Bolongo Bay Beach Resort

This was our first all-inclusive experience and it was fantastic! We loved the family-owned vibe, David was always checking in with us seeing how we were liking everything. We are both in the service industry and the guest service impressed us from start to finish! The servers and bartenders were so friendly! They remembered us and our room number, plus always said hello with a smile! It really made the week even better. The food and drinks were 10/10. We loved everything at both Oasis and Iggies! Such great variety and quality! The resort itself is beautiful! We loved having the pool/swim-up pool bar or beach option. It was also never crazy busy in the pool, just a nice lively level of guests. The views are gorgeous! We did 3 boat activities on Heavenly Days: the sunset sail, half day sea turtle snorkeling and the Limeout trip on Saturday. The crew was excellent!! We love Erin, Wes, James & Caymen! The front desk was also so helpful with getting us taxis! We only had one hiccup which was our AC not working the best but we stayed cool with the fans. We will absolutely be back & recommend Bolongo Bay to friends!

Location is perfect between Red Hook and Charolette Great homey vibe throughout the reaort Comfortable rooms with outstanding views An iconic beach bar just reopened there Iggies but is located far enough from rooms that noice is never an issue Service staff are always delightful and they make you feel like you’re the only one there Price value food incredible! Stay home dont come to my favorite place to stay in St Thomas!!!

Resort had a great vibe. The family that runs the place cares about your experience. We took 2 trips on the heavenly days boat, and spent one day out in town. Otherwise we found it easy to stay busy at the resort with the all-inclusive package. We stayed for 4 nights, and really enjoyed it. We saw a lot of wildlife and the beach never felt crowded.

The best family friendly spot ever. Santana was a phenomenal server and treated our family as her own at the Oasis. Big Dog was amazing at Iggys🥰. The man at the beach shack for the paddle boards and kayaks was top notch. The entire hotel staff was perfect. I can’t recommend this place more for families. The staff truly treated us like a we part of their Caribbean family. The Sunday Funday catamaran was the best day ever! Captain Wes was amazing!!! Only thing I am mad about is that Bolongo added a lime out trip just before we came. Side bar: Lime out is meh. Secret harbor is better than Sapphire 😘

Our stay at Bolongo Bay was very nice. I thought all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room had an ocean view which we loved. The food at the Oasis and Iggys was very good. You are definitely given plenty to eat! Drinks were delicious but I would not say they were very strong. Rooms are clean but we did have issues with the toilet a couple of times. When this was brought to their attention it was quickly remedied. It was definitely a “laid back” atmosphere- which is something we appreciated.

Just what we needed to relax for the week. - Enjoyed the all inclusiveness (Tried all the morning mimosas ) Because of food prices on the island this the way to go for most of your meals. - Staff was remarkable and friendly. Bartender memorized our bar order by the second day. Waiter found us one last piece of coconut bread pudding when they were "out." - Not one but two kitty mascots (Izzy and George) - Wonderful beach with lovely Adirondacks chairs for napping. - Good food and plenty of it - we could not eat all that was included - Iguanas, geckos, a Chicken! - never figured out if the chicken was a guest or a resident. Some guests were a little noisy at night, but we enjoyed the live music each night, up close or from the balcony. Sandy beach is pretty narrow, gets rocky in a hurry, but that's good for snorkeling.

Our family traveled to Bolongo Bay 1/10/26. If you want to stay at a giant corporate resort this may not be for you. Small, family owned resort. Restaurant, bar and beach are a short, very easy walk from our hotel room. Great views. The family who runs it made us feel welcome. So did the staff. We had a great time and will go back again. Go to St. John for a day. Easy trip. Stunning beaches.

We spent a week there in Jan 2026, with the all-inclusive option. Overall, it was a marvelous vacation. All the staff there were friendly and helpful. The resort has been there since the 1970s and they have tried to keep it updated and still have some work to do (unsurprisingly given most USVI resources are scarce due to hurricane damages from the 2017 twin Cat 5's). There is construction everywhere! Food was excellent, drinks were plentiful, the beach and water were warm and inviting. The "all-inclusive" food/drink option was worth every penny. We stopped at a McD's while out prowling around and paid $18 for 2 burgers, fries and Cokes! We did not partake of any of the water sports/tours they offer but several we spoke with thought highly of them. Our room was fine, but we could hear our neighbors through the locked common door, which was unfortunate when they had a fight at 1:30 in the morning. The chairs are not really comfortable for watching TV for any length of time so we folded up beach towels for some padding. Cellphone and internet reception were fine. We suggest avoiding Charlotte-Amalie when the cruise ships are docked as they add 13,000 - 25,000 visitors per day to all the shops, restaurants, etc. Go into town early (before 9 am) or after 5 pm. Remember, Islanders drive on the left, so you MUST pay attention when driving. Roads are narrow and steep and local drivers seem to be trying out for NASCAR jobs! Gas was about $4.27/gallon on 1/16/26.

My partner and I spent a week here in January 2026 and got the all-inclusive package. We had a great experience here and would definitely come back. Atmosphere: The resort had a very relaxing vibe. There seemed to be a mix of couples, friend groups, and families. One of the restaurants had some live entertainment and different things going on at night (like karaoke) which added some excitement. Food: We had most of our meals at the resort and we enjoyed them. There were sufficient options/variety and the food was fresh. We aren’t foodies, so specific foods were not a priority for our trip. Our priority was convenience, and between the two resort restaurants, it was definitely convenient! Keep in mind that things in St. Thomas run on island time, and that applies to the restaurants, as well. So while service was a little slower than in the mainland, we were still well attended to and never waited too long for service. Room: The rooms are on the smaller end, but that was perfect for us. We weren’t spending much time in the room anyways. We got an ocean view room which had a private balcony overseeing the beach. The showers are very small (standing showers, no tub) but we made do! Activities: The beach activities available were great. It was easy to get towels and snorkel gear. We were able to snorkel right at the resort’s beach. We usually didn’t have a problem finding available beach chairs. Be prepared for some rocks. It’s a mostly sandy beach, but there’s a section that’s rocky. We brought water shoes in anticipation of that and they worked well. The pool was also nice for a more relaxing swim. Staff: I can’t speak highly enough of the resort staff! Everyone was welcoming, kind, and helpful. Checking in/out was really easy. Someone gave us a quick tour when we arrived. Any questions we had were promptly answered. The housekeeping staff were wonderful and did an excellent job keeping the room clean. She even noticed my partner and I don’t share bedsheets and made the bed with one on each side. We found that really thoughtful, and it made our lives easier! Excursions: We did the Heavenly Days sea turtle excursion and it was really fun! We had plenty of time to snorkel (a little over an hour). We saw lots of turtles and other cool sea creatures. The crew was great too! Misc: There is an ATM on-site which was very convenient (be prepared to have cash for taxis, especially on St. John). The gift shop had both souvenirs and traveling basics. Parking was super easy (for those renting a car). It is not within walking distance to anything besides what’s on the resort, so be prepared to drive or take taxis to explore other parts of the island. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go back!

We have our third trip coming up next month so that alone should tell you we love this place. We always choose all inclusive and feel we definitely get our money’s worth. From my first Bloody Mary at breakfast followed by a yummy lunch and late dinner and drinks in between, Bolongo Bay can’t be beat. When you combine a beautiful location, happy friendly people with a great atmosphere, what else could you ask for?
