Island View has a great view and we had a nice, clean room with a comfy bed, cooling heat pump, microwave and fridge. Great space to sit near the pool, too. Not so good: no bath soap (only smelly hand soap), no glasses, no way to bring ice to your room except in a small glass from the self-serve bar, stones in floor of shower are loose and gather in the drain, no restaurant (we learned on arrival that it had closed), and a skimpy breakfast of two small slices of watermelon, two small sausages and two waffles. In short, it’s not nearly as good as when we stayed here a few years ago.

Husband and I had a very nice visit. We liked that it was small and private-feeling. We think you really need to rent a car to stay here; taking cabs would (probably - we didn't do it!) be so onerous and limiting. Our room was great and just like the pictures. We loved the balcony and appreciated the A/C and mini-kitchen.

Stayed here for a 4 night stay and truly enjoyed this quaint, quiet gem up the mountain. We dined at the on-site restaurant our first night and that was an incredible experience all it's own. All of the staff, from Eileen the manager, to the owner's Libby and Marshall, were extremely friendly and made our stay very pleasant. Free breakfast is offered every morning on the open air terrace and is a great way to start each morning with incredible views. Our room was small but cozy (Room #4), would definitely stay here again but would opt for a larger room with a more unobstructed view of the bay, but this is just a minor inconvenience and we enjoyed our stay all the same. Parking can be a bit tricky so us having a small economy car as a rental was helpful to maneuver around the small space provided for cars. Highly recommend this place to stay when visiting the island!

The pros: The pool is lovely and quiet. There is a nice little area to grab a beer or a drink after a long day that works on an honor system. Eileen, the hostess/receptionist, is very kind. Plenty of clean towels provided and the housekeeping was adequate. The cons: The room that we stayed in was stark and cold with limited room for luggage and seating. We had 4 suitcases but there was only one small luggage rack and no furniture with any drawers so we had to use the only two chairs in the room as luggage racks. As far as the neighborhood, there is nowhere to walk to from here. The hotel is located up a long, steep driveway and is a few miles from stores and restaurants. There is a road below the hotel where there is constant honking of horns as the cars drive by and lots of roosters crowing day and night. We could hear our neighbor's conversations, sneezes, coughs, snoring through the walls, so that was a big turnoff for us. Not a bad place, but we would not go back mainly due to the room feeling cold and uninviting.

My daughter and I stayed at this property nestled on Crown Mountain last week. It felt so homey and more like a bed and breakfast with the care that they put into the intimate details and personal touches. The common open area (which also serves as the dining area) was a vibe - from the ecclectic decor and books to the music choices, and the views of St. Thomas were breathtaking. Libby and Marshall were great, and Eileen (of their staff), was such a sweetheart. She went over and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. Our room was very spacious, clean and charming. The restaurant had great food as well. Be warned, that there are lots of stairs on the property, so it may not be optimal for those who have accessibility issues, but overall, I'd highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay there again.

This is a lovely family run hotel in the hills above the town with fantastic views across the island. Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the pool and the iguanas in the nearby treetops. Breakfast was great and the honesty bar was well stocked. Thank you to Eileen for running us in to town and to the airport, very kind of you. We would love to return and have no hesitation in recommending this little gem of a hotel in beautiful surroundings.

Lovely little boutique resort. This hidden gem offers personalized service above that of a 5 star hotel. Something you notice upon arrival. The hosts are also the owners, and have put together the subtleties of home in a charming atmosphere overlooking St Thomas Harbor and Crown Bay. On the dining level you can relax with an open bar cocktail and play Chinese Checkers or read one of the many books, from 1 of many book caches located throughout the resort. Dinner in the open Caribbean air is enchanting, and the menu choices were delicious. Breakfast is complementary. The rooms are well kept; each having its own unique character. Each offering a microwave, refrigerator and smart tv. Comfortable beds are made daily with quality linens and quilted bedspreads. Probably not the best place for wheelchair mobility but you can get around with limited mobility. Whether you’ve come to stay or just for dinner, you will always remember this place.
