This property was impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. We will update our review when we have more information. This tiny mid-range bed-and-breakfast with a tropical feel is located near downtown Cruz Bay. As it has only three rooms, owners John and Nancy are able to offer personal, attentive service to all guests and serve some of the most delicious breakfasts on the island. Each room is individually decorated, but all have a cozy feel with island-inspired decor -- think mosaic tile, mosquito nets, and outdoor showers. Along with free breakfast, Garden by the Sea offers free beach chairs, towels, coolers, and snorkel equipment for guests to borrow during their stay. There’s no pool or beach, not uncommon for small hotels in St. John. Guests are asked to conserve water and electricity during their stay, which may not appeal to all travelers. Those looking for similar, less expensive accommodations should check out nearby Treetops.

This hotel was impacted by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria in September 2017. The hotel is currently not accepting reservations through the end of 2017, and we will update our review as soon as we know more. A real stunner in the heart of Cruz Bay, Grande Bay Resort is an upscale all-suite hotel where most rooms have full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, and high-end finishes. Guests staying here have easy access to all of the shops, restaurants, and bars nearby, but Grande Bay’s proximity to downtown means it’s prone to occasional nighttime noise. Though the hotel sits directly across from Cruz Bay Beach, it’s not exactly swimmable due to all of the boats moored in the water. As far as amenities are concerned, there’s a gorgeous saltwater pool and hot tub on the hotel’s second floor deck, along with an oceanfront fitness center, and freebies like garage parking and Wi-Fi. It’s worth comparing prices with nearby Gallows Point Resort, which has a more secluded setting and nicer views.

Gallows Point Resort is an upper-middle-range hotel with 60 apartment-style units. Situated on the very tip of Cruz Bay, Gallows Point offers stunning views of both the harbor and St. Thomas, and is a 10-minute walk to restaurants. Rooms are individually owned and decor varies drastically from unit to unit -- some look like modern Manhattan lofts while others look like 1980s Jersey Shore rentals. There are a nice oceanfront pool, multiple sun decks, and a small beach, but the shore is rocky and the water can be rough for swimming. Amenities like free transportation to and from the ferry terminal and pre-arrival food provisioning services set Gallows apart from other hotels in the area, but it’s worth checking prices at nearby Grande Bay Resort, which is more family-friendly and has nicer rooms.

Coconut Coast Villas is a small, mid-range property with accommodations ranging from studios to mutli-bedroom apartments. Rooms are spacious, if a bit dated, and all offer picture-perfect ocean views from their large balconies. Because it’s not in downtown Cruz Bay, the hotel is quiet, and there’s not much going on around the tiny pool or rocky beach. It’s peaceful, but perhaps too quiet and bland for some. The nearby St. John Inn has more personality and cheaper nightly rates, but rooms are smaller and it’s not on the beach.

Situated about a 10-minute walk from downtown Cruz Bay, the adult-only Estate Lindholm offers boutique accommodations on the site of a lovely, 18th-century estate. The lush, green landscaping and remnants of the original buildings provide a feeling of elegance, seclusion, and historic charm. The 16 homey, island-style rooms have free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and private balconies. The water views from many of its rooms are stunning, and they're also available from the intimate pool and garden terrace. The simple continental breakfast is free, and the owner often stops by during the meal for a chat. There's also a humble massage room. Travelers who would prefer to stay right in downtown Cruz Bay should consider the quaint Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel -- rooms are smaller, though it will be cheaper.

Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel is a 10-room, mid-range boutique hotel located in the center of Cruz Bay. The hotel is within a short walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants, and the St. John ferry port. Each of the 10 rooms here is tiny and simply furnished with all-white decor and distressed wood details. The hotel serves free continental breakfast each morning and offers free Wi-Fi, but there’s no pool and no beach views. Travelers looking for larger rooms and a pool should check out St. John Inn, which offers comparable nightly rates but is a bit farther from town.

This hotel was impacted by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. Perhaps the most colorful hotel in Cruz Bay, St. John Inn is a 10-room boutique hotel that offers some of the cheapest nightly rates on the island (which can still be quite expensive during the high season). Each of the 10 rooms are individually decorated and surprisingly spacious for such a tiny hotel. While the hotel is not on the beach, there is a teeny tiny pool and lots of freebies, like daily breakfast and happy hour, beach gear, and Wi-Fi. Like many small hotels on the island, St. John Inn urges guests to conserve water and electricity, as both are precious resources on the island. Those who prefer to be right in town should compare rates with Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel -- but you'll lose the pool found here.
