Stay @ The Ritz - user review
I recently stayed at the Marriott Frenchman's Reef in St. Thomas and I'm still reeling from the disappointment of this trip. This particular Marriott is a three star hotel at best. The rooms on the first floor were absolutely horrendous. The smell of raw sewerage was prevalent throughout most of the...

One of the most beautiful resorts I’ve ever stayed at. - user review
IF you want to stay at a resort on St. Thomas, this is the best one on the island. And it it's worth every penny. The hotel is set on a cliff on a penisula overlooking both the ocean and the harbor.
