The rooms are really great and everything is clean. The slightly weird thing is there are still hurricane wrecks around the property. We dont mind that a bit and stay here all the time. The kitchenette is excellent for the 3 or 4 day work trips we do here.

OK property, bad attitude

The property is fine. A bit further from beautiful beaches but I knew that before arriving. However, the customer service is absolutely terrible. The front desk person is extremely rude, difficult to work with, and unfriendly. Other than enjoying the nice news of Havensight, my stay was average. With the attitude, I am for sure not going to come back nor recommend this place to anyone.

I am a frequent business traveler . I was provided no info at check-in about WiFi service. When I got to my room, I tried calling the front desk about 15 times to get an access code, but never got an answer (note, many of the hotel rooms are too far away from the lobby to walk there, especially at night). I then tried using the TV which was as complicated and unfriendly a system as I’ve ever experienced. Woke up this morning and tried calling the front desk to request a ride to the lobby, again, tried about 10 times with no answer. Eventually, security answered and basically told me to wait till someone showed up at the front desk because she didn’t have the keys for the golf cart. I ended up having to walk to the lobby, but when I got there, no one was at the front desk. Security told me someone would be there after 7. I left my key at the front desk and then had to figure out how to get a cab (but that’s another long, sordid story). This was my first and last stay at this facility.

I was not pleased by the ladies at the front desk. When I arrived, they did not ask if I’ve been there before or anything. As with other guests, (specifically other races), they gave them guides explained the process and how to get around the property. With me, I was piece milling everything together. In fact, they only told me about the $75 the morning I called to extend check out. (Again, wasn’t told of this process but that checkout was at 10). I wasn’t even aware of the food options, how to call a bell man or anything. With me being a content creator and knowing a lot of people - I cannot now recommend this property as I don’t want my friends and family lost or treated poorly by the front desk staff. Every time I’ve called to find out information, I was met with a nasty attitude as if I should have known or they should have told me when I arrived. No one told me anything! The island is gorgeous but find somewhere else to stay that’ll make you feel welcomed and honored to be a host. In addition, if you stay on at the hilltop please note it’s the same location. It’s just the other side of the property. This wasn’t advised to me either. I found out when I checked in again and she had a nasty attitude about me leaving my things in the room and someone would move them when my room was ready.

The Villa was huge with stunning views of the harbour, updated interior. Decor was perfect and very comfortable. Everything worked great. Huge Shower. Well equipped kitchen. This resort is on a very steep slope and roads and parking lots have potholes and rough old macadam. But that didn't bother me. Food was very good at the restaurant and very nice wait staff. I only stayed 2 days after a sailing trip. I would stay again.

It’s beautiful! We have a great view of the harbor in our porch. The restaurant serves great food. The server is helpful. The pool is nice. If you need to get a taxi before 7 am, you need to plan ahead.

Pirates Pension at Bluebeard's Castle is a great location for a visit at St Thomas. Situated on a hill above Charlotte Amalie you get a great view of the cruise ships and other boats in the water which is within walking distance. It is a hill, so walking is down and up. Nice location with nice rooms. A little noisy on weekends from the restaurants at the port

Beautiful location. Rooms in great condition and comfortable. Difficulties with transportation. The property is located up a hill and sidewalks are limited walking to town. Taxis are not always available specially on the days there are cruise ships in the bay. The staff at the restaurant, luggage storage is great. The front desk , on the other hand, is nort very cordial.

Overall good location with gorgeous views of the bay. Beds and pillows were i bit to firm for my taste. The room was spacious and overall clean. Except the floor was fairly dirty and the back slider had a broken lock.

Having the restaurant on the property was convenient and the food was decent. The pool and hot tub were nice, the room was clean and had everything needed. The wait staff was friendly all around. The castle was closed even though the sign said it was open daily Monday- Saturday which was disappointing.

Expensive and the property is a little worn down and aging, but we loved how it preserved its former Danish and pirate culture and history. Our son was especially fascinated by all the canons and the statue of Blue Beard. Some of the front desk staff seemed a little disorganized and not the friendliest. The restaurant was ok and also a little over-prices. Our server, Shy, was terrific though and so friendly. But, the Pirate Pension rooms were spacious and had everything you needed. I wish we could have stayed longer!
