Perfect location, great on-site restaurant, wonderful staff.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed May 16, 2021
Just came back. This is perfect location - close enough to walk to shops, ferry, restaurants, etc, but not so close it is noisy. Wonderful on-site restaurant with creative and delicious meals, great views of sunset, friendliest wait staff who make the dining experience special and memorable. Nicest bell men ever, so helpful. Spent many hours at the pool/hot tub/beach part of resort. Loved the peacocks and iguanas roaming the grounds! Because the room had a full kitchen, we were able to make our breakfasts and pack lunches for our adventures. This was our second stay at Gallows, and we will go back again.

We are repeat guests to Gallows and haven't been in over 5 years since the hurricanes. We were so very happy to be back and see the improvements made to the pool area and our villa was impeccably clean, comfortable and well stocked with all of the comforts of home. The staff are just as friendly, hard-working and helpful as we remembered. This was the best 10 days ever for us and we have already booked our return visit in October. Love this place!

This was our families first visit to St. John’s and we stayed here at the recommendation of friends. The property is a short walk to town enabling easy visits to the restaurants and bars. We asked for an upstairs water view and they didn’t disappoint. The views were amazing. The pool is not crowded and the walk out swimming ramp for the ocean is fun. The rooms are simple and TVs small but if your looking to chill this is the spot. We have stayed at five star and high end resorts and this is not one of those. This is not a negative but it’s simple. No room service or bar to grab drinks for the pool but that’s not what this island is about. We loved staying here.

Room tip: The harbor view rooms are as food as ocean views but cheaper

Gallows Point is located on a quiet peninsula, within walking distance to Cruz Bay and its restaurants, shops and bars. My family and I stayed in three upper level, harbor view units, which were all spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. While the grounds and rooms are beautiful, what we love most about Gallows Point is its location and staff. Located on the southwest side of St. John, it's a perfect mid-way point to all of the island's incredible hiking trails and beaches. This trip was originally scheduled as a birthday celebration in 2020, which was sadly cancelled due to Covid 19. The staff at Gallows Point went above and beyond to help us rebook for this year. My family and I had a much needed and amazing vacation. Thank you, Gallows Point! We'll be back!

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our 6 night stay in 5B at GP, a lower level ocean view unit. I think the first thing that people should understand about GP is that it is more a condo association than a "resort." Each unit is individually owned, so the decor and level of updatedness (not a word, I know, lol) will vary. Our unit was very clean but like others, felt a little dark with dark wood cabinets and brown rattan furniture. Second, because it is not a "resort" there are not such amenities as breakfast or lunch served at the lovely on-site restaurant. There is no drink or food service at all on the waterfront or pool areas. They do have daily maid service, a gym and a helpful staff at the gift/coffee shop who also serve as concierges to help you arrange excursions and jeep rental etc.

Lastly, people need to understand that there is only a small, rocky beach although the resort is waterfront and the views are fantastic! We really liked snorkling and swimming at the resort but understand that the world class beaches that St John is known for are a taxi ride away. Easy to get a taxi from the center of town to any beaches for $5 or $7 per person.

Since we understood all of this, we were very happy with our stay with the exception of one thing: the rooster(s) who wander the island and woke me up morning after morning. I understand that there is very little GP can do about the roosters but be forewarned if you are a light sleeper and perhaps bring earplugs. When I commented on the roosters to the friendly front desk staff, they were kind enough to send a bottle of Cava to our unit with an nice note. I did sleep better that night : )

We'd happily return to Gallows Point (with ear plugs!) until our all time favorite, Caneel Bay opens back up!

Room tip: Units with ocean view will be quieter as the harbor view will have ferry and boat noise.

Thanks for your detailed review! We appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the resort with others, it will surely be helpful to those who haven't stayed with us before. We are SO sorry the island roosters disturbed your sleep! We are looking into how we can remove them from the property without them coming right back and will hopefully find an animal-friendly solution soon so our light sleepers can sleep in peace.

Loved our stay at Gallows Point Resort, the staff was attentive and the rooms were very clean. We were a group of 4 girls and we stayed 3 nights in a harbor view upper. We had ample room, as there was a king bed upstairs with a half bath, and a queen sofa bed downstairs and a full bath. The sofa bed was uncomfortable and the staff was very accommodating and brought a rollaway bed over.
There is a full kitchen including all dish ware and utensils.

The view from our room was spectacular (we stayed in 13D) and had a very large balcony with outdoor seating. The location of this resort is VERY convenient, less than a 5 minute walk to all the restaurants, bars, and boat dock.

There is one Pool and jacuzzi, although I wish there were more jacuzzis as it can fill up rather quickly. There is ocean access from the pool area, but no beach.

Honeymoon beach (my favorite beach on the island) is a 30 min hike from the hotel if you take the Lind point trail. We did this one morning and it was well worth it!

The hotel is not very luxurious but perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. Considering that there aren’t many options on St. John in the 5 star range, this is definitely still nice enough.
