room internet? How can I access my phone messages? Can we use the BBQs on the grounds? One day, a resort staffer left me a phone message that was unintelligible. I called to ask about the message contents, no one knew who left it or why!

The ONLY person at the resort who was nice to deal with was Kimbro, the marketing director. Of course, she was in charge of trying to sell us more timeshare points.

The people of St. Thomas were not very friendly or helpful generally. If you ask a question of a native, you will generally get the "I don't know" response and the person will seem irriated.

Despite this, we did have a good time at the beach, on St. John, at Coki Beach, at Corral World and on a sunset cruise (Saphire Cruises). On a positive note, the people at Saphire were great, people on St. John were more friendly. If I went back to the USVI I would stay on St. John.

My recommendation - Don't go to this resort or to St. Thomas. Go to Hawaii -- The people are nicer, the mountains are prettier, the snorklying better, and food is cheaper!

The first thing that I want people to know/see, which is not directly associated with the club, is about the taxi driver MR. NICE GUY. DO NOT USE this driver! He tries to monopolize the Beach Club's guests, and he is a RIP OFF!!! He will overcharge! This is just a warning, so you don't get ripped off like we did.

Other than being riped off at the very end of our trip by this taxi driver, we had a nice time. Unfortunately while we were there, the pool, bar and restaurant were closed. Needless to say this was a shock, but we dealt with it. We went to the grocery store and the rooms were accomodating for cooking meals and making our own drinks. While some parts of the club needed some repair, the rooms had good air-conditioning, were clean and had everything we needed.
The beach at Bluebeard's is GREAT! The beach is clean, water is warm and it is in a good location. We spent a lot of time there (espeically with the pool closed). Also, the day trip organized through the resort to St. John's was worth our time and money.
My advise...it is the islands, things are different and go at slower pace than the States. Don't expect it to be like home. You make your vacation what you want it to be. Enjoy what you have and make the most of it.

We went on vacation with our two teenage daughters. It probably would have been a better vacation with just my husband and me. Reason? If you don't have a rental car, cabs charge per person. Depending on where you are going it's $5-$10 per person one way. We didn't get to do some activities because a $60 activity was $100 after cab fare. BE FOREWARNED...until the end of June everything is closed at the resort. We were not told the resort would be shut down...no pool, no gift shop, no restaurant, no bar, no watersports. Bring plenty of water and snacks if you arrive before Sunday. If you don't have a rental car, Sunday afternoon will be your only opportunity to go to the grocery store. A shuttle from the resort costs $12, a taxi costs $10. A shuttle does take guests a few times to the Elysian which has wonderful restaurants and bars. The Elysian pool is nice too with a little hide-a-way grotto. I have to say, the beach at Bluebeard's is much, much better. We loved the secluded-ness and unobstructed view.

This place will be much better once they get a better staff and restaurant owner...and fix the tennis court, etc. The value will probably skyrocket in the future. If it had the amenities of the Elysian, it would outrival the Elysian as a better place to stay.

Hated it, should have stayed at the Marriot. On the first day of check in the woman at the front desk was as helpful as a two year old. The resort was out of date and not kept up and if you play tennis then forget the court. The a.c. unit in the rooms were by no doubt possessed. If you were hungry and wanted to eat in the resort resturant then don't expect to eat for at least an hour once you order your food. If you have a rented vehicle don't leave anything of value like a digital camera with a week's worth of vacation photos that included wedding photos that can never be replaced in it because the resort security may be sleeping on the job allowing any criminal to come on the grounds and break out a window and steel your--!!! If you plan on spending time at he pool make sure you call in advance to see if they plan on draining it half way thruough your visit to repair and paint it.
Over all it was a pretty good vacation as long as we were not at the resort and knowing that our when we plan our next vacation to the little island that just around the corner from B.B.C.& V. we will be staying at the Marriot. Last thing, at the bottom of the review it asked if I wanted to include photos. I did but my camera was stolen out of my vehicle that was parked outside my room six day's into my vacation!

Do not under any circumstances go here! Moldy airconditioners! $12 taxi rides to get groceries. No cab ride under $50 for four people. Rude people at check in except for one.

Can you say St. Ripoff? That is what staying here is. . .a rip off!
