Hotels Near Shades of Blue Charters in Saint Thomas

This time I stayed in an executive suite. The room was very clean. The sofa bed in the living room was 1.5 meters in size. The bed in the bedroom was very large. There were many tables, coffee tables and sofas in the room. There were balconies in the living room and bedroom, which was very suitable for a family trip. The hotel has a private beach. Although it is not big, it is better to go to the public beach outside. The hotel's own restaurants are okay, but it's best to book in advance. We stayed for four nights and went directly to Aloro Italian Restaurant on the first night and was told that tables would only be available at 9 o'clock. I made a reservation in advance for the next day, but it was only available at 9 o'clock for the next three days. I had to give up this restaurant and ate at several other restaurants. We went on a sunset cruise at the hotel. The scenery was beautiful. After eating the snacks and sandwiches provided on the boat, there was no need for dinner if you have a small appetite.

This was our 4th stay at St John Inn since 2020. We have done one night stays and multi-night stays. This time we were there for our last night of an 18 day visit so we could have a night in Cruz Bay and be close to the ferry for departure. We had to turn in a rental car so we arrived early, around 10:00 am. Courtesy rental is just a few steps away and is our go-to for rentals after many years of visiting the island. Our room was open so the office manager for the day, Fredna, accommodated our very early check-in and even offered breakfast and helped me move bags to the room. We met the property manager, Donna, who was helping guests make reservations and helping guests plan activities, even on her “day off”. All the staff was amazing and we enjoyed a day of lounging by the pool to relax after a long trip. We stayed in the Hart Bay room (111), which is a standard room that is accessed from the office area. The room was very clean. We had a mini fridge and microwave which was perfect for preparing a light lunch to eat by the pool. We have also stayed in the Honeymoon room (120), the Cruz Bay room, and the 2 BR suite with shared bath. All the rooms are unique, but consistently decorated in a colorful, Caribbean style. They also have excellent WiFi throughout the property :).

This small family run hotel nestled high on the hills of Saint Thomas is a delightful maze of rooms and outdoor spaces, in a great location overlooking Charlotte Amalie and turquoise Caribbean waters. It’s easy to walk to the shopping areas of town and if you don’t feel like walking during the day there is often a taxi driver on site. One of the friendliest, most service oriented hotels I’ve stayed in recently. There is a restaurant on site for dinner, serving delicious food and drinks and breakfast is included in your hotel room rate. A convenience store is across the street. The bed was very comfortable, the air conditioning worked very well, and there was plentiful hot water. As a senior traveler I felt very safe and cared about here. This is my new go to place in Saint Thomas and I highly recommend it. My thanks to Anita, Laverne and Thomas for taking such great care of me and making me feel so welcome.

The hotel is in a great location, halfway up the mountain, with a wide view and beautiful views of the bay; we booked the bangalow, which has a large room but relatively few bathrooms.
