    Overall felt like there wasn't enough staff. Long wait at check-in for example, room wasn't ready for over 2 hours past check-in time. Beach was a bit short and the ocean floor is rocky at that location. Wished the breakfast buffet was more extensive.

    Location and food were great overall. Property and pools were very nice.

    Biggest disappointment was the level of noise and disruption in mornings. This varied by very young children next door, including a surprising number in one room. Our TV consistently had poor service. Also, adult pool was not as expected- significant number of children each day. Including very young children in diapers and becoming ill .

    Club level services were excellent,as were the pool. Restaurant on property were all very good. Staffing top notch.

    Only things that you couldn’t have done anything about. But I will say that on our stay one of the employees walked by and asked about our day. When hearing about how sunburned we had gotten and wished for aloe a fresh cut cup came delivered while we were away. That’s not a compliment or a complaint. That’s above all expectation.

    I’m fond of fine dining but for a little fella from Tennessee I would have loved some bacon/ham, home fried potatoes and eggs. Maybe just a hash of some kind. And the menu, which was delicious, was limited. I love a good tuna sandwich, you provide one, but that’s more my cold cut for lunch rather than my breakfast to get started with.

    Had to change rooms three times to get the room we expected from booking. Didn’t like the fact that you can’t use an upgrade when going through booking.com

    The resort was nice. Rooms were clean. Most of the workers were friendly.

    The gift shop leaves a lot to be desired for a 4 or 5 star resort. My wife and I went looking for some gifts and keepsakes and there wasn’t anything worth buying. We also had a bad experience at the Bluewater restaurant. The wait staff seemed to completely forget we existed. It took o we an hour for our food, we had one drink and were never asked if we’d like another one the entire time.

    The property is stunning! It combines old world charm with modern updates and amenities. The pools are great, the private beach is a major plus, and the views of St. John and beyond are breathtaking.

    It's a bit out of the way from the island's main hubs. Perfect if you want to sit at the beach all day and relax but not ideal if you're looking to explore the area.

    Room and view were beautiful. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The restaurant options both onsite and accessible via their free shuttle were excellent.

    They don’t clean the rooms every day; it’s more like they make the beds and bring towels. I wanted clean sheets. The menus are limited; felt like we ate the same things every day. They don’t have smaller towels for hands or hair; only one size in the bathroom. They charge a delivery fee in addition to the high prices for in-room dining, even when the restaurants were closed due to storms. The beach area is small and was dirtier than going to the local beaches.

    The gardens / grounds are breathtaking!!! The pools were in abundance. The views are amazing. Most of the staff are very helpful and accommodating. The food is yummy. The beds are very comfortable.

    Check-in process was not smooth and we were left waiting to know when our room was ready. The bed was too soft for our taste and as not as comfortable as we would have hoped. Food was good, but did not exceed our expectations.

    All-inclusive amenities, friendly staff, beautiful grounds and scenery. Spacious room and balcony. Many good choices for restaurants on the campus. Nice spa and wide variety of services.

    One of the bathrooms had an issue with panels falling and one fell on my daughter's foot while getting ready one morning, they are a bit heavy. I tried to call the head engineer (card was in room) but did not get a reply.

    Overall, we had an excellent time, a very memorable vacation. Booking.com made it so easy and the price that was advertised is what we paid. No gimicks. This is much appreciated and we will use Booking.com again. Excellent breakfasts and dinners at Bluewater. The concierge is amazing. So knowledgeable and willing to help. Did not rush me and answered all my questions. Gave great tips that made our trip that much better. The resort is close to other beaches and very close to the ferry terminal to St John.

    The pillows were not that comfortable compared to other Ritz hotels I’ve stayed at. The restaurant Coconut Cove had horrible service. We arrived at 2pm and didn’t get our room until close to 5pm. They did apologize though.

    95% of the personel there starting from front desk all the way to pool people all of them are very dry, not welcoming and sometimes plain rude. The ladies working at the reception and the concierge dont show any sign of hospitality, always just a few short words showing the impression that they are bothered by your question Tbia is not Ritz way of hospitality. Their nigjtly rates are over $1300 per nigjht, but service is the level Holiday Inn at best. We will never go back and would not recommend to anyone. Save your money and time and go somewhere else!

    The beach and the weafher was nice. The food at the restaurants was good.
