    The room was decent but had I known all the details of the room I would have spent the extra money to upgrade. Our water view room had a nice view, but there was significant water damage on the ceiling and the television was outdated and very small. Also, there was a bar of soap left by the previous guests that remained in the shower. Ewww! That's the bad news, now the good news. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food, views, pools, access to attractions and the beach were perfect.

  • Good Experience

    We attended a convention at the hotel, but booked our rooms independently and were housed at Morningstar Beach--and enjoyed it! The room had a mini-fridge and an ice maker; housekeeping came in the morning and the evening; being close to the ocean and the pool was nice; the shuttle was dependable. The convention facilities were great and the banquet food was delicious and served with efficiency. The water taxi was convenient and fun and the scenic elevator worked every time we needed it except one afternoon. Everything was expensive--but we brought our own snacks. The views from the Hotel are magnificent and the iguanas are memorable. All in all, our 5 days at St. Thomas were delightful (except the weather was SO hot and humid!!) Being able to print (free) our airline boarding passes at the Business Center was a big help. We were glad we accidentally discovered this capability--also the soft-side cooler gift from the Vacation Club desk is nice. Other thoughts: We were not impressed with the astro-turf tennis courts. We did not buy any meals at the resort. The saleslady at Cardow's was very helpful and very patient. We enjoyed lunch twice in Charlotte Amalie at the Green Tree. We took a taxi tour of St. Thomas and a ferry and tour to St. John's.

    A few things you need to know. We"re travelers, we"re in our early 40's. We live in NY, we are use to good restaurants, a lot to do and not waiting long for anything. The resort is in the perfect spot on the island. The small ferry is a 12 minute coast across the harbor to Charlotte Amalie. Blackbeards Castle, shopping, Yacht Haven, etc.. (Does not run on Sundays) Runs every hour on the top of the hour. The resort offers 5 different places to eat. All decent food, priced OK (if you are use to traveling and dining out) Havana Blue is very expensive, great atmosphere, really nice for a special, special night. In the resort there is a market you can pick up just about anything from sandwiches, rolls in the morning, danish to vodka or a gift to bring home. They are open from 6am - 2am! Very convenient. There is also a jewlery store that has the same prices as downtown - we priced all of them. Our room was in the sea cliff wing which is situated looking over the harbor closest to St. John near the Morning Star part of the resort. Morning Star is much more private, right on the beach, but away from all resort activity just a shuttle ride away. There is a shop and a restaurant. Our room was on the 5th floor and nice. TV's are small, air conditioned leaked one day and the ceiling had some spots on it and the bed was hard. Other than that it was fine! The Resort is great for the price and more. We will be going back. Be reasonable if you want the Ritz Carlton be willing to pay for it. Go and see for yourself it will be worth it.
