Centrally located on the island. Nice large balcony with table and chairs and beautiful view of the harbor and cruise ships. Great open kitchen with up to date appliances. There was a washer/dryer unit in the bathroom which we didn’t use. Convenient parking near our unit. However, our unit was 3 flights down from the parking lot (no elevators). One night we ate at the hotel restaurant. Food was mediocre. Lovely view of the harbor. Toward the end of dinner, it started to rain very hard and the ceiling started leaking heavily forcing diners to try to avoid getting soaked. Restaurant workers were slow to assist customers.

HAMIEKA IS AMAZING ! My family and I got stuck here an additional two nights and she was so helpful from start to end . Her customer service was above and beyond from when we got to the hotel and even after . The gentleman with the golf cart is also so amazing . He was the best helping us get around the entire time . I will defer come back here. This is the kind of service one seeks when they leave the comfort of their own homes. They made everything feel great and not stressful ! Thank You!

We had an excellent stay. The pool area is beautiful and open until midnight. The restaurant we great. Food was good and they had entertainment almost every night of our visit. They were very helpful in getting us a taxi whenever we needed one as well. Greeting the staff with a "good morning" is island courtesy and they were all very pleasant with us. The only complaint I have is that it isn't really walking friendly. There are lots of steps from the rooms at the bottom of the property to the lobby, and with the property being so high up on the hill you can't really walk into the main street shopping area near the property...well you can't really walk back up anyways. Overall we had an excellent stay with a beautiful view of the bay. Our room was comfortable and clean.

Needs a facelift & attitude adjustment

The property is in rough shape. It was probably great in 1990! The bellman was rude. Everyone but the bartenders seem bothered to give service. The whole place seems like it’s ripping at the seams. Our room was comfortable enough but there were stray hairs all over the place. Gross! The food and drinks were okay, but it’s weird that they serve everything in styrofoam and plastic.

Nice stay, great views regardless of floor. Great beaches (especially Megan’s bay - walk all the way to the left it’s super secluded). The only negative things are: the food is mid, you have to taxi basically everywhere, and they rip you off as soon as they hear ur not from the island. Get a restaurant worker to call with the “island boy” accent and you’ll get a better rate.

I would absolutely stay here again! Great location. About $12-19 a person for a taxi most places. Love that th report takes care of a lot for you, need a taxi? They got it! Wasn’t crowded st all, room in the hot tub every night! Great food, good people! Events like live music and karaoke! Near the port making it easy to travel to other islands. Close to duty free shopping! Thank you for everything!

Pirates Pension was a Lovely place to stay. It was quiet with a well set up kitchen, and a gorgeous view of the harbour. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. We spent a week touring around St. Thomas and St.John and this spot was perfect as a base. Please note it is up a hill so having a rental car like we did was ideal.

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.
