10/10 Excellent

Secret Harbour will be our go-to for our much needed getaways from life! Everything was perfect. Even the groceries we arranged for delivery were put away before our arrival and drinks were put in the fridge for us. That said a lot! The beach was pristine and the snorkeling was just breathtaking. The resorts beach hosted many beautiful reefs which had tons of beautiful fish. The best was the huge angel fish which was always in the same little cove. Just amazing. The scenery was spectacular....

Buoy Haus Beach Resort St. Thomas, Autograph Collection

St. Thomas

10/10 Excellent

The property is beautiful, relaxing and secluded. You cannot walk anywhere from this property and that is a small inconvenience. Cab ride is $20 for two people to downtown each way. The food at the property is just ok, so go downtown to eat. The majority of the staff is great with the exception of a few restaurant workers. Bring small bills for tips, they don’t make change on the property. Overall we had a great time and got what we came for. We will absolutely go back!

Absolutely GORGEOUS property! The plants, trees, and vegetation throughout the property are a sight to be seen. The distance to the beach is perfect and love the two bars and restaurants located close by as they do not offer on demand room service. Pro tip is that you need to rent a car in order to stay here unless you want to only be at this property and not leave. Last tip - bring extra snacks and drinks because it’s impossible to get anything there after 9pm! Overall an amazing place to...

The hotel was great. Shuttles were quick to get to your room. We barely left the resort because they had everything available there. Plus the grocery store was only a 5 minute walk if that from the resort. Shuttle and staff members got to know our names. We had the same staff member for dinner every night. The only issue we had was with the concierge. They need a sign in sheet because we waited to book a week long excursions but on two separate occasions the concierge called someone up after we...
