Well not sure where to start, not too many options for the food. Service was ok. However the bell boys, front desk they were excellent helping out. There were only two restaurants and food options are minimum. We were not notified about earth worms and sandflies. Sandflies are bad, I got bit by them terribly and don't even know how long this will take to feel better. There are bumps all over my body. I don't think I will ever come back to St. Thomas.

Must Stay!!
Beautiful property and service was excellent everywhere, starting from the interaction: Chris in valet/bell men was attentive and responsive, Cody in registration was superb. He was professional? Friendly, efficient and responsive. We were coming from another hotel due to poor conditions and were making last minute registrations. Someone in our party was looking for an upgrade to ocean view. The hotel had a cancellation and they found her at the bar to make sure she could take it. Tyshell at the Salt Shack was excellent and another young lady. Good and service was very good!! I would definitely stay again.

Facility and surrounding areas were very nice. We went in slow season so the fact that the hotel was empty was a plus. The service was very good. Having the Nespresso pods was a big plus. We will be back!

This property was more than I expected. The ocean views were amazing. The staff was impeccable. Anything you asked for they made it happen besides having to pay for every little amenity what was offered it was great if you like Luxury, peace and quiet.

This is a premium property for the island. The rooms are quite nice, well designed, with great views. There are great linens, furnishings and other accoutrements. Upon my arrival, my room was not ready, which is shocking giving the very low occupancy during the off-season. As a premium property, nothing is cheap. Restaurant prices, valet, parking, and bar prices are top of the range for the island. But that’s to be expected. What is not expected is a relatively poor beach - with mostly rocks except for one narrow strip away from the rooms. You can see that the facility has probably seen a lot of sand erosion along the beachfront, as stairs that should land you on the beach actually stop about 3 feet above it. I would stay here again - but be aware of the limited beach and higher prices.

We had a wonderful "babymoon" stay at the Buoy House property and enjoyed the various dining options available on-site and from the sister property adjacent (Westin). The service team of the Buoy House was clearly dedicated to customer needs and comfort. We were impressed by and very comfortable with our room, and satisfied with the overall value. My wife and I would return to the Buoy House with our soon-to-be family another time, as we were encouraged by its boutique and tranquil atmosphere while still being family friendly.

Awesome time at the Buoy Haus. Rooms were clean, beach and amenities were top tier. Restaurants were convenient and food was good, especially breakfast at Salt Shack. Pool was the highlight, Wendy and his crew are the best in the business. Cannot say enough good things, hope to be back soon.

Bouy Haus is a fantastic resort for a quiet vacation away from the crowds. It has its own private beach and infinity pool, and non-motorized water activities. The rooms are nicely appointed and maintained well. We stayed in the ocean front room in first floor which was just a few steps from the beach. The two restaurants on site have good offering but limited vegetarian or vegan options. The beach front location more than make up for the average service which is still above par by island standards. Neighboring Westin has good food options. Very happy with the stay overall.
