We had a great stay at Pirates Pension at Bluebeards Castle! The resort sits on a hill with beautiful views of the turquoise water and nearby islands—you can enjoy it from the suites, the pool/bar, and even the gym with its oversized windows. Our suite had tropical tile floors, a cozy balcony, and a small kitchenette with a cooktop, mini fridge/freezer, microwave, and sink. It was spacious for two and comfortable, though it could use a few minor repairs. We also saw a 1-bedroom king suite with a full kitchen, wraparound balcony, and dual bathroom access—great layout. The pool and jacuzzi hours (8am–12am) were perfect for relaxing, and the bar served a good breakfast—get there early if you have excursions. The staff was helpful and friendly, especially Shawn & the at the front desk team who gave great tips for dining, nightlife, and getting to St. John. We arrived before check-in but were able to complete the process early and enjoy lunch at the pool bar while we waited. They offer bell service and pool towels are already in your suite, which was convenient. We rented a Jeep, which we recommend—the hill is steep and not walkable. Stores, the cruise port, and fast food are a quick 5-minute drive away. Red Hook was about 20 minutes and had more local food, excursions, and ferry access. Would definitely stay here again!

This is not really walkable to anything. The roads are too steep and there is not always a sidewalk. Front desks people were not friendly. They seemed bothered. Our unit 401 had about 4 flights of stairs to take to come and go. Daughter said sofa bed was not comfortable and lastly the noise (bands, etc) from the area below goes until late night/early morning - earplugs would’ve been helpful. Appreciated the updated bathroom, washer and dryer, coffee maker and coffee, cold AC, nice view of cruise port, quick drive to many good places to eat.

My problem was that my bathroom shower drain had hair in it and the floors wasn’t clean. Sticky and slippery. Also if there’s no towels and wash cloths on the rack where they belong look under neath the sink in the cabinet. The room was awesome awesome though.

Staff put us in a room that we nicknamed the dungeon. 6 flights of stairs down with no elevator. Asked to be moved siting ADA limitations to no avail. Room did not have a phone ☎️ which was another problem. Thank God I didn’t have a medical emergency while there because I would have surely died. Staff treated me like a 2nd class citizen because I booked through Expedia. I would not recommend. Ira the bellman was AMAZING ‼️

Enjoyed my stay at the property with my family. Clean and good amenities. Beautiful views and right in Charlotte Amalie. Lots of stairs. Restaurant was good-nice staff and food. However, front desk staff could have been friendlier and could never get responses to inquiries via Expedia or email.

Perfect Location

Staying at Bluebeard was an absolute joy! Staff was helpful, there’s always a taxi ready to take you were you need to go, and the view is insanely gorgeous. As a solo woman traveler I felt safe and cared for. My only complaint is my room didn’t have a phone in it. But the front desk provides you with all the contact numbers that you can dial from your cellphone. Also, from my balcony you could hear all the music on a Saturday night for free.

Overall it was a good experience but there were a few really silly things. They didn’t serve hot tea at the pool bar which is where breakfast is. So we had to go upstairs to get hot water. That’s just dumb. One of the younger servers during breakfast at the pool bar was snotty and she needs an attitude adjustment
