Top Great Cruz Bay Hotel Reviews

Villa Island Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in a great location where you could walk into Cruz Bay for shopping and restaurants. It had all the amenities that you needed."

St John Inn

8/10 Good

"Decent breakfast provided. Egg o waffles, packaged english muffins and bagels. Fruit or yogurt would have been a nice addition. Wonderful that they allowed us to use beach equipments- chairs, toys, cooler, towels. Patio was nice to eat at (there are cats that hang around however). Clean, close to the grocery stores and the ferry. Nice pool."

Argonauta: Spectacular Ocean Views, Privacy and Luxury - Minutes from town

10/10 Excellent

"You cannot beat the views from Argonauta - every morning, every day and every evening was absolutely stunning! The villa itself is gorgeous and luxurious. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook, grill, etc. Though it doesn’t mention it in the listing and fortunately we didn’t need to use it, the house does have a back-up generator, so you can rest easy with some of the island’s unpredictable electricity issues. Our group of 7 loved every second of our stay there and we would highly recommend it!"

Sunset Beach: Beachfront Villa! Pool! Hot Tub!

6/10 Okay

"We travel to St John on a yearly basis. We picked this house because of the waterfront access, the hot tub and the pool. There was some confusion at our arrival, however, we are familiar enough with the island that we were able to find the house ourselves. We were welcomed with a lovely basket of snacks, beverages and some necessities. The house was clean, the beds were comfy. Unfortunately, things went downhill after that. After a long day of traveling and a recent back injury I headed to the hot tub. It wasn’t working properly and wasn’t heating. I called first thing in the am. Was told someone would come out. When we returned to the house that evening the pool had turned green, hot tub still not fixed. The following am was Sunday, nobody answered or returned any of my calls. On the third day workers came and spent the entire day fixing everything.This was an expensive property to rent. I was very disappointed. It is an older home in need of maintenance. There were numerous other small things that needed attention as well. Out of a five day stay I spent the first three days dealing with these problems."

Secluded Oceanfront Villa with pool and incredible view! Welcome to Paradise!

10/10 Excellent

"We had everything we needed to cook any meal. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We really loved the outdoor showers! Parking was a non-issue. The pool and view were amazing! Honestly, the perfect space and location for two couples. "

Poi Pu St John - Great Views, Total Privacy & Tesla Solar Backup System

6/10 Okay

"The property was clean and had a great deck with amazing views. The location was great- far enough from the traffic in Cruz Bay, but close enough that it took less than 10 minutes to get to restaurants, the grocery store, etc. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Communication with the host was good and she was very responsive. However, communication with the property manager wasn’t great- the directions to get there were not accurate based on where we were coming from and it took several calls and us driving around and around to figure out where to go. The front door stuck badly and took multiple tries to open and close. There was only AC in the two bedrooms and loft got really hot, so our son had to move downstairs and share the other bedroom. The couch in the living room was stained and very uncomfortable. Also, be aware that there is only 1 shower for the whole house- we didn’t realize this as the listing showed 2 bathrooms. There were two shower heads in said shower, but only one of them would allow hot water to come out. And due to the fact that there is only AC in the bedrooms, the bathrooms were very stuffy and hot. Lack of central AC may be the case for most houses in St. John, but as this was our first time there, I can’t say for sure."

New rental, Newly Renovated 3br/2ba - open main room/beautiful view/large pool

4/10 Poor

"Great location, beautiful setting, very private and lots of space. So many things we loved. Many we did not. Oven did not work, ice maker did not work. Did have lots of little details most do not. Pool fills daily with leaves. Lots of work to use for a short time. We had to clean it twice daily. Large trees filled with large birds crapping all over the deck and seating areas. Lots! Lots of bugs that needed to be cleaned daily. Quick contact with mgr but he would never show. Blew us off several days. Never showed up. Doors did not lock but we felt safe. Overall we liked our time. "
