This is a lovely family run hotel in the hills above the town with fantastic views across the island. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the pool and the iguanas in the nearby treetops. Breakfast was great and the honesty bar was well stocked. Thank you to Eileen for running us in to town and to the airport, very kind of you. We would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending this little gem of a hotel in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely little boutique resort. This hidden gem offers personalized service above that of a 5 star hotel. Something you notice upon arrival. The hosts are also the owners, and have put together the subtleties of home in a charming atmosphere overlooking St Thomas Harbor and Crown Bay. On the dining level you can relax with an open bar cocktail and play Chinese Checkers or read one of the many books, from 1 of many book caches located throughout the resort. Dinner in the open Caribbean air is enchanting, and the menu choices were delicious. Breakfast is complementary. The rooms are well kept; each having its own unique character. Each offering a microwave, refrigerator and smart tv. Comfortable beds are made daily with quality linens and quilted bedspreads. Probably not the best place for wheelchair mobility but you can get around with limited mobility. Whether you’ve come to stay or just for dinner, you will always remember this place.

I have to mention first, Dinner at the island guesthouse was amazing! We stayed for 8 days and couldn't have had a nicer stay. marshall (Michelin cook/host) and Libby were so nice and accommodating when it came to breakfast and anything else. The honor bar system was so clutch during late nights when most places are closed; they have a great bar selection, and the pina colada mix was a-1. Hopefully my review makes sense because there are so many good things to point out about staying here. Marshall and Libby were great hosts with great conversation and a welcoming relaxed vibe; they gave us insight to the inner workings on the island as potential property owners. But by far the best things I've experienced on this trip was dinner prepared by Marshall at their in-house steak restaurant (Tues-Sat only). Dinner was great but the standout of the entire night was most definitely the "Smoked Tomato Caesar Salad" w/little gems, pecorino, breadcrumbs, fish sauce. This dressing needs to be bottled and sold immediately; amazing! give me 14 of them right now lol! The smokey tomato flavor, the slight saltiness of the fish sauce, it was perfect. Tomato in Caesar was a super genius creation. Not to forget, the Swordfish Katsu Bites w/sriracha, scallions, and housemade furikake, like what!!!?! The crunch, the flavor, the texture, the everything! No salt, pepper or any kind of condiments needed when they are cooking. And their was Ube Cheesecake! I ran out characters but so much more to say

Enjoyed our stay at this quiet, beautiful property. The guest room was so comfortable and the check in process very simple. The owners are onsite and made our entire experience so wonderful! The food was exceptional and enjoyed from the beautiful breezeway overlooking the ocean. An honor bar and lounge area were welcoming as well. We will be back!

Requires taxi for all transportation. Nothing within walking distance for example beaches, restaurants, grocery stores or convenient stores. $30-$40 per trip to and fro. It is located in the hills very steep one way roads. Taxi dropped us off several times requiring walk up steep driveway. This is not for someone with a wheelchair, handicap or difficulty walking.

Ms. Libby and Mr. Marshall were perfect hosts. I'm so glad i met them. I booked the last room in Jan, for my stay in May for St. Thomas Carnival 2024! The overall experience was an awesome one. Our 2nd time on the island, the first time we were with a group of 12, this time with 2. I was nervous with us being on the island without much knowledge of those we met the 1st time, but this time around we met friends for life. Everyone we met was so friendly. We stayed in Room #2. Awesome view!! Directly in front of the pool. Directly under the upstairs eating area. One of the reasons why i booked was the "free breakfast" option which is very hard to find. Ms. Libby helped us with finding affordable/ trustworthy transportation. I'm so very grateful for that. Food was good, they offered dinner Thu-Sat evenings, which is a plus. Our room was comfortable and clean. My sister mentioned that the Netflix didn't work, i didn't try using it. In comparisons to my 1st visit on the island, i had virtually NO service, with and without using the provided wifi. Not sure if it had anything to do with Carnival, but if thats something you're concerned about on your relaxing vacation... then so be it. Overall, awesome experience. Can't wait to stay and visit again. Ms. Libby and Mr. Marshall, you two and your staff are quite wonderful. You're doing awesome with your new ownership of the property. Keep up the good work and continue being positive amongst the negativity. Until we meet again...

Well where do I start? Walked the the bathroom it was a plunger with old toilet paper from the last time it was used. This made the smell in the bathroom horrible. Staff did come in when we were not there and washed the plunger off. My fiancee discovered a blood stain in the towel after using it. Staff said it wasn't blood, but a stain. If you wash a garment with blood on it doesn't it turn into a stain?The AC unit barley blew out any air. Our intention when we got there were to book the room for another 2 days. I'm so glad we waited until we got there. Of course we didn't book the other 2 days. We went to bluebeards Castle and it was such a relief.
