If you are visiting St Thomas and want to explore, this is a great place to stay. It's close to everything you need on the Island. You may want to rent a car to get over the Island, use Amalie Car Rental, they will set you up and they are better priced than the Nationally know car rentals. This Best Western is all ocean front rooms, pool, restauant. Best rooms are on the top floor, we feel. All of the rooms are the same. Front desk is very helpful. The grounds are tropical. You can see and hear the plans in the afternoon but not at night. Sunsets are great and the water is wonderful. No fuss, simple place to stay but you should be here for the Island and not all the glitz of a New York Hotel.

We had a quick overnight stop in St.Thomas before joining a cruise. The hotel is 3 star and served our needs well. Based on some suggestions from this site we decided to walk to the hotel with our luggage but it's a lot further than it appears on Google Earth and I would not do that again.
The room was clean but there were small items amiss such as pictures falling off the wall etc. - nothing major. There was a spacious balcony overlooking the narrow stretch of beach which was very pleasant.
Had cocktails and a pasta dinner at the beach bar. Service was friendly and prompt.
Would stay here again when we are back in St. Thomas.

I was born & raised on St. Thomas, so I know every beach and most of the hotels. However, I haven't been home in a while, so this hotel was new to me. It was the perfect choice: the property is beautiful, the views from the rooms are breathtaking and the location was excellent! It's close to town, and a short drive to the east end or any beach...but why would you need to go to any other when this is literally right outside your window? I know that some people mentioned airplane noise as an issue, but I barely registered the planes coming & going. They got the vibe just right as a spot to relax, on the beach or at the bar.

Particular praise to the staff for being amazing. They were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help with requests. Giselle & Shani at the front desk; Tony, Morgan & Jebediah at the bar and beautiful ladies in the restaurant made my stay so happy that this is the only hotel I can imagine choosing for future visits.

We stayed here for one night prior to a cruise. The location was ideal for us as it was close to airport and only a couple of minutes drive to the old Crown Bay Dock where we joined our ship.The main shopping area was also quite a short cab ride away.

The hotel was a pleasantly landscaped property on a nice beach away from all the hustle and bustle. There was some sound from aircraft arriving and departing the nearby airport but it was far enough away to be relatively muted and did not bother us in the least.

The reception area was nicely finished and the staff, whilst not overly friendly, were not unpleasant and did an acceptable job. Our room was quite good for a 3 star property, it was reasonably well appointed, clean, quiet and quite comfortable.

The pool area was small but pretty with a view out over the water, the beach looked nice, as did the restaurant. We didn't try the restaurant but simply walked through it to access the bar which was tended by two cheerful and engaging bar tenders who, during our visit, were serving a lively and friendly crowd of vacationers.

We would happily stay here again and consider it to be a fairly good choice for a short vacation.

We did a fair amount of research on Charlotte Amalie hotels before coming and we concluded that none of them represented good value. If we had paid the same price for an identical hotel on the US mainland we would not have been happy, but in the context of the generally outrageous St. Thomas hotel prices, we were well satisfied.
