The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman's Reef

Reserva-ho si You want a polished, predictable Caribbean resort bubble with infinity pools and brand-name bedding, and you don't mind taking a taxi to see the real island.

Per Què Agrada Tant

  • Stunning cliffside ocean views from the lobby and pool decks
  • Signature Westin 'Heavenly Beds' are reliably comfortable
  • Access to shared amenities at the adjacent Buoy Haus resort

Vista ràpida: A beautiful corporate fortress that charges you for the privilege of being trapped on a cliff.

Revisat per @suitechanelI stayed at the newly renovated Westin in St. Thomas and it's a total game changer. The cliffside views are the best on the island, and getting access to the sister resort next door is such a steal. Plus, no passport needed! It's luxury made so easy.

The hype

Beautifully renovated property with amazing pools, but the service is hit-or-miss and the costs add up fast.

Reality check

You will feel 'nickel and dimed'—from the $34 breakfast buffet to the $25+ self-parking fee.

  • You are a Marriott Bonvoy loyalist using points
  • You want a family-friendly pool scene with a swim-up bar
  • You prefer staying on-property for dinner and drinks

Consells de Professionals

  • Walk over to the Buoy Haus resort next door for a more laid-back vibe and different dining options.
