We are going to be staying one night on St. Thomas at the tail-end of a vacation on St. John. We are considering Emerald Beach Resort and Carib Beach Resort - both are close to the airport, waterfront, and not terribly expensive. Does anyone have an opinion as to which is the nicest and why? Thanks for your help!
We stayed a week at the Emerald in August and really enjoyed it. The pool is beautiful and the beach is so close. The rooms are large with a nice private balcony. I didn't see Carib. Beach up close, but it didn't seem to have much of a beach at all. The hotel itself looked OK. The food at the Emerald is good, though a bit overpriced. There is a free continental breakfast that was very good with a large selection of foods. everything was really clean. Have a great time!
Susan, the information you sent was great! Thank you so much! We will be making reservations at Emerald Beach Resort within the week. Thanks again! Linda
Hi There,
You picked the right place. The word about Carib right now is that it has closed until December. A decision will be made then about re-opening.
Hello Schultz. You very kindly helped me with all kinds of information on where to stay for a night or two on STT after a week on STJ. You had also sent me some great pics of the Crystal Palace. I told you that I would let you know what we finally decided to do and after procrastinating for a couple of months (I blame it on the holidays) we finally made a move. I ended up going on Priceline and getting a room at the Renaissance Grand Beach Resort for 75.00 a night. (our trip is mid February) I think it's a really great deal and hubby will be happy that we are staying in a resort vs a B&B. Now,Schultz, any suggestions for a great special dinner out? I don't care about "linen and candles", but I sure do appreciate a view. Thanks again for everything.
