Come for the views and pools, but don’t expect consistently polished Ritz service.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas is a five-star beachfront resort whose Great Bay setting and views toward St. John are its strongest assets. We’d consider it for a family resort holiday or an island-hopping trip: the infinity pool, family pool with waterslide, watersports and sailing excursions give it plenty to offer. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests frequently praise friendly staff, and the separately booked Club Lounge earns particularly consistent enthusiasm. Cleanliness is generally a strength.
The reservation is consistency, not the setting. Recent guests repeatedly describe slow restaurant or pool service, uneven food and occasional room-maintenance problems—disappointing at this level. Beach conditions vary, with some visitors reporting troublesome sargassum while others find clear water. The spread-out grounds also mean walks or cart rides between facilities. Factor in the daily resort fee and paid valet parking. We’d skip it if flawless service or dependable beach swimming is your priority.

Come for the views and pools, but don’t expect consistently polished Ritz service. A five-star beachfront resort on St. Thomas’s East End, scored for what it is.
The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas is a five-star beachfront resort whose Great Bay setting and views toward St. John are its strongest assets. We’d consider it for a family resort holiday or an island-hopping trip: the infinity pool, family pool with waterslide, watersports and sailing excursions give it plenty to offer. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests frequently praise friendly staff, and the separately booked Club Lounge earns particularly consistent enthusiasm. Cleanliness is generally a strength.
The reservation is consistency, not the setting. Recent guests repeatedly describe slow restaurant or pool service, uneven food and occasional room-maintenance problems—disappointing at this level. Beach conditions vary, with some visitors reporting troublesome sargassum while others find clear water. The spread-out grounds also mean walks or cart rides between facilities. Factor in the daily resort fee and paid valet parking. We’d skip it if flawless service or dependable beach swimming is your priority.
Best for: families wanting pools and watersports; couples considering Club Level; travelers planning island-hopping excursions
Watch out for: uneven dining and poolside service; variable beach and sargassum conditions; spread-out grounds and additional fees
Location: Scenic Great Bay setting near Red Hook; off-property dining and ferries require transportation.
Rooms: Private balconies and resort or ocean views; some recent guests report wear and maintenance faults.
Cleanliness: Strong overall guest ratings, despite scattered housekeeping and bathroom complaints.
Service: Warm staff earn frequent praise, but restaurant waits and inconsistent follow-through recur.
Amenities: Infinity and family pools, waterslide, spa, gym, tennis, watersports and catamaran excursions.
Fees and surprises: Daily resort fee and paid valet parking; Club Lounge access requires a qualifying booking.
