This hotel was significantly impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017.The hotel is currently housing relief personnel and will reopen to guests, following repairs, on January 5, 2018. At 900 feet above sea level, the Mafolie Hotel is known for its incredible island and sea views. Mafolie is a landmark hotel in St. Thomas and has been in operation since the 1940s, with many people’s grandparents having fond memories of vacationing here. A gorgeous pool area with a bar, cabanas, and loungers, as well as a popular restaurant are the highlights of the hotel. The rooms are clean and island-style but not contemporary, and you have to drive to get to any off-site dining. However, the hotel is a great value for the scenery, atmosphere, and amenities.

Opened in 2006, At Home In the Tropics Bed and Breakfast Inn is a small, four-room property in a historic part of town. Steps from Blackbeard’s Castle, the Government House, and downtown Charlotte Amalie, At Home In the Tropics has a convenient and central location. The four guest rooms are charming, bright, and well-appointed with safes, flat-screen TVs, high-end toiletries, and private bathrooms. There are plenty of common spaces and the views around the property are stunning. It is not located directly on the beach, but the beach is never far away on St. Thomas.

With only four rooms, Bellavista Bed & Breakfast is a relaxing and upscale hilltop retreat with personalized service from the owners, who live right next door. The property is charming and quaint, and the pool area, sundeck, and two of the rooms have gorgeous harbor views. The island-style decor is whimsical and fun, yet tasteful, and quirky touches such as a cactus garden give the property character and personality. Breakfast is one of the best parts of the stay – it’s two courses and feels decadent but still healthy. It’s hard to find fault in this small, quaint property.

Windward Passage Hotel was tragically impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. The hotel is completely closed until March 2018, and we will update our review as soon as we know more. The three-pearl Windward Passage Hotel is a mid-range option in the heart of downtown Charlotte Amalie. The city’s tourist-friendly waterfront district -- with shopping, dining, and the ferry terminal -- is within a five- to 10-minute walk of the hotel. The architecture and decor are a curious mix of dated and modern, and most of the features -- from the tiny pool, small fitness room, and dark restaurant -- are forgettable. The 151 rooms are modern-ish, but mismatched, with lots of patterns and colors alongside amenities like mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and Juliet balconies with (optional) water views. The slightly pricier Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas provides a beachfront alternative with similar amenities at lower rates.

This property did not sustain significant damage during Hurricane Irma or Hurricane Maria and has reopened to guests, though travelers should note that St. Thomas was significantly impacted by the storms. On an island replete with pricey, over-the-top resorts, Galleon House Bed & Breakfast is a distinct departure. Situated in downtown Charlotte Amalie, this budget option makes it easy to reach surrounding restaurants, shops, and attractions, though guests will need to manage their expectations. There isn't much here aside from a small pool and a breakfast-only dining area, and most of the 14 well-kept rooms are barebones, with nothing more than flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning. Upgraded rooms offer mini-fridges and balconies with lovely city or water views, though other rooms have no windows. The lack of free Wi-Fi and on-street parking may discourage some, and those willing to spend a bit more will find a better-appointed, waterfront alternative at the nearby Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas.

This property was impacted by Hurricane Irma and Maria in September 2017. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The two-and-a-half-pearl Pavilions and Pools Villa Hotel is a laid-back apartment-style hotel, less than a three-minute drive west of St. Thomas’ Red Hook ferry terminal and a six-minute walk to Lindquist Beach. The hotel consists of 25 privately owned and individually designed vacation villas, with full kitchens, flat-screen TVs, separate living or dining areas, and private outdoor terraces with barbecue grills and pools. Aside from a small, seasonal restaurant, there are no communal amenities and the lack of a social vibe makes this a fit for independent travelers, though the lack of free Wi-Fi is a bummer. For something equally simple, but with a more modern style, travelers should consider Two Sandals By The Sea Inn, which has similar rates but where rooms lack kitchens.

Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort was significantly impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017. The resort is currently closed for repairs and plans to reopen in 2019. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. Situated on a dramatic, rocky peninsula overlooking Morningstar Bay, Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort has some of the most stunning sea views in St. Thomas. The four-pearl resort includes four restaurants, four bars, a modern spa, and two hilltop infinity pools with excellent bay views. The 453 island-style rooms are pleasant, and feature large, flat-screen HDTVs, free Wi-Fi, and private balconies -- most also offer water views. The pricey, mediocre food, exorbitant, mandatory resort fee -- and fact that the beach is open to paying cruise ship passengers -- are all disappointing. However, guests likely won’t find much else to fault the property for. For something more intimate in the east end of St. Thomas, it's worth considering Sugar Bay Resort & Spa, though rates will be higher.

Following the impact of Hurricane Irma in September 2017, this property is open with limited amenities and housing guests in need of lodging. They plan to open for leisure guests in February 2018. We will update our review as soon as we know more. Located right outside of the airport gates, the Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas (formerly Best Western Carib Beach) is a convenient and affordable accommodation option, especially for travelers staying a short time or continuing on to another destination. The rooms are typical of a mid-range hotel -- basic but functional with coffeemakers, hairdryers, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel went through extensive renovations in 2014 and newer bathrooms as well as upgrades to the pool, restaurant, and grounds are apparent. The on-site restaurant, Oceanside Bistro, is surprisingly good and the bar area is lively. However, the beach is small and you can’t swim there.

This property sustained damage during Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017 and is closed for repairs until January 1, 2018. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. The Emerald Beach Resort has distinctive upgrades from its neighbor, Lindbergh Bay Hotel and Villas. This mid-range property has a lot to offer, including a beautiful beachfront with turquoise blue water, a fitness center, an on-site restaurant and bar, and a large pool. The 90 rooms have a few slightly dated tropical touches (floral curtains, bamboo furniture) but updates included flat-screen TVs, modern bathrooms, and iPod docks; all units have outdoor space and face the beach. The hotel’s location right next to the airport may be a deterrent for some, as plane traffic noise can be heard throughout the day.
