Hotels near Great St. James

"We came to Margaritaville to relax, see St. Thomas, eat good food, drink island cocktails, listen to good music, and experience local flavor. Margaritaville let us do all that and more. The room was clean and well appointed. We were near the upper pool, which is a big plus if you like a swim up bar and a two for one happy hour. We loved the golf cart shuttles on the property and it was great to have a taxi near the front lobby every time we needed one. The food in the restaurant was better than we expected. Breakfast was especially good. Shoutout to Chris for being a great server. The bar at the main pool was a lot of fun and had plenty of seating. We didn't get in the ocean at the property because Coki Beach is literally less than 10 minutes walk away and is much more fun and lively. The only misstep we experienced was not knowing the vacation club rooms don't come with housekeeping. A week is a long time to have sandy sheets! Speaking of steps, there were 150 steps up the hill from the restaurant to our room. I counted. So you will definitely be taking advantage of the golf cart shuttles a lot. Overall, the resort is a solid choice, close to lots of beaches and to St. John's ferry, plus many great restaurants and bars. Bring lots of cash for taxis, or rent a car and take your life in your hands! Either way, you'll enjoy Margaritaville, and it might make you a little nostalgic for one particular harbor. "

"I loved my stay here! ❤️ I will be back. "

"During the first full day of our four-night stay, the unit lost power around noon while the island was experiencing outages. We notified the property contact at approximately 1:00 p.m. and were told power would return within 30–60 minutes. By 6:00 p.m., power had not been restored, and we were informed the water would be turned off in an effort to restore power. At approximately 7:30 p.m., we reported that our unit still had no power or water. We were then informed the water supply was connected to a neighbor’s generator, which was no longer available. Without running water, we had to use pool water to flush the toilet. After I sent a picture of the unit below us with power and us without, the property owner indicated the generator was not functioning and that someone would be sent to repair it. Our rental agreement stated the unit had a generator and continuous water access. Power returned around midnight. The next morning, we secured alternate accommodations and left. The property owner issued a partial refund and advised us to contact Hotels.com regarding any additional reimbursement. We feel we were not made whole. "

"We loved everything about our stay - just wished we had stayed longer. The beachfront room was perfect for our family and the view was amazing. The beach was perfect for the kids to swim and snorkel and we even got to meet some friendly sting rays right off the shore! The restaurant had good food options - all of which were yummy. We will definitely be returning :)"

"The room was perfect! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed, the bed was comfy, towels, beach chairs, etc were provided as well. The best part was the balcony! We hung out on the balcony every time we were in the room, the view was amazing. Will definitely be staying here again! "

"Everthing was amazing at sapphire beach resort. I have zero things to complain about"

"Owner of condo was in touch from the minute we rented and offered excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to do. While we were there, it was easy to contact with the owner. Her response was immediate. Condo is a studio located with a beautiful view of the marina and st John. The pool is located a short walk from unit. Sufi's restaurant is also only a short walk and offers good food and drinks. Sapphire Beach is close by, too and a beautiful spot to hang out. The marina provides numerous opportunities for tours, boat rentals... we had a fantastic time and highly recommend "
