My wife and I have been to Point Pleasant twice, April 2001 and November 2003.

Point Pleasant Resort as the name implies, is not a resort by American standards. It is a eco-friendly group of timeshare condos that are rented out by a management company. The grounds are a lush, steap hillside with pleanty of agave, trees, and wildlife with some interesting trails. Point Plesant is a the only property of it's type in the area.

The managment will not book a specific room for you until you arrive, they will only hold a slot for you on the property. The first time we arrived, the only room available had no windows, I'm not kidding! The room was free for the first night and they put us in a nice room with a beautiful view of St. John, Jost Van Dyke and the other BVI's the next morning.

Point Pleasant's ocean view is about the best the USVI's have to offer. No other hotel will offer this view for the price.

The staff is not there for customer service, they are there to maintain the property and offer menial assistance, be it at a slow pace. The slow pace is indiginous of the island, anywhere you go, pack your sense of humor when visiting.

That said, Point Pleasant is perfect for the budget concious explorer type. Remember, these are basically apartments with a couple of good resteraunts located within.

My suggestion is to use Point Pleasant as a gateway to St John, St Croix and the BVI's for daytrips via the nearby Red Hook Marina. St. Thomas really doesn't offer much at all for the well travelled. Actually, we leave St. Thomas at the first chance and head straight for St John and beyond.

Bottom line, inexpensive, no frills, EXCELLENT LOCATION, BEAUTIFUL VIEW, clean, quiet with three very nice, little used pools, staff - "One Star", except the bell hop guy, he's OK.

If you don't stay at this property, do stay on the east end of the island.

Feel free to contact my email for addtional tips about the area.

My girlfriend and I booked Point Pleasant thru USAir's website as a package deal. We stayed for a week in July 2004. We got room F14 down by Fungi's Restaurant. It had no view and smelled like human sewage! We hiked back up to the front desk and complained. They moved us up the hill to E15 where we had a view and no bad smells! After that our stay was awesome. I would stay there again as long as I could assure which room we got, possibly speaking to the front desk first.

We enjoyed it because it was quiet, the view was gorgeous, and you could walk to the beach. Also the cooking and kitchen facilities were nice so we didn't have to eat out so much. Nice staff, too.

Wow we just loved this resort, all buldings are built into a cliff, the views could not be beat. The room was large and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. We had reservations at the frenchmans reef, but then my husband and son sheduled a deep sea fishing trip so we needed a kitchen to cook all the fish they caught. Yum it was delicious. Traveling with two teens one room with two double beds would not have worked well for us. These rooms at point pleasant were very large, and the balcony could have held 25 people. We were there for 5 nights, and everyday had activities planned, we fished , took the Breakaway yacht trip to the Baths...awesome and fun, went to St. johns and went horseback riding, shopped and partied at Bolongo Bay for thier carribean carnavale. So a super nice luxury resort would have been a waste of money for us. The sunrises were amazing!!! The drawbacks are the hikes if you don't like hiking, we did, but a few times, when we were tired, we just called up for a shuttle those times, and we never waited more then 3 mins from Fungis. The resort is being redone, and they have sold some units as condos, it needs some cosmetic updating on the outside. It had once a beautiful nature trail through the natural flora and fauna that must have been beautiful, now just a mere glimpse of what it once was, hopfully they continue to work on restoring this tropical resort to what it once was. Yes you do have to hike it up and down from the beach, but our unit was a-16 and it was right next to taxis, and pool,it was a hike down and back up from Fungis and the Beach, Fungis was an awesome place we just loved it, we also kayacked and jetskied, Coki beach ,an awesome place and the local hang out, had excellent snorkeling and was a short walk from point pleasant, they feed the fish right thier at coral world so snorkiling was cool. There are bars and venders and restrooms right there, I could have spent the whole week there. all the food we ate was great thanks to all the reviews I read on these boards. I want to go back. Special mention the shopping at charlotte amalie was so cool , eat at Gladys, and enjoy the architecture, I bought a beautiful braclet and just had it appraised for all most twice as much as i paid, wow , I'm happy. Molly Molones at Red Hook also a delightful delicious place to eat and they are open for breakfast. We took taxis everywhere it was great no problems just ask how much before you get in, they give you a sheet at the front desk telling taxi fares from here to there, so you won't get ripped off.Just want to add the Island people could not have been sweeter, and if we go back, sure we will it will be mainly because of the people, they were just so cool, we loved conversing with them all. Thank you St Thomas for the best vacation we have ever had.

It's the perfect getaway..... Nice and quiet, sitting high up on the hills. The staff at Fungi's is like family, they to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. The food and drinks is GREAT. Within walking distance of CORAL WORLD. It was my first time at POINT PLEASANT & I will recommend it to my friends, family and you. My suite was very spacious with seperate living and bedroom and a fully equip kitchen........ 5 STARS in my book......You can't please everyone,only try. I was very very pleased and satisfied.....Thank you to the staff at Point Pleasant for making my stay a trip to remember............

Just returned from a 5 night stay at the Point Pleasant. It was wonderful. Very private...almost like being in our own beach house. Our unit (E-3) was a junior suite, big enough for 2, and was very clean. Maid service was great. I can't imagine anyone complaining about this resort. The views were awesome, staff friendly, but not overly so. Fungi's was fun, and the food was good. Didn't eat at Agave. One word of advice...rent a car!! We were apprehensive about it at first, but we soon got used to driving on the left, and it's very easy to find your way around. Be sure to go and get your free snorkeling equipment next door. You get to keep it for your entire stay. Unfortunately we didn't realize we could do this till a couple of days into our stay. It's an easy walk to Coki Beach, and the snorkeling there was wonderful. I highly recommend Point Pleasant for a truly special vacation.
